Paine. Murphy & Co.'S Stock Letter

Birmingham, Oct 2S.-Londons cables were indicative of a stronger belief in a diplomatic ending of the difficulties be- tween France and England. The effect upon the market while not violent, had a tendency to increase purchasing, and the entire list is broadening. The railways all advanced fractionally. In the trusts to- bacco was again the leader, and advanced six cents or more a share, or $2O share since last Thursday week ago, when we called attention to inside buying. The closing looks as if this stock would sell higher. Sugar was a laggard, and the bear are still believers in lower prices, but are proceeding with extreme caution fearing a squeeze. It is rumored that the tobacco company known the Continental has been fully organized. and has acquired several Louisville and Richmond and other concerns as members Final prices show ed good improvement in the whole list.

Birmingham, Oct 2S.-Today's transac- tions have been conspicuous for their nar- rowness, the extreme fluctuations being less than half a cent. Liverpool cables were surprisingly weak, declining Id net from yesterday. Northwest car movement was 1,135, against 1 104 last year, and north west points were sellers. To offset this there was some investment buying on ac- count of low prices, but foreigners were mixed, and 1t is believed they hold as much as they purchased. There has been very little export engagements re- ported so far. Reports from France were more peaceful, and the war scare does not figure. Corn was weak in sympathy with wheat while provisions were a shade lower.

 New York Cotton Market.
 New York, October 2S.-While the cotton market was very quiet today, it was also very steady. Public cables and weather reports failed to make much impression either one way or the other. Private ca- bles were decidedly hopeful as to the out look for business with English spinners. The market was generally steadier, due chiefly to covering on the part of the more conservative shorts. who feared that the market had been extensively oyer-sold al low prices. It was difficult to interest trad CTS In cotton IS speculative venture be- cause the movement continued very heavy and predicting new record for maximum receipts to eisplace the record established last week The market therefore had but I4etle support beyond that furnished by the shorts themselves. This was sufficient to hold prices, but not to advance them TO any considerable extent. The market was finally quiet at unchanged prices to points net higher

Capt. Clark of the BAttleship Oregon I'm
Route to the Naval Hospital
I'm New York.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. &c Capt Clark
of the battleship Oregon was carried
through this city yesterday on his
way to New York. where he will be
placed in the naval hospital to be
treated for dysentery. Twice. when
the captain was recognized on the lit
ter upon which he was borne. he was
heartily cheered by crowds which
quickly collected. In the Broad-street
station of the Pennsylvania railroad
an impromptu ovation was rendered
the hero OF the l5.OJ0.mile voyage
'.around the Horn, to which he. un-
fortunately, was too weak to respond.
shortly after the ST. Louis was
dockcd at Cramps yesterday, Capt
Clark was carried on strctcher from
the vessel to a carriage. He was rap
idly driven through the city to tine
Broad-street station. Again he was
placed in a litter and carried aboard q
sleeper attached to the noon train for
New York.
