 Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter
 Now York, January S-(Specia1.)- )-The market today was of the same character as we have had since Christmas with buyers in a small market where there were no sellers excepting those willing
 to take profits. There was not quite the
 same demand for October as of late. ap- parently the immediate demand against goods sold into next season had been
 supplied during the past few days. I.o- cal sentiment continues to be bullish at this new high level tn the absence of hedge selling from southern buyers and they are quietly confident of higher
 prices. They feel that no political new1 (such as caused the decline last winter). can occur. which might lead to desire l on the part of holders in the south to hedge the cotton they have on hand. St. Louis. January 8.-Hogs: Receipts.
