HUBBARD's LETTER

NEW YORK, August 11.--No rains In Texas yesterday and predictions for fair weather over Sunday, brought buying from Liverpool. and this induced covering by those who had sold on Thursday on the idea that there were prospects of showers In Texas. The trade failed to buy much cotton on this advance. Reports from the south indicate that there Is very poor demand for spot cotton, which. to- gether with the unsatisfactory political situation in Germany, Hre naturally un- favorable conditions. On the other hand, the belief la rapidly spreading that the crop will be extremely small this year, so that many believe that regardless of out side conditions higher prices must follow. It should not be forgotten, however, that the heat in Texas had caused premature future, Whether the market will be able to absorb this remains to be seen.-Hubbard I5rOs. X. Co

CHICAGO, August 11.-With esti- mates current that the Canadian yield of wheat this season would fail to total more than 325,O0o,0Oo bush els, notwithstanding a previous fore cast of 5OO,000,00o bushels, the wheat market today reached the highest price level in several weeks. Clos ing quotations were firm at $ to ts C net gain, September 993 G99 4 c, and December 103ss. Corn finished at E e 5s c off to a shade advance; oats unchanged to a shade higher, and provisions varying from unchanged figures to a rise of 10 cents.
 Unfavorable weather delaying the Canadian harvest and increasing the likelihood of damage to late wheat, gave an upward swing 10 the wheat market as soon as trading began. Besides, domestic winter wheat threshing was being delayed by relns, country offerings were light and the amount of hedging selling iil; here was small. After the initial bulge in prices. however, profit talk ing on the part Of former buyers led to a temporary reaction. Bears meanwhile put stress on absence Of export demand as well as on asser- tions that Italy and France were selling back wheat bought in the United States and that it was diff cult to obtain cash on wheat pur- chased for shipment to Germany.
 Announcement of the 325,000, 900 bushels estimate of the 1923 Cana dian wheat crop came shortly before the close of business here and was largely responsible for lifting wheat values to the days top figures. The new Canadian estimate was unofH- clal, but was said to be from very trustworthy source, and was made public here ny one of tns foremost houses on change.
 Most hot weather, ideal for pre- noting corn growth made the corn market easy, but prices for oats were firm as a result of rain dam age to oats in shock.
 Provisions reflected steadiness Of hog values.

STTWART'S LETTER

BIRMINGHAM, August 11.-Cotton ad- vanced 100 points or s5 a bale during the short session today, due mostly to heavy short covering and some fresh buying of the best character on continued unfavor- able weather over the entire belt, better Liverpool yesterday and better tons in the stock market today. The Initial prices wore 20 points above Thursdays close Tn sympathy with the strong Liverpool yes terday and the absence of showers south west, also showery conditions in the east ern belt, After the early demand became satisfied prices eased off about 16 points from the early highs and held steady. and when the weather map confirming lFck of rain in Texas was issued thls scared the shorts and stimulated fresh buying, the market advancing to new highs and clos ing at the top and 100 points up. Spots were quiet, but generally followed the nd vance in futures There an improve ment noted at Fall River and in Worth street, Spinners' taknEs were e6, 900 against 72000 last week and 226,0o0 Inst year, Exports were 32,330 against S7.S00 last year. National Gnners places the mid month condition at 62.2 against 70 6 July 25 and July consumption at 442. against 459.000 last year, The weather forecast for the entire belt over Sunday was gen erally fair. Cotton continues to be a weather affair and prices will be gov erned accordingly, Too much rain and weevil damage in the central and eastern belt, too hot and dry and shedding west. Unless these conditions improve quickly higher prices will be seen. Liverpool is due S4 points up on October Monday morn tuE,-S. R, Stewart & Co.

Cloth Values Strong, But Demand Is Light

NEW YORK, August 11.-(By AS sociated Press. )-Firmer cotton mar kets have tended to strengthen cIoth values in primary markets, but the general demand is still light and mills are increasing the volume or curtailed operations. In some cot ton manufacturing centers, fully 4O per cent of the mills are running short time. Jobbers are making very fair progress in distributing goods for fall on past orders, while inn mediate buying is of a conservative character. Colored goods for Work shirts and suits have been reduced from to 21ac a yard. There mas been an active demand for mourning fabrics for decorative purposes Tn first and second hands. Ginghams and percales have ruled quiet. Combed yarn goods are inactive for future delivery but fine wash goods distribution has been steady. Nov cities in cotton goods for spring or 1924 include many crepes, ratlne weayes, and novelty yarn specialtles. Export demand is light. Pricesi quoted In primary markets are as follows:
