Paine. Murphy & Co.'s Grain Letter

By Private Wire to Paine, Murphy & Go.
 Birmingham, January 20.-Early cables were slightly higher up to 1:30 p. m., but final closing was as lower, which was some what disappointing to the local crowd, who are inclined to believe Standard oil inter- ests are becoming interested in the pur- chase of wheat. There seems to be some misunderstanding regarding the Argentine crop. and conservative people are awaiting official crop advices. After opening about at yesterdays prices, there was a slight re- action, but the closing was firm, with prices rallying to opening figures. Dullness prevailed throughout the day. Corn was about steady, nothing of special interest developing. Provisions strong, and show good buying.

 Birmingham, January 2O.-The foreign cables were lower closing about one point below yesterday. This influenced opening prices, which were at concessions of from two to three points, but after the first call buying orders because plentiful and prices again advanced four to five points above the opening, with the general closing better than yesterday There was some squeezing of the shorts in January option. Port re- ceipts were 31,OOO vs. 390O last year, which also helped prices. The Wall street crowd are very bullsh and there is every indiea- tion of further advancement.

manlpulators took all offerings, and an- other advance of per cent. share was recorded. The Grangers, Atchison prefer red and other recent leaders were also prominent. The upward movement con- tinued until after ? D. m., when there was some declines on the regular Friday realiz- ing. The room traders and that class of brokers preferring to trade rather than make commissions, were the largest sellers at the close.
