Paine, Murphy 6 Co.'s Stock Letter

By Private Wire to Paine, Murphy & Co.,
 Birmingham, December 30.-As predicted in these columns the last days trading of 1898 showed about the best record of the year. A great many securities paid divi- dends and showed sales at ex-dividend prices. but in most instances total recover ies of the dividend was chronicled. The Changers continued to lead the market, with Steel securities and Sugar next in prominence. In the former case the final agreements have been made and all iron, steel and wire trusts have been amalgamat- ed. Sugar was strong on covering of the shorts. The Flower stocks under the lead of Brooklyn were prominent. The closing month shows the largest volume of business on record, the greatest credit balance since the country has existed. All this is a pre- Jude to happy New eYar and undoubtedly a prosperous one.

Later cables were higher, March options closing Id higher. The buying of an unusual good character and export en- agreements were liberal. The course of the market was upward, with a net advance of % until noon hour, when some selling against calls caused a reaction, but later trading favored higher prices and the final showed net advance of over cent a bushel.
 Corn was sympathetically strong, but later the offerings were very liberal and a reaction followed The closing was frac- tionally better than yesterday. Indications point to higher prices.

New York, December 30.-Stocks rose con- tinuously today with none of the customary reactions and left off strong at fractional gains in the standard railway shares and at very material gains in various specialties that were prominent in the days transac- tions The London market where the fort opened way upon purchases, partly for American account. There was also genu- inc buying for foreign account owing to the disinclination of trade operators to await possible January boom and Amer ican rails closed at about the best.
 The initial rise locally was not quite up to the London figures, but trading was &C., tive and broad. Commission houses buy ing overcame realizing sales. Industrials were particularly strong and Rock Island led the Grangers upward. Public interest increased as the day wore on and prices were generally lifted Sugar, Federal Steela Reading and Jersey Central surged upward although, sugar and Jersey Central subse- quently eased off. Gas showed heaviness and lost point, the rumored deal of yes- terday being denied. The belief that next year will witness more harmonious arr engagement in the anthracite trade was largely respons: be for the rise in Reading and other hard cola carrying roads. Con tinued favorable railroad and trade reports and prospective easy money stimulated the trading.
 The bond market shook off it's late hesi- tancy and coursed upward with particular ly large purchases of Reading 4s which touched S9. The total sales were S5,455O,0O

 Birmingham, December 30.-The close of the year found Liverpool inclined to even up contracts and futures eased off, closing about # down. The spot sales were more liberal, 12000 bales, at unchanged prices. The feeling here continues bullish but the local crowd realized recent purchases to- day and the market declined about 3 points from yesterdays prices. Port receipts, 50- 900 against 66,O00 last year. The general opinion is that the crop will not exceed last years. We still advise purchasing on any declines next week.
