Paine, Murphy 3 Co.'s Stock Letter

By Private Wire to Paine, Murphy & Co.
Birmingham, May 4.-The stock market
opened quiet and irregular, being unfavor-
ably affected by weakness in London. At
ter opening lower, the standard stocks de-
yeloped firmness. Atchson continued I'M
der pressure which seemed to be due to
the fear that the company's traffic will suf-
fer owing to the damage to the Kansas
wheat crop. The market developed pro-
nounced weakness during the course of
the morning, a break of 9 points in Sugar
being the chief feature of dealings. Brook
Ign and all the other active stocks, how
ever, also sold off rapidly, although their
weakness and that of the general market
was without any particular explanation in
the way of news. Observers of dealings
considered the weakness to be chiefly trea-
son of active operations on the short side
by two large bear operators. London was
very large seller of stocks, disposing of
10000 shares,

New York, May Awhile the cotton mar

was developed at the outset this morning
by the favorable character of the Liverpool
foreign buying, small receipts and conflict

an advance of one each every three points,
but trading was slack. There was dis
position to hold off for the government re-
port during next Wednesday. This fact,
in connection with the more or less preva-
lent belief that August may develop as a
dlsturber of the peace, made traders eau
tious The general undertone was very
steady throughout the list. There was some
buying for Wall street account, but as
rule II was very easily scared. Local IN

bullish bureau report on the 10TH AT the

of 36f4 points on yesterdays prices, the
