Paine, Murphy & Co.'S Grain Letter

Birmingham, July u.-Weak cables were the features, coupled with better reports from the western sections regarding the yield. Livrpool came 1ac lower, with later cables showing further decline, netting Id decline on the day. This caused sentiment to become bearish, but was partially offset by the decrease of 21S5,00 in the visible
 which reduced the total to 12,500000 bushels The market Is a waiting one with general feeling that the government report will be bearish. This has caused an cratic mar ket all day Admitting the report to be bearish, we feel that the covering by the large short interest will advance prices somewhat. Final prices were about 1ac under Saturdays closing. Corn was in- clined to weakness, while provisions lost the arly advance and looks lower

 Birmingham, Ala. July u.-There was no change in Liverpool prices; sales 1000; the market dull. The opening here showed some little covering and prices were ad- vanced 1 to points, but upon the receipt of the government report. which showed 91.2 against s6. July, 1897, and 92.5 in 1Sa6. This report was fully as liberal as expected. and as the conditions since July 1 have been exceedingly favorable We interpreted it as meaning lower prices and over a 10000 900 bale crop. Later on the usual drought scares will probably be promulgated. but we would use all such spurts for selling purposes. The August option will. probably be rung up at about 59O There was some activity in the closing hour by later weather reports and prices closed at the best of the day. Sales, 45,7oo.

A NEAT TRAP
spAniardS Set It Well, But sprAng Is too
soon-BaIted for Our WarshIps,

spAniardS Set It Well, But sprang Is too
sOOn-BaItsd for Our warshlps.
KEY WEST, Fla, May 10. Only poor
craftsmanship on the part of the Span
ish gunners saved the Vicksburg and
the cutter Morrill, from destruction off
Havana yesterday morning For over
half an hour they wers under the fire
of the guns of the Santa Clara water
batteries, but both escaped without
serious injury, although shrapnel
from eight-inch guns exploded all
about them, and both now show the
pitted scars of the Spanish bullets.
The willy Spaniards had arranged a
trap to send couple of our ships to
the bottom They baited it as a man
would bait trap A small schooner
was sent out from Havana harbor
shortly before daylight to draw some
of the Americans into the ambuscade.
The ruse worked like charm. The
Vicksburg and the Morrill,, in the
heat of the chase and in their con-
tempt for Spanish gunnery, walked
straight into the trap that had been
set for them Had the Spaniards pos
sessed their souls in patience but five
minutes longer, not even the bad gun
practice would have saved our ships.
But the officers of both the Morrill,
and Vicksburg frankly admit their
own recklessness and the narrow es-
cape of their vessels from destruction.
They are firmly convinced that the
pursuit of the schooner was a neatly
planned trick, which almost proved
successful
If any one of the shots had struck
the thin skin of either vessel, it would
have offered no more resistance than
a piece of paper to rifle ball

HIS ADVICE TO AMERICA
A Blockade of the island Held to BE
Sufficient to Make the Insurgents
VIotOrIOuS-It Is Also Request
cd That French and italian
Ships 30 barred From
Cuba

KEY WEST, May 1O.-Thearrivallast
night of Mr.. Summerford, the New
York Herald's correspondent, who
was with Gomez since the week fol-
lowing the blowing up the Maine, has
caused everything to be made clear
regarding the situation on the island,
from an insurgent standpoint. The
conclusions drawn from Mr.. Summer
lords observations are:
First-The condition of the recon-
centrados since the United States sup
plies have been cut off is unspeakably
bad. They are dying in greater num-
bers than ever before from actual
starvation. This mortality will in
crease so long as relief is not forth
coming from the United States
Second-The most of Gomezs COM
mand continues to be inactive, wait
ing for Spain to yield up the island.
Third-It is not the idea of insur-
gents to join with the United States
troops and give the Spaniards open
battle, driving them out. General
Gomez does not seem anxious to have
United States troops landed. He be-
lieves all that is necessary is for the
United States to blockade only Span
ish ports, stop French and Italian
ships as we'll as Spanish ships from
going into Cuban ports, and send him
arms, munitions and supplies, so that
he can continue to harass the Spanish
outposts. He believes this will re-
suit in SPANS yielding in few
months. Mr.. Summerford, on the
other hand, believes it is necessary
for the United States to land troops
in Cuba.
Fourth-Gomez is sorely in need Of
arms and supplies. His men are far
ing we'll SO far as fare goes in Cuba,
but they are now on one ration day.
Gomez is about sixty miles inland in
the eastern end of the island.
Mr. Summerford came with Colonel
Juan iowa, one of the officers of the
Cuban republic, who brought sealed
messages from Gomez to Admiral
Sampson regarding arms and sup
plies. The hope is that the United
States government will simply flood
Cuba with rifles and ammunition and
food for the insurgents and recon-
centrados.
