Hutton's Stock Letter

Steel has been supported. Distllers, Malt and Can have been bought and everything else has ben sold The rail road earnings published were sufficient to account for the low prices
 One trouble with the market is that the bears have been driven out. The street has been flooded with bull talk and there has been so much written about bear attacks that very few are left on that side of the market.
 Both Can and Distillers have evidence of concentrated buying. People generally believe dividends of coppers will be Ter duced at meeting next week. There has never been more disappointing day, as the feeling before the opening was that we would have a better market.-Hutton & Co

Sheppard & Gluck's Letter
(Ry Carlpbelrs wire.)

(By CaGlppGil WiiV''
 Although no great buying power devel- oped in cotton today, the undertone was steady and prices had tendency to ad- vance moderately on expectations of bui- fish bureau reports tomorrow. Among many traders the disposition was to even up. The resumption of future trading III ivarnool attracted less attention than expected. The higher prices for the new contract over the old puzzled the traae considerably, and no one prolessed .o know much about the new conditiohs II the English market. ana renorts from eastern belt following the hurricane make it plain that the cr0p oe has suffered damage since September 70. the date to which tomorrows condition report will carry it. More than ever is is looks like a small crop year. Cotton s ls st;II sallinp well below it's legitimate value. hence we continue to advise puy- ing on all easy spots.
