in sympathy with foreign decline, first
call reporting prices to 4 points lower
than previous close. Liquidation was on
a more liberal scale than for the past rev
days, which resulted in further decline OF
to 8 points from opening figures. August

prevailed in face of the fair selling move
ment. Weather reports are more favora-
BILE than for the past few days, which mas

Paine, Murphy & Co.'s Grain Letter
Birmingham, June 1.-Cables were higher,
and the bear crowd were a little uheasy,
especially in September, which had a large
short interest. Curb prices were cent up,
and the first trading in the pit showed adj
vances from 1 to IA cents per bushel.
Opening proved to be highest of the day.
continued crop news and the large worlds
movement, with Bradstreets increase, gave
renewed confidence to bears, and. fl esh
lines of shorts were put out, which were
assisted by liquidation by disappointed
bulls. This resulted In a feverish market,
but all tendency downward, decline OF 9
cents from opening, covering by shorts,
caused reaction to 95 but again became
weak, and in the last half hours trading
continued liquidation caught stop orders,
and wheat broke to 911s. and showed ony
a feeble rally. There is undoubtedly great
short interest accommodating, but here
seems to be no support. Corn again show
ed independence and advanced on clique
buying; the advance was held until closing
hour when a slight decline was scored.

ABOUT POLITICS
AND POLITICIANS

Mr.. s. NJ Gattis, member-elect from
Orange to the House was in Raleigh yes
terday for the first time since the cleo
ton. He is Il sensible and conservative
man and will make a safe legislator.
THE Legislature has most important
work to do" said Mr.. Gattis, 'and | be-
lieve the body has wisdom enough in it
to come up to the expectations of the
people. Every promise made in the cam
paign will be kept, no new offices will be
created, and economy will be observed
along all lines so that taxation can be
reduced"
Speaking of banner townships, Mr.
Gattis said that Orange was not making
any big claims. but that he believed Cha
pei Hill township made the biggest Demo
cratic gain of any township in the State
In 1896, it gave n Fusion majority of
300 whereas this year it had given Il
Democratic majority of about 100. This
was chiefly due to Populists who re-
turned to the Democratic party and white
Republicans who voted the Democratic
ticket.
