Dealers in 17og Irodncts Reduce Quotations on Hogs and Eacon. CORN, MILLFEED AKD DAT AREIOWIR Saturday, Oct. 1. According to the Clearing House figures the volume of general business this week was 4.7 per cent smaller than last week, but, us compared xrith the figures of the like week of 1S91, an increase of 7.1 per cent is shown. The movement slackened some what during the closing days of the week, as it invariably does toward the close of a month, but there were plenty of indications .hat trade was improving and that increased activity would prevail during October. Some pretty good authorities expect that politics will interfere more or less with business, but in a general way the prevalent tcntiment Is confident and cheerful. In the way of prices staples ruled rather IrreRuliir. Wheat and; flour were firm; oats tended upward: corn, feed and liny were lower; supar was easy; coffee was "little stronger it anything; provisions closed lower for nams and bacon; rice, uolasses and syrups were Armor; dairy pro uucts, ctfgs and poultry were steady to firm; vefretaDles and trutts were slightly higher; mackerel and a few other varieties of fish were advanced; drygoods, boots and shoes and full and winter clothing were active at stronc prices, and hides and leather were fiinier w ithout being any higher. Crop Gossip. Prime made the follow in? report Friday: The almost perfect weather for the matur ity of the corn crop continues, and is almost tlcntical with that which we experienced a carajio. Taking the corn belt as a whole, I percent of the crop is safefiorn damage y frost. Sprins wheat reports show neatly alf the crop threshed. In Northern Min esota and Xorth Dakota, where 60 per cent f last yeai's crop was expected, threshings w do not indicate the j icld will be 00 per rnt. Farmers are not selling veiy freely, ut aie looking for better prices later on. there have been no killin? irosts. Ground eponed generally to be in good condition oi fall plowing. Goneral situation in win ter wheat belt is now a dry one; still farmers are 6eedlns winter wheat everywhere, look ing ror rain lator. Excellent progress has been made with seeding uo to date, buttbeio is no disposition to push seotfing, for the rejsou that there is ample time to get wheat into ground and growing belore cold weather. The Cincinnati J'rice Current's estimate is for a crop of 135,000,000 bushels of corn in Kansas, where the Government report indi cated a crop or only 90,000,000. The yield of the State of Kans.is U-t year was It2.000.000 bushels, in round numbers, so that if tins re port is correct the btate is again blessed B-ituanunusu-Uly good crop. In 1S93 this total ciop was only a little over 55,10,000 buthels. t "- I "Western Hog: Packing.

Nature has an antidote for every ill that human-kind is heir to. Some are still to be discovered, but the world's standard remedy for fatty de generation, rheumatic gout, constipa tion, indigestion, offensive breath, etc., is Nature's Remedy, pure and simple, and is called Carlsbad Sprudel Salts, the evaporation of the Carlsbad Water, bottled by the city of Carls bad for American use.

Philadelphia and New Toik capitalists have, through their agent, William Doe, secured the op tion of leases upon 40,000 acres of land in tho noithem part of this county, and will at once tap the earth for coal, oil and natural gas. Tne proximity of tho Bradford oil fields has often stirred homo capitalists to prospect in various parts of Lycoming county for petroleum, but all the dozen or so wells sunk have only been dry holes In the ground.

Our Meat, Fish, Oysters, Saratoga Chips, Eggs, Dough nuts, Vegetables, etc. . Like most other people, our folks formerly used lard for all such purposes. When it disagreed with any of the family (which it often did,) we said it was "too rich' We finally tried and not one of us has had an attack of "richness" since. We further found that, unlike lard, Cottolene had no un pleasant odor when cooking, and lastly Mother's favorite and conservative cooking au thority came out and gave it a big recommendation which clinched the matter.
