Tho October jibs and lard deals Were running at tbe old stand, notwithstanding tho efforts of a mysterious stranger to transfer then to a justice court. Compared with Saturday nlgbt, October deliveries this evening showed advances ot 17c foripbrk, 15c for rib, and 7K for lard. Tho grain markets all closed with slight gains. Tho most important mHtter brought to the attention of tlie provision trade -was the heavy difference between the stocks of short ribs on October 1 as officially leported and tbo estimates male by the packers in advance. They amounted to nearly 31,000 -000 pounds, as against pievious outsldo esti mates of 24.000,000 pound. The matter was ulmostas uiucn oi a puzzle as the identity of the individual named ltouche, who seeks to have Wright and Cudaby arrested for running a corner. It was calculated by Eomc of the txpcits on tbe floor that taking the receipts und shipments of bo.r meats for tho month and tho receipts and shipments of hogs, the published stocks Showed moie meat in store by eomo 30,000.000 pounds that could be made from the hogs slaughtered. The stocks re ported on hand indicate smaller supplies of mess pork than generally expected, while the quantity of lard n as about as anticipated. It was expected that the large stocks of short rib sides would encourage tho offering of other speculative articles rather freely at the opening. Temporarily prices ruled slightly lower, but it was demonstrated that a good inquiry prevailed und a decidedly Btronger leeling was developed. Shorts bought moderately, and ptlces advanced on some of tho leading articles, though outside flgurcs were not supported to the close. Wliilo tlieje was a good deal in the wheat market whieh was regarded as bearish, there were other considerations htch held the market firm and a shade higher, but the trade was not very active. The local re ceipts werovery heavy 635 cars, where 750 . cars were estimated and the deliveries in tbe Northwest were heavy, being 1,061 cars at Minneapolis and861carsat Dnluth, or 1,922 cars in all. In addition to this tuu trade nu Generally looking fox ; an Increase ot 4,000.000 uusnois lntns vimuio supply, .Later, wnen . . ... j the returns were all in and it was found that WIU V191UIO BUpjJiy UUU lUVICKBBU IDBI kllu 3,000.000 bushels, and that tho heavy local re celpts were due to Sunday inspection of the principal roads, tho market received addi tional strength. , Tho market tnrned weaker during the last hour on realizing sales and prices returned to tlie opening figures, which were a shade above the final quota tions Saturday, In oorn initial trades were the same to yKa under the final figures of t-aturdav. Out uu deran inipioved demand, especially for De cember, tbe market advanced with but lit tle reaction c receded c later, changed some, l uled steady and closed with a shnde advance. The price was helped by tho Berbohm figures, purporting to show that tho European supplies are gone, and that Europe will require 9,000,WW bushels tins month from this side.

NO DECLINES OP .IMPORTANCE. Peoples' Natural Gas and P., A. & 11. Trac tion Are Strongest LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS Monday, Oct 3. The speculative markets East and West opened the new week with the bulls in con trol. On the New York Stock Exchange the bullish sentiment was quite pronounced. London bought its favorites, the various cliques boosted their specialties, and these operations, in conjunction with eager buy lng by the shorts, resulted in material ad vances throughout the. list, the close being firm at the best prices. "Beyond manipu lation and mystery, however, "said a special wire to a local house, "there is little in the actual condition of things to justify the present demonstrations. Money is firm at the advance and the bullish appearance of speculation is likely to yield at any moment to the pressure of financial necessity." On the Chicago Board of Trade the opening firmness was not fully sustained to the close excepting in the case of hog products, but the best authorities wired that some of thebig buyers and operators wero talking in a strain that indicated a growing sentiment in favor ot tbe long side. On tho Local Board. Tho market for local securities opened quietly, ruled moderately active at midday, and closed dull and generally weak, though some good gains were established. Tho trading at tho calls covered P., A. & M. traction. Citizens traction, Philadelphia Company, Ltor Mining Company, west inghouse Electric second preferred, P. & B. traction, Duquesno traction, and "Duquesne traction 5s. P.. A. & M. traction whs an ex ception to the rule of weakness, selling up to 44K and closing strong at 44V45. Citizens traction was another exception, selling in a small way at enclosing at G334X- Phila delphia Company was rather weak-, selling at 22 on call, and closing at 2222, with considerable wanted. Just after call it sold at 22V, and there was a rumored transaction at 22.

