THE MARKETS.
Quotations By Telegraph for The Times'
Commercial Readers.
Paine, Murphy & Co.’s drain Letter.
Savannah, June 25.—A very ner
vous feeling has prevailed in .Inly
wheat today, although the deferred
futures were rather dull and fluctu
ated within a narrow range. July,
however, advanced 2 1-8 from low
point, reacting only slightly. Im
pressions seem to prevail that July
holdings are concentrated and that
the extent of the advance will depend
on the aotion of the shorts. Corn ba
been steady and closed at yesterday’s
figures. The estimate on provision
stocks is for an increase in lard of
150,000, an increase in ribs ol 7,000,000.
and a decrease in pork of 000.
Paine, Murphy & Co.’s Stock Letter.
Savannah, June 25. —The stock mar
ket was active and buoyant up to noon
today, with an increased demand from
commissions. Grangers and New
York Central were the leaders of the
advance, scoring 1 per cent and more,
a reaction following in the afternoon,
due to profit taking, but the close was
on a higher level. St. Paul was well
supported above SO.
Paine, Murpliy & Co.’s Cotton Letter.
Savannah, June 25 —A rather dis
appointing Liverpool this morning
and considerable liquidation of July,
this being first notice day on that de
livery are practically the only feature
in the market this morning. Opening
quotations were rather better ttian ex
pected in view of the ralher disap
pointing cables from abroad repre
senting a decline of 1 to 2 points only
as compared with last evening.
