Receipts were very heavy. The decline might have been serious had it not been checked by that investment demand which always crops up whenever the market weakens. May opened at 6l5, declined steadily to COS and closed at 6.o9 to 6.10 with the tone of the market steady. The south was easier. The political out look throws such an element of uneertaah- ty in the market as to make predictions largely guess work.

Paine, Murphy 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.
 Birmingham, Ala, March 1.-The demand by Spain for the recall of Gen. Lee from Cuba was met by such emphatic refusal by this administration that the stock mar ket was demoralized at the opening both here and in Europe. The first sales were wild, with declines ranging from A to $10 per share. After the first ten minutes sup porting orders advanced the entire list, but the market was again raided to about the opening prices. Later Spain backed down and withdrew her request for Lees recall. This strengthened the market. The su- preme court decided the long-expected maximum bill favorable to railways. At any other time this would have advanced prices rapidly, but owing to the warlike report 1t merely steadied the market. News from the Orient is complicated, and a war cloud is also appearing upon the eastern horizon. Pessimists fear the whole world will be involved in strife, and while this is more than doubtful, it all has effect The market showed considerable recovery in the closing hour and bargain hunters bought stock.

 Paine Murphy x Co.'s Grain Letter
 Birmingham, Ala, March 7.-Wheat opened nervous and weak, with trading small; rallied quickly, advancing l cent on the serious Spanish situation and the report from the far east that Russia was advancing in the Chinese country and had issued an u1timatum- This caused some some advance, which was offset by fear Of money stringency in cas of war with spain. The movement by the Armour crowd in bringing wheat to Chicago elevators was also ; menace and the situation favors lower prices. If the war feature was elim- mated wheat would have temporary slump, as the clique seem tired of arti- ficially propping it. Closing prices showed little improvement, but violent changes are likely to follow any actual war declaration. The clique bought September and advanced it 2 cents. Coarse grains and provisions were weak in sympathy and the latter de- clined quickly in early trading.

 The stock markets here were fat and demoralized today by present political scares, consols and similar securities clos ing quiet at the lowest. The scares were all the more potent, coming on the eve of the settlement. Americans opened fiat and gave way steadily on home and continental selling. Prices closed practically at the lowest, including foreigners, Spanish secur- ities being 25s lower.
 There was much pressure from Paris to sell Spanish securities, as also Turkish se- curities and all international and South American stocks.
 Trouble Is feared at he settlement, if there is no recovery prior thereto.
 Bar gold is in demand for American inn porters at about ITS Tod. Probably 100000 pounds in all was bought here today for New York.
 It is not generally known that one clause of the Japanese loan contract provided for the withdrawal of European bankers from the contract, if at the time of the issue the political situation should be critical.
 The loan probably would have been is- sued next Saturday, and it is believed in city circles that Russias demand that China shall settle the points raised by the former within five days is significant, in- cluding among other objects the defeat of the lean project. The position of Spain and the United States attracted the most attention City financiers attach much im- portance to the desperate condition of Spanish finances, and believe this may prompt Spain to aggressive action. or at least that Spain might not withdraw from the position taken up There was a sharp rise in Spanish exchange on London ex- change today from B 95 to 340.
