HUBBARD BROS. CO.'S LETTER
 NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-LiverpooI was slightly better than expected this morn ing and our market showed a sharp ad-, vance as the result of heavy rains throughout the western belt and sharp advance in the basis in Texas. These rains in the west are very unsatisfactory, they are affecting the grades of the cotton which is open on the stalk and naturally causing much uneasiness among those who desire to buy the better grades. Heavy covering by those who had sold in anticipation of a decline on the early movement made it's appearance, carrying the market into new high level ls.' As long the basis in Texas holds and the weather continues unfayorable higher market can be expected. Natur- ally at these prices. due caution must be observed regarding the market. The sit uation certainly has no signs of weakness a the present time.
