HUBBARD BROS. LETTER

NEW YORK. March L. tSpecial) )-The Liverpool market was slightly better than due at our opening and the steadier cables influenced our market. putting May over 31e. Wall street and commission houses were good buyers. while Liverpool. wire houses and south sold. Dry goods houses in the Worth street district con tnued to do steady business. while seat tered New England mill opinions con tinued more or less bearish. The late scattered buying from Wall street and commission houses caused the market to close very near the high for the day. The consensus of opinion Is that mills are cover up to and including July. Whether mills are amply covered by actual staple is q question whether 1t is on orders to shippers with the shippers still short of the cotton. There is some disposition 10 take profits good upturns there, however seems to be little pressure. Nevertheless these prices are extremely high and we advise caution.
 Futures in Liverpool due tomorrow. May l6.25, July 15.94.-Hubbard Bros. Go.

WHEAT IS QUIET, WHILE TRADE IS AWAITING REPORT

CHICAGO. March 7.-Wheat made the unique record today of closing steady and unchanged from yester- days close, May SLICK @1.1S%; July, sl.l41s @ 1.14A and Se2tember s1.12H. The unusual standstill in values resulted from the fac. that a majority of traders were in a quan- diary as to what was likely to be shown by the government report to- morrow on farm reserves. Corn closed al A decline to shade ad- vance, oats ..c off to Ac gain, and provisions showing cents to 12 cents advance.
 At the outset the wheat market had a slight downward tendency, ow- Ing to lower quotations at Liverpool, which in turn were ascribed to in creased offerings from Argentine. On the declines here, however, specula- : tors took to the buying side, and were able to force a moderate ad- vance. Then the advance tempted selling by commission houses, and the upturn was lost.
 Falling off to the amount of 6,o00,- 900 bushels in the estimated total of wheat held on farms in Kansas as compared with year ago formed the gist of the unofficial report. which gave the wheat market noticeable transient strength today. Zero tenn perature in some parts of the south west also was bullish factor. On the other hand, primary receipts again were of liberal volume. and there was continued dearth of any important export demand.
 Corn and oats virtually duplicated the action of wheat.
 In the provision market, liberal shipments of lard and meats more than counterbalanced weakness Of hog values.
