pnine. Murphy < Co.'S Grain Letter

Birmingham, October N.-Cables were about Ed. lower on the more peacetul out look in Europe advices claiming that the French had withdrawn from fashoda' which virtually means an end to the troup- le This news was reflected in the opening prices here, which was accompanied py good realizing, which carried prices half cent below the opening. The weather west continues cold and the northwest move mene is retarded, but still receipts are nn- eral and exports today were fifty loads, and kept prices steady at the decline. The ad- vance was too sudden, and as is usually the case when the exciting feature is elimi- mated, prices became steady and more le- gitimate. Northwestern was also weak from the same influences, and the declines of today do not change our opinion as to the ultimate outcome, and we look for still higher prices.

Paine, Murphy $ Co.'S stock Letter

Birmingham, October 21.-The market re- sponded somewhat to the cables that Gen. eral Marchand had been directed to retire from Fashoda. This was accepted as re- ievng the tension and probably ending the war-llke preparations. Consols advanced and Argentine houses had orders to buy. The Changers showed good advances con-l sidering the still professional and political market. In the Industrials Sugar showed early weakness, but was afterwards sup ported around Ill and advanced F per ce1t.,l while American Tobacco showed more evil dence of inside buying, advancing nearly per cent, and finally closing per cent. higher than yesterday. Metropolitan Is still subject to rumors, but upon raids the stock becomes scarce and advances follow. The political outlook is still mixed, and there are many friends of the opinion that the next house will be democratic. This has an influence upon the market under the belief that such victory will mean sil- yer legislation, especially for the new ter ritory gained by war. We are not political prophets, but we rather lean towards the reverse, and even if the result is demo- cratic. stocks are low and look like good Investments. a5i9a

In Wall Street.

New York October N.-The motor nerve of the worlds markets was touched today by the reported orders of the government of France to Major March1nd to retire from Fashoda. There was prompt re- covery in government securities in London and Paris and incorporate stocks at all foreign markets. For the same reason there was a weakening in the wheat mar kets of the world, including Liverpool, New York; Chicago and San Francisco. This checked yesterdays advance in the stock market. But when it became evident later In the day that there was good support in the wheat market from continued heavy demand for export, in spite of the sub sdence of the war scare, and of the con- tinued heavy receipts at the primary points there sprang up a demand for railroad stocks which showed itself more conhoent and urgent than anything that has been seen in the stock market for several weeks. Naturally the demand was most manifest for the stocks of grain-carrylng roads' Tine strength was manifest not only III the Granger group proper, but also on the Pacifos including Union and Atchlsoh. The absorption of the stock in the ate dealings was on very large scale.
 The movement of heinduStrial Speciall4Ss much less important than of late' lo- bacco advanced an extreme 5 points, put met heavy sales; Sugar was ralded below H. but met the resisting point and Man haitian, although it weakened early on pub- lished utterances tending to discredit re- ports of early electrical experiment, late rose over a point Sterling exchange ad- vanced further, in response to stiffness or foreign money markets, which the clearing of political prospects did not relieve, but the local money market continued easy. .lne gain of the New York banks in cash from the sub-treasury and by reason Of the marked decrease in the movement of cur rency to the interior is estimated to be not far from $10 100000 for the week. How far the reserve requirements have been eX- banded through enlarged deposits by req son of loans made on sterling exchange cannot be closely estimated, but it may run as high Sl5 5000,000.
 The bond market broadened and improved in the course of the day and shows gains generally. Total sales, $3,240,00O United Statets 2's registered advanced F in the bid price. Total sales of stocks today were 2l5 200 shares including Atchison preferred, 15,000 Burlington, 12,332; Manhattan, 17413; Metropolitan, 7S9; St Paul, 1T ,4i5; Union Pa- c.~c preferred, 9,171; Tobacco, 269S5; Sugar, 42,910

This announcement, coming out on Wednesday when the market seemed likely to react under the taking of profits by traders, kept up the excitement, while 1t resulted in deal- ings to the extent of 9OO,OO0 shares, one of the largest days the exchange has had in some time. On Thursday, however, there was more CT less of reaction, profits being taken freely, while at the declines there was fair account of fresh buying. On Friday the market tended to recover still further Shorts covered, and the close was in many cases at or near the highest level of the movement.
 The market Is certainly broader one than for some time past. Commission house buying has been the feature.

RRADsTREETos REVIEW

New York, Aug. 19.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 It is with an air of confidence that the mercantile community awaits the approach of the fall trade period. The flattering crop outlook at home and the return of peace with the expectation of benefits to our export trade naturally to accrue there from, make so much of the feeling was thus expressed The reflection of the growth of fall trade Is found in the steady expansion now going on in bank c.earings, the improved demand at higher prices for most makes of iron and steel. the general ly favorable railway earnings which, in default of a large movement of crops to market, point to a large return trade In manufactured goods to the agricultural sections and the reports of continued ac- tivity in distributive trade west and south An immense business Is doing in iron and steel products at advanced prices. There is a decrease in the crude iron product. Advances in many grades of iron, notaply Bessemer and southern pig, are features of the week, as are also higher quotations for steel billets at nearly all markets, wire rods and a great many classes of finished iron and steel, particularly structural ma terial At the west iron and steel Is par ticularly active and the large number cf orders already booked make manufacturers favor an advance in future business. The situation in cereals shows but little
  home and abroad and the prediction of yield this year nearly equal if not exceed ing that grown year ago, while natural- ly stimulating to business at the south. has depressing effect upon the price of the raw staple and quotations are a frac- tion lower for the week and cents a pound lower than a year ago at this time
 Reports as to collections are very en- couraging.
 Business failures were 195 against 221 last last year.
 Increase in Buyers
 Buyers are appearing in increasing num- bers at the leading western markets Chi cago reports unusual activity in distribu- tive trade on country demand with bry goods shipments especially large. Sales of iron and steel are restricted by inability to deliver. The short pack of canned salmon and advanced prices. Advances in struc- tural iron are a feature and tin plate and sheet mills are behind on orders. Southern and western buyers arriving at St. Louis and dry goods, boots and shoes, hats and caps are all active. Kansas City, St. Paul, Omaha and Minneapolis report &C., tive trade. Bad roads still restrict business at New Orleans, but large fall business is expected. At Memphis the outlok Is for the heaviest business In the history of the city, but damage by cotton worms in Texas affects the trade at Galveston.
 In the South Atlantic cities reports are of a perceptible improvement in trade
 At Boston and New York a moderate inn provement Is noted.
