Paine, Murphy & Co.'s Grain Letter

Birmingham, Ala, June 6.-Bear news from all quarters still controls the market. Early cables were lower, and both Liver pools and continentals were still lower on the close. India's shipments of the week. $40 900 bushels against none last year for the same time; Russian shipments were also heavy and the home crop news was exceptionally favorable from all sections. This combination started large selling on the curb and the opening showed prices from 1 to cents below Saturdays weak closing. The course was downward through out with exceptional attempts at resistance to again fall back.
 An additional factor in the selling is the shrewd farmer, who is selling against his standing crop. Taking all together, 1t looks as if there was too much company on the short side, but sentiment may possibly carry 1t still lower. The decrease in visible. 1,1O3, ,OO0, was offset by expected movement. Corn also ruled weak.

From the start the market was uninteresting and throughout the day the scope of fluctuations was limited to a range of points. If anything, the tendency was towards a higher level of values. The close was quiet and steady, with prices uncnang- scope of fluctuations was limited to a range 23,000 bales.

AVERTED A PANIC
By Asking a Clever Question at the
Proper Moment.


Proper Moment.
From the Washington Post.
The tales Of the panic on board the sink
ing Bourgogne make me think of a story
Hon. Ben Gable, of Illinois, tells of an ex-
perience of his in mid-ocean. The day was
foggy, and most of the passengers were be-
low listening to two evangelists who were
holding a particularly fervid gospel meeting
in the saloon. Suddenly and without the
slightest warning there was terrific crash
and the engines stopped. Every one rushed
on deck. The steamer had run into an ice
berg. Nobody knew what damage had been
done, and everybody was ready to fly into
q panic. The boats were lowered and then
for the first time the two evangelis,s, who
had been forgotten in the saloon, appeared
on deck. They wore their overcoats ard
their hats and they carried rugs and hand
bags. They elbowed their way rudely to the
rail, with the evident intent of securing for
themselves first places in the boat 1t was
just at a time when a breath would have
sent the passengers panic-stricken into the
boats. The sight of the two evangeists was
about to undo the work of cool-headed off,
GERS, when pert little cockney stepped UP
to the gentlemen with the rugs and hand
bags.
BEG pardon, said he, tipping his cap,
" ave a cab, sir?'
And in the general laugh the danger Of
panic was averted
