Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, October 26.-(Specialo After a contemplation of the ginners' report, the Liverpool market decided that it indicated smaller supply of cotton, and that market advanced, clos ing firm at the highest prices in 50 years here, the pessimistic feeling throughout the west and north found expression in the selling of the dis tant deliveries. because the price was too high and that the pressure of cot ton would soon cause decline This selling at a great discount has created quite large short interest, with d resulting bearish tone. Spinners con- tinue to buy slowly. but continuously, as they arc able to sell goods at hand some profits. as the government is ab- sorbing large quantities which more than offset the civilian demand. That there Is no speculation except in spot cotton is shown by the discount at which distant deliveries arc for sale

Over W. E. Campbelps Wire

New Orleans, October 26.-Narrow fluc- tuations and no decided trend sum up the behavior of the cotton market today. Against the price was the constant talk of a reaction from the bear element and with 1t were the growing conviction of shortness of crop this year and the firm ness with which spots are being held.
 The market opened at a small advance, soon fell off to a small decline, recovered,
 broke again and finally late in the day stood at it's lowest, a net decline of to 2l points. At it's best it was at net ad- vance of Q to 13 points Less attention is
 being paid to weather conditions, which is natural, and is acknowledgement on
 the part of bearish traders that the grow
 ing season is over and that nothing can
 be added to the yieid no matter how fa- vorable conditions should become. As it
 is, the weather in the main continues
 against rather than with the picking Of
 the crop. any anything that would aid
 picking would, obviously, add to the yield
 to some extent.
 The present ginning period ends next
 Wednesday and already there is specu-
 lation concerning the output, because
 bullish traders contend that the ginning
 of 55H, SPA bales to October II represented
 about half the total crop. The next gin-
 ming report promises to be an important
 document. The market may, and proba-
 ply Will, reel reactions In the near 1u- ture, but eventually will head for higher levels and we advise operations accord ingly.-Shepard & Gluck.
 Sentiment seems more bearish since ginners' report and passing of October $. t& G.

 New York.-The present price is high and we consider sales of long cotton ad-
 vsable. Although a further advance Is entirely possible, we expect much lower prices eventually.-S. M. Weld & Co. New Orleans.-zThere is pressure on the market which some spot people seem to think is designed to shake loose specu- latively held spot cotton in the interior | s. & G.
 Sentiment is somewhat more bearish, but the market does not respond well at all to selling orders. Much is being made of heavier movement. estimated receipts
 at ports today being 45,O00, against 5000 last year. The weekend figures are likely to have bearish cast partly on account of increa sed receipts and partly because they will go against compara- lively heavy mill takings last year. Bulls, however, are beginning to claim that yes- terday's ginning figures in bales represent about 50 per cent of crop-S. & c.

Arizona APPROPRIATIONS
IN AGRICULTURE BILL

has been granted an increased appro-
priation SO that it will be possible to
carry out soil survey in some county
in Arizona in the near future. No
work of this character has been done
since 1904. when the soil surveys were
made of the Salt River and Yuma
reclamation projects.
The Bureau of Markets was also
given additional funds to carry on it's
activities, and steps have been taken
looking to cooperative marketing
work in Maricopa county. The bill
also makes appropriations for the
breeding and study of alkali and
drought resistant crops, for investiga-
tions in connection with western irri-
cation agriculture, and for the i'm
provement Of the methods of crop pro-
duction under dry-land conditions.
Many of the employees of the Forest
Service and the other Bureaus of the
Department of Agriculture in Arizona
should be happy because provision is
made for 10 per cent increase in all
salaries under $1,000 per annum. Those
whose compensation is between $1,000
and $500 will receive a raise of per
cent. The bill carries total appro-
priation of over 25,6OO,OOO wnlcn is the
largest sum ever authorized to be ex-
1aI fo,
and stock growers of the United States.

