Paine. Murphy 8 Co.'s stock letter.

Birmingham, Ala, June 24..The fancies
overshadowed the regular list today, and
the former class, under the lead Of To-
bacco and Brooklyn Rapid Transit made
advances of 1 to 2 per cent. Sugar was
erratlc and at times weak, but, sized up for
the day. shows good strength. Western
Union fulfilled our prediction of yesterday,
selling at IS. The street is at present very
friendly to this stock in addition to the
belief that the old Baltimore and Ohio hold
ings have passed into strong hands, and
the earnings are increasing greatly owing
to the war press work, and parity Is pre-
dicted by its friends. IN the regular list
the Klondikes were leaders, Northern Pa
cific preferred advancing over 1 per cent.
We have been and still are particularly
friendly to this elias sof securities. war
cables say that Skaters troops are near
Santiago and Spanish outposts are retreat
ing. A decisive victory on the first engage
ment will have great beneficial effect on
stocks.

The rise in Spanish Is today was due to

peis the stamping of bonds prior to the Goth

Paine. Murphy 8 Co.'s Grain Letter

Birmingham, Ala. June A.-Cables were
unchanged, and although closing Liverpool
showed slight advances. The market mere
was extremely narrow. The only support
was some little covering by shorts. Har-
yesting is proceeding satisfactorily and all
reports are far above government est1m-
ates. 1t looks certain that the new crop OF
winter and spring wheat will be over loo,
900 900 bushels. The only bull argument Is
the large short interest and the northwest
demand for cash wheat. This may cause
some covering in futures and an advance OF
a few cents, but the consensus OF opinion
in the nit fayors much lower prices. The
closing was weak at near the lowest figure,
or IL below yesterday. Corn was dull with
little doing and inclined to weakness, de-
clining &c on the day. while provisions
showed strength and closed unchanged.

New York, June 2i.-The stock market
was irregular most of the day, the result of
the trading showing gains of slight frac-
tions In most issues, but with several adj
vanees of point or more in some securi-
ties which occupied a conspicuous position
In the days trading, notably Tobacco,
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and the Northern
Pacific shares. There was some covering
of shorts early and little more outside
Suylng on the assurances given in Washing
on regarding Germany's attitude In the
Philippines. Then there was some anticipa-
ion that Santiago might capitulate in time
Ior the market to be supported by the
Heavy July disbursements. Rumors of an
,arly settlement of the trans-continental
var were again responsible for the strength
the North Paciics, which were moder-
,tely supplied by London. The absorption
recently by a syndicate of Baltimore and
Ohio holdings of Western Union, which re-
moved the fear of these large holdings be-
ing thrown ON the market was used as a
lever in raising that stock but there was
realizing on the advance causing the stock
to Stag off. The increase in the Milwaukee's
weekly earnings. the first since October, is
accounted for the sluggishness in the
grangers. Brooklyn Rapid Transit mainte-
nance of traffic gains, although now facing
new competition, gave strength to that
stock. A movement against the shorts in
Tobacco brought about a sharp advance
In that speciality. Peoples Gas showed only
important fractional decline, although
under pressure nearly all day. Syndicate
interests bought Baltimore and Ohio stocks
and bonds which were thrown on the mar
ket by small holders unprepared to pay the
assessment under the reorganization. The
stock broke badly at the outset, but subse-
ouently recovered most of the loss. T,he
bonds on the Their and, showed oonsI lei
Gus strength throughout the day.
Bonds displayed little feature today, but
exhibited a very firm undertone, although
there was a cessation of marked activity
in some ens which have recently posed as
leaders. Sales were s2,450000.
Bid quotations in governments were -un-
