Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s. Letter

New York, May THE weakness in
Liverpool surprised the trade, but they
felt that for the moment at least the
market would probably remain about on
the present level They acted on TINS
theory as they have for the past few
days taking the offerings on declines
today. The better tone in financial cir
cles offset the good weather conditions
over the cotton belt, so that the market
presents a better undertone than of late,
though there has been no increase in the
investment demand or from the mills.

there appeared to be very little de-

Over w. E. Campbelps Wire

New Orleans. May 7.-While there vas
moderately heavy selling of cotton in the
early trading today, under which the
to A points, the undertone was steadied
at all times by reports of greatly inn
proved spot inquiry and after the first
break the market spent the remainder OF
the session in recovering. late in the day
standing about Is to 40 points UP. The
early selling had as its incentive the
dry and warm weather prevailing over
the belt.
There is no question that the prevail
ing weather over the belt are decided
improvement over the weather of the last
month, but there is question of whe Their
the damage which has been done by wet
and cold can be repaired in time to give
the crop anything like an average start.
To many crop observers, even admitting
the best possible weather conditions dur
ing May and June. it looks like a late
and unsatisfactory start and it is already
claimed that much land originally plant
ed to cotton, which experienced too
much cold and wet weather, is being
replanted to food crops.
Again, the labor situation is not as
good as it was when planting com
menced, partly owing to the draft and
partly to the continued great demand
for labor from all industries.
The Improvement in the spot inquiry
is general, nearly every state in the belt
reporting increased inquiries on the part
of buyers. Sales in this market today
were nearly 5000 bales.
We do not believe the market can be
held down If the spot demand persists

Some thought this might mean that cof-
fee needed for troops abroad would be
shipped direct from Brazil and roasted
on the other side, while others pointed
out that IN any event it would lessen the
demand on domestic stocks. On the
