HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'S LETTER


 NEW YORK. Sept. 21.-(Special.)- Clearing weather in the western belt brought a somewhat lower market in Liverpool this morning with the result that our market declined in sympathy. It was also rumored that well known private crop bureau was about to issue besrish report. This caused some scat tered liquidation, but the contracts were well taken, the market being quiet and dull during the greater part of the ses- sion. X fair spot demand was reported from the east and our private advices from Liverpool indicate that while the yarn market in Manchester is quiet at the moment, there is good inquiry for cloth. There has been apparently little fixing of the cotton which has been sold on call which Is the underlying strength of the market, the strength of which is difficult to estimate. We do not think that with the large amount of spot cot ton to be brought in against sales pre- viousy made that the market will be subject to any very severe pressure and therefore do not expect any decline of moment; ill fact, believe that we will gradually move to higher level. Flu lures in Liverpool are due tomorrow: Oc- tober 16, ,S6d; January, 15.64d.

BEARS CONVENED
 WITH UNCOYERENG FEW WEAK SPOTS

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Consider- able irregularity developed in todays stocb market session with the aver ages showing little change on the day. Professional spectators for the de- cline apparently attempted to de- press the general list into new low ground on the theory that the breaking of the previous resistance levels would bring out considerable liquidation. but good support was Encountered and the bears contented themselves with uncovering isolated weak spots.
 Some of the eastern rails and most of the new low priced oils made good recovery from recent heaviness, the strength of these issues leading to short coverings in other sections of the list in the Late dealings. The Stronger tone of the oil stocks was gratifying to operators on the long side in view of the additional cuts in crude prices and the omission of Fhe Cosden dividend, which was not Officially voted until after the mar Set closed The action that the di- f rectors would take was generally known, however, earlier in the day.
 Rumors of early dividend action by the directors of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad led to a good demand for that stock which closed two points higher at 51 and brought about sympathetic strength in some of the other carrier issues. The stocks also were helped by unofficial reports that the Washington adtninIstrat tion fa- yors recasting of freight schedules so that some rates will be reduced and others advanced rather than merely 8 reduction in the tariffs on agricul- tural products.
 intermittent hsaviness of the steel shares was based on reports of re- duced mill operations but they snowed good recuDerative power to- wards the close. Amerio Il woolen dipped to 76 1-4 another new low for 1he year, and then rallied to 77 5-S on publication of the statement by President Wood that no reduction in the dividend was contemplated and that the industry was in splendid shape.
 Sugars continued to benefit by the higher commodity prices, Cuba Cane preferred and PUnta Alegre each gaining more than one point. Ameri- can lost nearly 9 points on a small turnover Coppers held fairly steady on speculative expectation that the Japanese disaster and the settlement of the separations ques- tions are likely to bring an increa sed export demand for the Red metal. call money opened at 1 per cent, - hut Stttfened to berore the close. ftEime money was firm at 5K@51z '-F'er cent, depending upon maturity. Commercial paper is fairly active with no change in rates.
 The feature of the foreign exchange market was the strength of the al- lied continental exchanges. French francs were run up to II points to 600 cents and Belgian francs jumped 16 points to 5.10 cents. Demand sterling held fairly steady around $454 1-4. German marks dropped Is points to 75 cents a hundred million

DUN's REVIEW

NEW lOINhl otFt. AI'-~DuH lUIHUIIuW
 will say:
 Progress toward increased business as
 the fall season opens is decidedly uneven,
 sharp contrasts appearing in different quarters. There is naturally more ac-
 tivity now than prevailed in mid-sum-
 mer, but gains develop slowly in various instances and irregularty of prices is q conspicuous phase. With 31 advances and 35 declines, Dun's list of wholesale quo- tations reflects the cratic course of ths portant lines is more clearly in buyers favor and there is more competition for orders. While current transactions are heavy in the aggregate new demands in some chanels are restricted becaus re- quirements were largely covered ahead dur | ing the noteworthy commercial revival of earlier months this year. Deliveries on these contracts are meeting the immedi- ate needs of consumers in many cases, and there is not the same incentive for active purchasing with depleted supplies of goods replenished.
