Paine. Murphy S Co.'S Grain Letter

By Private Wire to Paine, Murphy & Co.
 Birmingham December 29.-Cables were somewhat disappointing this morning. Wheat was %c lower in Liverpool and all foreign markets had a weak tone. The opening here showed tendency to sympa- thize. and some realizing was induged in, but the offerings soon became smaller than the demand, and prices gradually harden ed, scoring @ net advance of half on the day. Corn showed early weakness, and throughout there seemed to be quantities for sale around 3S1Ac for May. This caused 11ac decline, but later the market recovered to about last nights figures.
