Stock Letter.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 1.-The stock market ruled very strong today and the prices had a good sharp advance on the general list. Sugar broke another rsc- ord, selling as high as 147. A careful es- tinpaiae this morning was that the maxi mum sugau was. probably 10000 shares in the street, and the minimum 25,000 shares. The rest of the stock has been taken away and the powerful interests which own it have been buyers for sev- eral days. The short interest has been materially reduced. The preferred stock is being sought after for investment. Jersey Central had an advance of 1h per cerlt to 92. The buying of the coalers is mostly by people identified with the coal properties, some of them high officials of the company. They are buyers for fn- vetmerdu now and to catch the boom which certainly must come in these stocks on inIcreatsing earnings.
 All the gas stocks were steady today. The twt:mty point advance i'm ConSofi- dated gas since Friday Is the tape corl- firnatfon of the reporaed consolidation. People who have good knowledge of lo- cal gas affairs say thait '1here Is from 30 to 40 points nBOre in It before the deal is conLsummated
 Among the grangers St. Paul was tthe most looked after. Part of the buying Of St. Paul was explained by the earnings for the fo1l.l'h w'e;k in July which proves to have been the barmer fourth week in July for St. Paul i'm it's history. The earn- ings show an increase of s92. 1S2, and for tlSa monJth of July an increase of $167,0Oo. Rock Island had a good share of the trade and n:corded a gain of % per cent. Rock Islands earnings for the month of July show am increase of SIPS, 794. The L. & N earnings which will be pulp lishcd Tomorrow are expected TO be very favorable. Tobacco was a strong feature today, selling from S7 to 90B. Tennessee Goal and From was more active today and made "a gain of B to 28. The close of the market was at a sharp reaction from high point on realizing.

New York Cotton Market.

New York, Aug. 4.-There was very lit- tie spec ulative activity in cotton futures today and prices were dominated al- most entirely by the operations of pro- fessional traders. rather better class of English advice's gave the market a steady undertone at the opening and prices advanced one to two points on local buying orders. Reports of light rains in several sections of Texas brought out considerable long cotton shortly af- ter the call which resulted in a loss of five to seven points. This selling move ment soon ran its course, however, and with favorable news from Fall River, buyers again took hold and the market regained the early loss by midday. New Orleans representatives were moderate sellers during the break. The market steadily improved throughout the after noon and finally ruled steady at a net ad- vance of two to five points, the gain be- ing chiefly in the late months.

BOTH HEAVILY IN DEBT.
Money side of the War Btween
Greece and Turkey.

From the Chicago Daily News.
Ordinarily it is supposed that the richest
nation is likely to be the most successful
in war, and for that reason the financial
condition of both Turkey and Greece be-
comes Of interest. Both of these nations
are heavily in debt and neither is pre-
pared for a war of any long duration. The
last published statement showed that
Greece had a stock of money amounting
to $50, 900 600 drachmas, or about $50, zoe 900
Of our money. OF this sum only about
100000 is in specie, the remainder being
inconvertible paper very much like our
"greenbacks' during our last war. The in
come of the kingdom from taxes, customs,
excise, stamps and other sources is about
500 100000 annually. The annual eXpendi-
lures Just about equal the receipts OF the
government. The public debt takes some
thing like 100000, and the army costs
50. 100000 The public debt Of Greece is
$f75.0O0.OO0. 3D..
The stock of money in the possession of
Turkey is 300 900 plasters, or a little
more than half as many dollars, a plaster
being equal to A cents Of our money.
Nearly one-haf of this sum is in gold. The
Turkish debt is something enormous, for
II is listed at S722 096, 795, without including
Sf60 100000 owing to Russia as war in
demnity, payable within 100 years without
interest. Inc revenues amount 70 ABOUT
ss5 900 $50 but the expenditures exceed the
receipts by more than $l0,009OO0 annually.
The sultan has an income of about $1,000
600 per year Financially Turkey Is worse
off than Greece, for considerable part
Of her income Is mortgaged to apply on
her foreign Indebtedness. II Is plain to be
seen that neither Of these countries Is In
a financial condition to carry on a war Of
any length, and the nation that makes the
best start is likely to be successful, unless
the powers step in and stop the contro-
versy. The fact IL that the powers are
more solicitous about the collection Of the
interest on the bonds THAI they hold than
20 see fair play between the contestants.
A long war would render both Turkey and
Greece powerless 20 pay their bonded in
debtedness and the foreign bondholder
would be the loser. This will bring the
bowers 20 some agreement quicker than
any question Of justice or right involved
IN the war.

DEBOE'S DAY OF FATE.
He Counts on Election To-day With
the Expiration of the Pairs.

the expiration OF the Pairs.
Frankfort, Ky, April 7.-The ballot for
senator to-day was again only a formal
affair by agreement each candidate re-
ceiving but one vote. The republicans
announce that all the pairs are out to-
morrow, and that they will have a full
attendance and will surely elect.
Nominee Deboe does not deny he wrote
letters to Populist Poor, when he was
candidate, eighteen months ago, and be-
fore the Hunter free silver pledges were
given to the populists. He denies, how
ever, that his letter, as now published,
can be construed as for free silver.
Judge Cantrill has indicated that he will
hear no argument on any motion to quash
or on demurrer against the indictments
against Hunter ct al, at this term of
court. The attorneys for the defense have
therefore about decided to make no effort
70 40 anything at all in the matter until
the September term of court.
me TWO political armies here are fight
ing tonight as before. The Blackburn
people, who see the prize slipping from
them and the election of Deboe almost GER
tain 70 occur tomorrow, are making des-
perate efforts to stave off the election.
ihey are following up the letters they pro
duced to-day touching the silver sympa-
I'Ales and proclivities of the new nominee
ana tonight have received an even more
|alpable free silver expression, said to
ave gone from Deboe to the populists
Ehen ne was candidate before and about
ne time the famous free silver pledges of
Hunter We're given.
DeDoe denies he pledged himself to sup
lort the cause of free silver, and while
Dme republicans think the new nominee
as even upon his own statement, gone
early as far as Hunter in his free silver
IMPRESSIONS, none of them seem to be dis
osed TO vote against him on this account,
