HUBBARD BROS LETTER

NEW YORK. July 17-(Special )- Private reports, indicating rains in Okla homa and showers in northwestern and northern Texas, brought heavy realizing this morning, causing a decline of some 40 points from last nights closing prices The publication of the governments s weather map showed, however that these showers had not extended down into cen tral Texas although it was raining in Palestine at O'clock this morning and the weather map looked as though the rains which had reached the northern belt would not extend down into the cen tral part of Texas. As a result early sellers covered, replacing their cotton and some trade price fixing had taken place during the day, there was a scarcity of contracts when buying orders made their appearance. Today's market is an excellent illustration of the sensitive con dition in which the market is in and shows how much will depend upon the receipt of rains in the central portion of Texas in the not distant future because temperatures continue high in that state
 There was little of interest in outside developments excepting the continued weakness in the wheat market where new lows for September wheat were again witnessed. If do not get rains in central Texas the market will do better; if do get rains some decline is to be expected. Futures in Liverpool are due tomorrow.

There are no new features in sight except the daily off cial weather and such infirmation from private sources as the recipients care to publish. All of our information points to good progress, rain would help in parts of Texas and Oklahoma if followed by clear warm weather but rain Is not vi tally needed immediately except in a few localities. The fact that the following month to six weeks is the critical period for the crop will hold selling in check and we advocate buying on good setba c5s for quick profits.-DOREMUS, DANIEI, & co.