capitol building, and forty feet longer

If bill introduced in the state senate
by Senator Rutherford of Yavapai
county becomes law. Plans for the
new addition were prepared by Lesher
and Kibbey, Phoenix architects, two
years ago, and are now on file with the
board Of control
The new addition would be connected
with the present building by a wide,
circular lobby, surmounted by large
dome. The space in this part of the
lobby would be used for an exhibition
hall, for the display of historic objects,
and for memorial tablets. In the new
wing provision is made for the supreme
court, the attorney general and the
state library. These would have quar-
tiers on the second floor The legisla-
tive chambers are to be located on the
third floor and the galleries and store
rooms on the third floor The ground
floor would be given over to the state
engineer, the adjutant general, and a
number of small offices.
If erected, the new addition would
provide enough room to accommodate
the rapidly growing state land depal.
ment, the corporation commission and
the state tax commission. All of these
departments are crowded at present,
in the case of the land department
have been obliged to place desks in the
lobby to provide a place for clerks to
work. The state engineers, the super
intendent Of public instruction and the
mine inspector have been obliged to
give up their offices to the legislature
as they did two years ago, and the ad-
jutant general will also have to give
up his quarters adjoining the house
chamber. The state library is even
more crowded than some of the other
departments many Of the books being
slowed away in cubby-hoIes on INC

GLOBE MEN
DEMAND j. S.
OPEN ROAD

GLOBE, Ariz., Jan. 19.-Declaring
that the government has not fulfilled
it's part of the agreement as to the
building of bridges over the San Carlos
and ella rivers, Globe business men
who furnished a bond in the sum of
$4,000 are preparing to take legal steps
for the opening of the bridges on the
reservation.
The last state legislature appropri-
ated $4,000 for the construction of
highway between the San Carlos and
ella river bridges and Globe business
men furnished surety in order to have
the Indian Agent take charge of the
construction. Now that the road is
built it is claimed that the government
refuses to turn it over to either the
state or county government, and is de-
handing from the sureties the excess
cost over $4,000.

SHELTER NOT
LIKELY TO UNDERPAY

The impracticability for a shelter to
underpay any one from whom it has
purchased ore is well brought out in
Bulletin No. 26 of the Arizona State
Bureau of Mines, written by H. J.
Stander. A smelter is always willing
to present the seller with half of the
sample obtained at the smelter in order
that he himself may have the sample
assayed and If his results should not
agree with those obtained at the
smeIter the latter is furthermore will
ing to refer the whole matter to an
umpire assay. When it is considered
that the obtaining Of these samples is
largely for the purpose of directing the
operations of the smelter as well as for
determining the value of the ore, it
can be seen that the possibility of
false or low returns is very small The
ried out by smelter handling large
quantities of ore, makes it an impossi-
bility to get false sample as to
specially favor itself
Smelter methods of sampling are
easily understood, and are described in
full in Bulletin No. 26 of the Arizona
State Bureau of Mines. This bulletin,
by H. J. Stander, may be obtained by

MIAMI WILL
INCREASE ITS
YEARLY OUTPUT

MIAMI, Ariz., Jan. 19.-Preparations
to increase it's annual production to
100000 pounds of copper year, are
being made by the Miami Copper COM
pany. The present production is on
basis of 60,000,OOO pounds year The
increase in production will accomplish
plished by increasing the tonnage of
ore treated to 5000 tons daily, finer
grinding in order to increase saving,
and the saving of large proportion
of oxidized copper. A 1O0-ton expert
mental plant has been erected for the
purpose of testing recoveries from oxi-
died ore. Hardinge ball mills will re-
place the rolls at the head of each Sec
t1on of the ccncentrator, thus giving
finer ore as well as increased capacity.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The Agri-
culture Appropriation Bill which has

of items that are of direct interest to
the people of Arizona. The~te Ma

opposed to being taxed to make up the
deficites which are incurred by the
Forest Service in other states. No ac-
ton could be taken by the house be-
cause the contemplated raise in the
grazing rates is not to be made by an
Act OF Congress but by a regulation
issued by the Secretary of Agriculture.
The rules of the house do not permit
an amendment to be offered to an ap-
preparation bill which would take away
from the secretary this authority to
increase the charges for grazing, so
that the western members were unable
to offer such motion at this time.
