The railroad industrial and business interests of Birmingham were very much surprised yesterday over the at- tack of former well known Birming- nam man directed against the Southern Railway company and their methoos of ticket selling in New York city.

 The prevailing custom in New fork ,s not to sell 2-cen mileage in that city. The reason Is that py tnis method the Pennsylvania raliroau would he forced to compete with lower rate, thus decreasing the rev enue, As that company owns the iine used bv the Southern railway, US oi- ract,ors are observed, as a matter or course. On the other hand, mileage purchased in Birmingham will De eN- changed in the New York office the same as at any other point on the vast system. the only difference being the instructions and agreements pc tween the Pennsylvania and the South- .rn and betw cen other lines and other initial railroads. are all similar. mere is no lines coming to this city that can sell mileage in New York city.

BroomhaIl's Report.

Liverpool. March 29.-The weaker
American cables yesterday and the
bearish Argentine and Australian re-
ports were offset by the closing
steadiness in Buenos Ayres and the
talk of smaller Argentine shipments
this week and prices were " TO a
lower. Following the opening, pres
sure developed and prices lost an add
tionaI "a to u. Selling at this time
was due to bearish European statistics
and a general belief that future sup
plies will be large. Continental mar
kets are heavy and there has been a
noticeable withdrawal Of inquiry from
this center and there is very small
demand for spot. At midday the mar
ket was easy but dull, and a to 4
lower than yesterday.
The corn market opened unchanged
to "A lower, and during the morning
Nav further declined n on liquida-
ton in this month. The firmness in
Buenos Ayres was offset by lower
American offers and expectations OF
continued liberal Danubian shipments
and a poor spot trade.
Australian wheat crop of Victoria
this year is officially placed at S4,SoO,-
900; as compared with 29,6s7, 900 last
year.
Our Argentine agent cables that
there have been heavy rains in the
north which is unfavorable for the
harvesting of corn. This is reflected
in the Buenos Ayres market at the
close sterday.-Broomhall.

orain Letter.

Chicago, March s9.-There was
demoralizing wheat market today
liquidation proving again the control
ling feature, with May wheat the
weakest OF any of the futures. There
was temporary steadiness early in
the session on the first slight decline.
caused by covering on the part OF
local shorts. This buying took place
later in the session. Northwestern
markets were weak. The situation at
the moment seems rather a hopeless
one because as the price declines the
demand shows no Improvement from
any source whatever. We are con-
stantly asked how much above an ex-
port basis is the Chicago market, d
question which is impossible to an
swer as foreign markets decline almost
as fast as our own, and other export
ING countries continue to supply all
European requirements. Damage to
the growing crop of winter wheat or
some account In seeding the spring
crop may occur to change the entire
outlook. but at the moment, weak as
the market is and the decline as great
as II has been, we cannot see any rea-
son to advise or assume a bullish at
titude on the market.
