 Paine, Murphy & Co.'S Stock Letter.
 BlrmIngahm, Ala, June 10.-'The belief In the fall of Santiago and the mmedi- ate occupation of Cuba were features that caused renewed buying. Tho only backset was reports of yellow fever in Mississippi, which caused London to sell Louisville and Nashville, which broke one dollar a share and failed to rally.

Closing prices for leg.:i- mate was at about the best of the day
