New York, January 14.-Trading in the two-hour session of today's stock market was more active and em- braced a greater variety of issues than at eny full period of the week Gains Of one to almost points wei e mace by numerous issues. compris- ins the leading industriais and spe- ciait:es. but advances among rails were confined to a few transconti- nentals, grangers and cotton car riers.
 From surface indications much of inc large turnover reported short covering, but observers noted sub stant.al buying of motors and access sories, as well as metals, oils, chem 1cals and speeialties. Among the latter were Cola-Cola and Wilson & Co.

OVER PRIVATE WIRES
HuBBARD's LETTER

New York, January 14.-(Special) The consumption figures issued by the government this morning were more bullish than anticipated, caus- ing our market to open 12 to 10 points over last nights close. It IS very interesting to note the steadily increasing consumption, and it is recognized fact that the world is steadily inreasing consumption, and that this should offer encouragement to the trade in general. Neverthe- less, the mills still persist in waiting for lower prices. because of their inability to sell any goods forward. How long this will keep up we do rot know, but there wil come time when it will be urgent for the mills to enter the market heavily on the buying side. but until such time the market will probably remain easy with q tendency to decline.-Hub- bard Bros. & Co.