The annual meeting or the stockholders of the Allegheny Heating Company was held to-day and was very sllmly attended. Beyond tbo facts that tbe reports showed that the company had paid 8 per cent in dividends and carried a good sum to surplus account and that the reports were quite satisfactory nothing definite could be learned regarding the results of tbe past year's operations. It was stated, however, by one of the stockholders pres ent that It was shown that the bulk of the Shields' shortage had been made good and that the remainder would be collected in due time. From the same source it was also learned that tho reports read would not be printed and sent out to the stockholders. A resolution was offered embodying instruc tions to havo them printed and distributed, but it was objected to and withdrawn. Tho objector declared that it was no one's business what the com pany was doing, and that tbe stock holders, especially the large ones, could get tbe information, if they wanted It, from the company's books. Tho gentleman was re minded that small stockholders were just as much entitled to know all about the com pany's operations as the large ones, and that tho public would be interested in them.but it was resolvod not to make them public No election of directors was held, the stock holders present adjourning to meet again for that purpose at the call of President Westinghouse, who was out of tbe city. October Disbursements.

Thore has been but small change to speak of in tho amount to be disbursed as compared with that ot last year, most of the inci ease being attributable to tbe increase in tbo dividend disbursements. .Interest becomes due aud is payable on the bonds of railroads and similar corporations having an aggregate par value of $794,763,272, such interest amounting to $21,778,087. In addition to the above dividends havo been declared or are payablo during he month on stocks having a par value of $686 385,049, tho dividends amounting to $11,323,033, making tbe total disbursements on this account $33,101,125.

EastbouDd shipments of freight from Chicago last week by all lines amounted to 02,284 tons, against 63,001 during the preced ing week, a decrease or 717 tons, and against 67,923 during tho corresponding week last year, an iucreaso of 4,356 tons. The traffic was divided 4mong tbe several roads in the iollbwing proportions: Michigan Central, 10 042 tons; Wabash, 3,136 tons: Lake Shore, 9,717 tons; Ft. Wayno, 6,141 tons; Panhandle, 7,600 tons; Baltimore aud Ohio, 4,092 tons; Grand Trunk, 4,616 tons: Nickel Plate, 6,803 tons: Chicago and Erie, 7,606 tons; Big Four, 2.471 tons. Shipments by lake amounted to 126,476 tons, against 118.310 for the preceding week, an increase of 8,166 tons. Through shipments of flour, grain and provisions from Chicago to the seaboard by tho roads in the Central Traffic Association last week amounted to 24,740 tons, against 23,809 lor the preceding week, an Increase of 1,945 tons, against u,wi lor the con espond ing week last year, an increase of 1,052 tons.

Chairman Midgely, of the Western Freight Association, reports that tbe Southwestern aud Missouri ElVer roads are doing an en ormous oastbound business. During the month of September tbe shipments or cattle from Kansas City amounted to about 6,000 car load 3, the heaviest movement ever known in a single month. The shipments of wheat from Kansas City during the .same period amounted to upward of 10,000 carloads. All tho roads are so crowded with business that they are cramped for cars with which to fill their orders, and it is largely due to this state of affairs, no doubt, that eastbound freight rates Irom the Missouri river con. tiuue steady. The gross earnings of tho entire system of 1 the cnicago, uock isiana anu racinc Rail way for the month of September are esti mated at $1,970,799, an increase as compared with those of the corresponding month last year of $123,309.
