Hubbard Bros.' Letter

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Cables were again lower than que tnis morning and private advices stated that the market was nervous and uneasy, with the mills showing considerable uneasiness over the Turkish situation. result our mar ket again opened on decline and sold down to the, 27 + cent level for March where trade buying stopped the decline. recovery took place around noon on the statement that the British had accepted the American governments conditions re- garding the rate of interest on the Brit fsh debt to this country. This advance did not hold however, as fresh liauida- tion again made it's appearance-ail the improvement being lost
 The market acts tired, and unless some fresh stimulant makes it's appearance we doubt if present levels will be maintained especially as the southwest reports a fall ing off in the spot demands.

EXPECTED LARGE WHEAT EXPORTS CAUSE 4 SETBACK

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-(By Associated Press. )-Expected large shipments to Europe from Argentine and other competing countries had a good deal to do today with bringing ab ut setback here in the price of wheat Closing quotations were unsettled h to 1kc net lower, with May l.l6Hs to 1.17 and July 1.117s to liz. Cor . finished unchanged to Ac higher oats at Ac decline to 1s O Ac ad- vance, provisions were unchanged.
 Lower quotations at Liverpool gave particular emphasis to reports of prospective heavy world ship ments of wheat and to assertions that Argentina especially was offer- ing wheat much cheaper than the United States. Besides, the decline at Liverpool was directly in the face of material advance here yes- terday. With no signs apparent of export business, and with rains in most of the domestic winter crop belt. commission houses were free sellers, and the market fell to the lowest level of the day before.
 Something of a recovery which took place in wheat values during the afternoon appeared to be due chiefly to closing out of spreads. British acceptance of the tentative terms of the United States regarding her payment of war debts inspired little more confidence on the bull side. Upturns in price, however, failed to hold well at the finish.
 Scantiness of receipts here and continued need of rain in Argentina gave strength to the corn market. Oats followed corn.
 Slackening of export demand off set in the provision market the eff feet of higher quotations on hogs.

FIREMAN KILLED WHEN
 MILL BOILER EXPLODES
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD Moulton, Ala, Jan. 3l i

At the Steadman sawmill about five miles northwest of Moulton late Monday afternoon, the boiler burst and instantly killed Jonathan Stead man, the fireman. There were at the time two full guages of water in the boiler and steam freely escaping made it difficult to determine the cause of the explosion. Steadman and his brother were near the en- zine and as they lodged to escape the flying parts, Steadman was struck in the back of the head, death instantly resulting. For 20 years MT. Steadman had fired an engine more or less frequently and was con- sidered very cautious fireman. He is survived by his wife and several small children.

LATE RALLY MET NEW OFFERINGS IN|
 COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-(By Asso- ciated ss.)-Rallies from an early decline met increased offerings in the cotton market late today which sent May contracts off from 2sc to 27.4Sc, or 57 points net lower. May closed 27.5Sc, with the general market clos ing easy, 58 points net lower on all l months except September, which was off 75 points.
 The market opened barely steady IS to 30 points lower in response to relatively easy Liverpool cables, re- ports of less active demand for cot ton goods in Manchester unsettled foreign exchange rates and nervous ness over foreign political affairs. There was some irregularity right after the call, but few buying or | ders were supplied on very slight l bulges, and the market soon showed | net losses of about S6 to AS points. Buying on scaled down orders, att | tributed partly to the trade, seemed | to become more active around or be- low 27.75c for May. and the market | firmed up on reports that the British government would agree to the An glo-Amcrica debt funding proposals. Reports of turn for the better in
 
 tor on the rally which carried March
 up tC 27.77c, July to 27. soc and Octo- | Der to 25.S6c, CT within to IS points of yesterdays closing quotations. De- mand soon tapered off, however,
 which was probably disappointment /, to early buyers, and the market weak ened again during the afternoon with ! the selling more active and general.
 March broke to 27 39c, July to 27.1Sc
 and October to 24. 95c, last prices be-
 ing the lowest of the day on old crop l positions, but showing rally of , | points on October.
 l Reports of further good rains in the south were considered a factor on the
 decline but new crop deliveries were | relatively steady on covering. Pri-
 vate cables reporting less favorable advices from Manchester as a factor
 tn the Liverpool weakness were part
 ly confirmed by the official cable l stating that yarns were quiet and | cloths quieter. Liverpool also re- ported southern hedge selling, and some southern selling was reported 1 here. Exports today, 44,5S2, making | 3,303,526 so far this season. Port re-

NEW YORK, Jan.

The opening was to points higher and active months sold to IS points above yesterdays closing figures. The close was within a point or two of the best showing a net advance of to 12 points. Estimated sales. 33,000 bags, in cluding exchanges. March, 11.13c; May, 10.62c; July. 10.07c; September, 9.37c De- cember, 9.06c.
