Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, January 92.-(Special) The market this morning was higher for time on buying based on the lower freight rates from the same buyers as yesterday. No trade de- mand whatever appeared@and heavy selling from the south and From Liver pool caused first q decline and then a demoralization so that the decline was nearly as violent as yesterdays s advance. These wide fluctuations rep resent the attempt of the market at high prices to adjust itself to the new level, and while they are more violent than was formerly the case at dover levels, they arise from much the same cause. We believe that the market is likely to quiet down while the trade takes fresh view of the whole situaA tion. Exports should be stimulated both by the lower prices and by the lower freight rate. but on the other hand out news is so unsettling that we do not believe that at this time a bull speculation in cotton over 20c a pound can be revived The labor dis turbances in Great Britain and to a lesser extent in this country are too widespread not to affect settlement
