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

supply and does not wish to remit
large sums of . gold to this side on
arbitrage operations between the
two markets. 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

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.
