 ! Hubbard Bros. x Co.'S Letter l New York, September 1S.- -fSpeciaio In the absence of positive assurances l that prices will not be fixed, prices 1 sagged again today; that is the record of market in which buyers are timid 1 because of the existence of threatened action by power whose action they l cannot gauge. We think the small hedge selling is about offset by the the smail spinners' demand. One can 1 hardly expect an active inquiry from spinners so long as they also expect ] the government to fix the price.r yy,hy l should they take any risk of carrying s Ia large reserve stock under such cun : ditions. Naturally they prefer that f the producer shall hold the crop or sell I 1t at such decline that they the spin : ,tner, might be willing to take the risk
