Paine, Murphy 8 Co.'S stock Letter

BY Private Wire to Paine Murphy Co.
Birmingham. January 30.-The quotations
from London at the start were not wholly
satisfactory but arbtfage houses were
among the most moderate buyers today.
Commission houses were also among the
buyers, presumably with orders which had
accumulated over Sunday and these for
time offset the attacks of those who are
exerting themselves in behalf of a reaction
During the afternoon the latter element
proved somewhat successful and there were
moderate reactions from the advance The
later dealings were on recoveries, so that
the average level of prices were practically
unchanged from Saturdays. The closing
being firm with no indication of further
decline for the immediate future. For
some time past we have repeatedly denied
rumors that top prices were in sight and
today we are firm believers in the con-
tinued advance.

birmingham, January SO.-Although there
WAS no material change in the foreign mar
kets this morning, the same strength winch
existed of late was plainly seen in our mar
ket after the Sunday holiday. Fairly prices
were at slight advance. but later declined
fractionally on small realizing, a factor that
must be expected after the steady advance
of the last few months.
Liverpool was noticeable among the buy
ers today and we predicted some days ago
We are surely from this source to receive

general builish sentiments which come
from all parts of the south and the drift of

The Saturday movement plainly evidenced
the general feeling in this market.
The volume of business today was more
than encouraging to commission houses and
their clients will undoubtedly follow them
as long as favorable conditions exist. We
are still bullish on this commodity.

Paine, Murphy q Co.'s Grain Letter

BY Private Wire to Paine, Murphy & Co.
Birmingham, January 30.-There was
small decline in Liverpool cables at the OPP
ening this morning, but the same bullish
feeling existed here and the first sales were
made at advances ranging u to " per
bushel compared with Saturdays closing
prices There was much backing and fill
ing during the early hours, but on all slight
declines support was forthcoming, which
shows plainly the condition of this market.
Commission houses are swamped with or
ders fractonally under prevailing prices
and as these are reached on little slumps,
prices quickly rebound. The export demand
continues favorable in the face of recent
advance and from this source alone we will
undoubtedly receive influences sufficient to
warrant much higher prices. Among the
coarse cereals the volume Of business was
materially curtailed, but at that prices were
well sustained.

New York, January SO.-The broadening
tendency of speculation in cotton was still
marked today, contrary to the expectation
of some traders who looked for quite gen.
eral liquidation of long cotton.
Wall street houses, however, were active
buyers ard outside support contributed to
stimulate the early market. The trading
commenced, the first call, at unchanged
prices but finished at an advance of points.
The fluctuations for the rest of the day
while numerous were not extensive.
According to accounts from southern spot
markets, American spinners were having
difficulty to get suitable supplies at prices
which the quotations on the manufactured
product would justify while competition
was sharp between the buyers of this coun-
try and Great Britain and the continent.
On the other hand, the public English
cables were disappointing, especially in re-
gard to spot sales at Liverpool. Gables
brought selling and large amount of SELL
ing done for foreign account without
breaking the strength of prices.

ally heavy blocks during the forenoon,

A Word to the Buying Public!

The year just passed has witnessed
many peculiar phases OF the business
situation.
You have been besieged on every
side by so-called '.Closing OUT and
"Going Out of business" sales. You
have been led to believe that THIS,
THAT and the OTHER concerns could
sell you goods cheaper than dirt
almost give you them in fact.
OF the four or five of our competi-
tors who have stated their intentions
through the papers OF retiring from
business NOT ONE HAS RETIRED! Is
that keeping faith with the people?
Does that kind of business payP We
think not. In spite of the many trade
catching schemes we have been able
to do business. Our trade has been as
good If not better than ever before,
and now we find our stock so much re-
duced that our buyer is compelled to
go to Eastern markets to purchase
goods fully 80 days earlier than prev
ious seasons.
The public may rest assured that
not only new and dependable goods
will be purchased, and as we are in q
position to take advantage of every
possible discount, our prices will be
found down to BED ROCK.
Thanking you Tor past liberal patron
age, we beg to remain,
Very respectfully,
JOHNSON BROS.
