Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, April IA weak market in
Liverpool today was unexpected, and our
market showed surprising strength, due
to covering demand from local sources
in expectation of a poor crop report. This
report was poor. as the trade had ex-
pected. hut as the weather had improved
since the report was compiled the mar
ket became heavy Immediately after il
was issued, Reports of large contracts
for government account at one time
brought in some buyers, but in the att
ernoon the houses with western connec-
tons became free sellers, causing rapid
decline.
During the last half hour LIQUIDATION
caused by southern hedge sales reached
stop orders upon a market where there
were no buying orders from the trade to
absorb these offerings.

| New Orleans, April M.-Prices were
somewhat higher in the early trading in
cotton today, but in the afternoon the
market turned very weak under liqu;da-
| ton stimulated by the drop of cent
pound in spots and by the nearness OF
first notices on May The weekly crop
accounts from the'government were fully
as unfavorable as expected, but they
had little effect. Around the opening
prices were II to q points off, in SYM
pathy with a poor Liverpool From this
there was rally and a rise to a level
l6 to 10 points over yesterdays close, but
in the afternoon the market made new
low levels. standing late in the day a.
net decline of about 100 points. The
weekly crop accounts make it plain that
the crop IL getting a late and unsatisfac-
tory start. Continued low temperatures
and too much rain have hindered plant
ing and the replanting made necessary
by the recent cold wave. While the new
crop outlook cannot be considered alarm
ing, it certainly is not bright The re-
ADJUSTMENT in spot quotations sent mid
ding down to &c pound, which COM
pares with the price of 2.30c on May at
the low levels today. We can see no SELL
ing argument here. While the outcome
of the May position is not clear, we do
not believe tenders will go begging,
either here or in New York. Tomorrow
is first notice day in both markets The

DRIVE ENEMY BACK

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE MARINE, July 15 (By The Asso- ciated Press) ).-Along one extended sector of the Marne frcnt, the Amer jeans were in the open ground. The Germans were on hills on the opposite bank, showering high explosives and gas shells upon them. But the boys from the United States went forward with gas masks crawling at times on all fours.
 When they came close enough to come to grips they drove the enemy back quickly.
 In a measure they repatd today the heroic deeds of those who defend ed the road to Paris in the second battle of the Marne.
 Southwest of Jaulgonne this morn ing the Germans crossed the river with a rush and started to fight their way south. The Americans and French held up this advance so that two hours after the time set by the enemy for reaching his objective nine miles away he was still far away

YANKEES BRILLIANTLY RESIST
 BIG TEUTON OFFENSIVE ATTACK

were anxious to erect a bridge, but their efforts were fruitless. The American bullets piled up the German dead on the opposite side of the river every time the enemy started to cross.
 South of Jaulgonne the enemy crossed the Marne this morning on six pontoon bridges hurriedly thrown over the stream and masses of infan- try swarmed forward The artillery constantly had theb ridges under the heaviest fire and at least two direct hits were made, two of the bridges being blown up.
 After sharp artillery work, German troops advanced behind a great cloud of smoke, which completely obscured them for a time from view. The low visibility also aided the enemy in his operations.
 "The correspondent talked with scme American soldiers now in the hospital who were in the thick of the fighting this morning. They were in complete agreement that the German infantry was no match for the Amer jeans.
 This is evidenced by the reports from all the American hospitals there being only a few cases of wounds from rife and machine gun fire. while most of the men are suffering from shraps mel wounds. Some of these cases are serious"
 The German prisoners captured in the counter attack by the Americans at the bend on the Marne number between 1000 and 1500.
 They include a complete brigade staff.
 The fighting continues with fierce intensity iE this district while the battle rages with equal ferocity on the right. where the French are reported to have delivered a smashing blow against the enemy. From this section of the battle front it appears that the German offensive. at least for the time being. has been badly shattered.
 The Americans now command the river front at the bend. At the left Of the bend the famous German tenth division has made repeated attempts all day to cross. but all assaults have been smashed by the splendidly direct ed fire of the American gunners, and not single German had succeeded in getting over at this point up to g o'clock tonight
