JLWU HUBBARD BROTHERS ON v THE COTTON CROP Weil-Known Firm Give* Opinion on the Market With Present Outlook of Crop. Fallowing is Hubbard Bros, cotton letter for last week: It became apparent after the Bureau report was published last week, from a technical outlook that several of the leading operators on the . long side had disposed of their holdings on the advance, taking their profits. While expressing decidedly bullish opinions for sometime in the more or less distant future, they thought it was best to liquidate before they were called upon to absorb the offerings of cotton from the plantations. The buyers of their holdings were, in many instances, spinners and the remainder were those who came in to buy cotton at the highest price in the lifetime of two generations. As anticipated the South has rushed to take advantage of prevailing high prices and merchants in the South finding no demand from exporters or from spinners who hold more cotton in stock and contracts here and in New Orleans than ever before, have hedged the cotton taken from the planters by sales in ?these two markets, bringing about a decline, as a natural result, of 135 points from the extreme high point for January after the Bureau report i to the low point of today. * Our local traders who are very bullish have bought and advised the outside public to buy on the decline, so they today brought about a reaction of 25 points from the bottom. The trade are as bullish as ever, they hold the present decline is a natural reaction after a long continued advance of seven months, so ' that they expect higher prices next week. It is noticeable that there are no bearish traders of prominence in' the market, this in itself, is signifi cant of the attitude of tne cotton | trade as a whole. Today the Gin-' nere' report of 850,000 bales in August, while exceeding expectations, was acepted as indicating a rush of / cotton from a short crop and not as indicative of any error on the part of the Government in having underv estimated either the acreage or the yield. Texas has ginned 522,000 bales against 655,000 bales in 1913, 674,000 bales in 1912, 557,000 bales in 1911, so that states does not appear to have ginned as much as usual. The increase is in the other States especially Georgia, which reports 213,000 bales against 133,408 in 1915, 13&.235 in 1914, 72,352 in i 1913. There has been much discusion about the possible closing of the Liverpool Cotton Exchange by the English Government. We do not for one moment, believe this will be done, but we can, from a bankers J * ?n/?OT?ofQTlH whv sianapunib, qui?

We can also understand why, for taxing purposes, England would wish to keep the import business of cotton into Liverpool in the hands of Englishmen, because they can. tax their profits * ' " u X i.sUUo wnne tney cuuiu nut mc j/iuuh of Americans. So far as the weather is a factor in the development of the/crop, it has been favorable this week for an increase in the yield. Hubbard Bros. & Co. McCORMICK.
