HuBBARD's LETTER

NEW YORK. Oct. Special )-Con- tinued bad weather in the western belt caused the Liverpool market to be some 60 American ponts higher than expected this morning Even in spite of our ad- vance of Saturday our market responded greater part Of the session. On the whole this selling has been very we'll absorbed, the market showing excellent underlying strength. Ordinarily, after the advance which fas taken place in the past three days, substantial reaction would be in order It is doubtful whether it takes place at this time because of the con- tinued bad weather in the western belt and the prospects of more. Reports from Oklahoma are of the most distressing character, indicating that serious floods have occurred. With due allowance for the usual exaggeration, which is only natural, 1t would seem nevertheless that the cotton open on the plants has been subject to most unfavorable weather when we consider that in many places in Oklahoma it has already rained over six inches in the last few days and it is still raining. Heavy rains have also fallen in central and northern Texas and the weather map indicates a continuation of rains during the next 24 hours
 The significance of this situation lies in the fact that the trade is looking to the western belt for a large portion of its needs, especially the better grades, and there will be practically no high grades picked from now on, leaving a very acute ter grades, which Is bound to be reflected in the Liverpool and New York contracts, which are high grade contracts.
 Futures in Liverpool are due tomorrow October, 16,92d January, 1614d-Hub- bard Bros. & Co.,

STEWART X CO.'S LETTER

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. I5.-Liver- pool quotations came over very encourag- ing this morning, futures were 30 points higher than due with light sales of 5000 bales at an advance of 40 points in their spot prices. Manchester cables stated business last week was unfavorable, but trade expectations are optimistic for near future. Our markets opened 55 to 70 higher than Saturdays close. due to the strength at Liverpool and private reports of heavy damaging rains in north Texas and Oklahoma running what there was of top crop. The trading for the day was mixed with the buying and selling fairly well balanced The demand came from speculative sources. while the south was a large seller against the actual cotton. Fluctuations were rather narrow, but prices ruled firm through the entire ses- sion today the finals showed a net ad- vance of so points, S4 per bale. Spots were generally active and followed the advance in futures. Texas continues heavy sellers of spots. having sold 40, 900 bales Saturday at points and like amount to- day at quotations ranging from 2S. 75c at Fort Worth to 29.35c at Houston. Sem timent is generally bullsh and the market looks purchase on reactions.-S. R. Stewart & Co.

TROLLEYMEN WANT 1920
 WAGE SCALE ADOPTED
Will Ask Connecticut Company to Co Rack tQ Old Rate When Present
 Contract Expires.

John Kenney, New Britain repre- sentative of the Hartford branch of the Trolleymen's Union, stated this morning that the motormen and con- ductors operating cars in this city will ask the Connecticut Co.,. for the scale of wages prevalent in 1920 and not for renewal of the 1921-22 scale when the terms of the present agree ment expire on March 1.
 The men at present arc receiving 47, 51 and 55 cents an hour with 10 cents additional if working on one man car. This scale of wages was effective on June 1, 1921. A scale of wages effective on June 1, 1920, gave the men 54, 57 and GO cents an hour with 15 cents additional if operating one man car.
 The 54 cents is for men in service one year, the 57 for men in service two years and the GO cents for men in service three years or longer.
 The trolleymen argue that since the last scale of wages was put into ef- feet more one-man cars have been out in operation and it requires more time and skill on their part to oper- ate these cars inasmuch as they must act as motorman and conductor Tat the same time.

MRS. ROCKEFELLER IS
 HEROINE IN BAD FIRE
Wraps Daughter in Blank cts and Carries Her to
 Street Safely

New York, Feb. 1.---Mfs. William G
 Rockefeller. widow Of the late finan- cier of Greenwich, Conn, and her daughter, Florence, were forced to flee in their night clothes to a nearby hotel when fire damaged three floors of their Madison avenue town house early today. Tire fire was discovered by q maid who aroused Mrs. Rocke- feller and her daughter and summon ed aid.
 The blaze caused considerable dam age before it was controlled partly through the work of a patrolman sum- moned by police whistle and vol unteer bucket brigade. Costly tapes- tries. paintings and art objects were endangered by the flames for a time. Mrs. Rockefeller and her daughter were alone in the house with three maids. After fleeing to the basement to escape the heavy smoke taxicab was called for them and they departed. scantily clad and barefooted, to the hotel.
 The damage was estimated at $10,- 900. Bremen believe the flames start ed from defective wiring.
 Mrs. Rockefeller and her daughter intend to leave within few weeks for their home in Greenwich.
 Mrs. Rockefeller dashed up to the room of her 15 year old daughter on the floor above, wrapped her in blankets and carried her down past burning closet to the street. Chippe, Miss Rockefeller's dog, trotted after them.

PRISONERS TRY ESCAPE
Two ColOrcd Conyicts at New London Attack Turnkey, Who Is Saved By Aid of Another Prisoner.

New London, Feb. 1.-Paul Bick- ford and Joseph Young, negro pris- oners at New London county jail here, made desperate attempt to break out late yesterday after Young had hidden behind door in the old jail section, Bickford was deliberately im- pertinent to Turnkey Gilbert and fled into the old jail with the turnkey in pursuit. Both prisoners attacked Gil- bert in an endeavor to get his keys and might have succeeded if Herbert Pot ter, negro. had not come to the res- cue of the turnkey, who was badly beaten.
 Bickford was waiting to be taken to Cheshire reformatory to serve a term for automobile theft and Young was held for trial on charge of sell ing drugs to local negroes. Potter was Bickfords accomplice in the auto mobile theft
