HOG PRODUCTS HIGHER.
Under Clique Manipulation and the Cereals
Tend Downward.
Chicago, Oct It A rapid twist of the Jack
screws under January pork elevated that
article near the close to-day to 30c over last
night's figures. In cereals the tendency was
downward. A considerable portion of
Bloom's big line of wheat is said to have
come upon the market, and the closing
prices showed n net loss or VJ&y.c for the
dny. Corn Is off Jc, and oit iKc
In the pork nond the Cudali;-Wr5ht
combination took all the Januarv pork that
the packets were williusr to sell. Lard
moved, or rather was moved, up In sm
pathy and libs were likewise advanced
The packers, with the exception of tho
Cndahy Bros., are reported to be opposed to
"o .iiv; huku me miter, mey hay, are
aiding Wright to bring abont. Januaty
pork closed 7Kc from top figures or the clay.
Zard and ribs each left off with a gain of 10c
for Januarv.
What strength there was In wheat to-day
was chiefly derived irom the improved Liv
erpool cables, the public ones quoting de
ciaed strength there, while the private ones
were even more lavorable. Another 1 eason
for the strength was found In the falling off
In receipts at primary points and especially
In the Northwest, where deliveries have ap
parently reached the maximum. Bnt re
ports that the parched wheat fields in the
Southwest had been getting the needed
moisture were trequent and apparently
authentic and this, withthelact that other
European markets did not show the same
degree of strength that the Liverpool mar
ket did, and some were rather easier, had
a weakening effect.
Corn was quiet, and showed a little firm
ness early, largely in sympathy with wheat,
lint then became weak on the free selling
both of long property and for short account.
In oats operators showed a disposition to
l sell ireelv. with some order nf th vinii
said to be for Eastern account.
There to a moderate demand for wheat

LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEW8
Pbtdat, Oct 14.
The bulging feature of the market to-dav
was something that looked like a concerted
raid on Philadelphia Company. For sev
eral days past the proceedings on 'Change
with respect to Philadelphia Company have
had a somewhat Suspicious look. There
has been no particular pressure to sell and
no disposition of consequence to buy, but
in a general way things have looked as if
someone was trying to jar ont some of the
took. It remained very dull and stub
born, however, until day before yesterday,
when a slight sagging tendency set in. To
day the stock became active. Several of
the brokers appeared openly at the noon
board as sellers and disposed of several
hundred shares, which, however, were so
well absorbed and the consequent de
cline so slight that if, as intimated, it was
a raid those behind it must have felt a little
chagrined over the result. The selling
was accompanied by talk about a notice of
cancellation of contracts to be sent by tlie
company to some of the manufacturing con
cerns, which, as noted, proved to be a very
ineffective weapon.
In explanation of the notice mentioned,
Manager Brown talked to The Dispatch late
this afternoon, as follows: "During the suni-
iiner we have a surplus of gas, which we sell
as best we can to manufacturers and others
.subject to cancellation of contract
when our domestic consumption, which
pays ns the maximum price, increases.
About this season of the year ire send out a
cancellation ot these summer contracts, and
while we would not care if none or them
were renewed, a fair percentage of them
always are. These are the facts abont the
notice. There is nothing unusual about it
at all. It has been the custom of the com
pany for years." .
Luster was comparatively active, with the
tendency downward, and Pleasant Valley
Railway, Union Switch and Signal, Under
ground Cable, United States Glass and Man
ufacturers' Gas were strong, bnt otherwise
tbe market was featureless.
Philadelphia Company sold at 22(3)21 on
"call, closed at 21022 and sold at 21 after
call. AtSlJj the demand oovered several
hundred shares. At the second board,
Luster sold from 8 down to 6, between

J. S. Bache A Co. to Oakley 4 Co.: "A fa
vorable feature in the market was the ad
vance in silver in London and a sympa
thetic advance here, which should lead to
an advance in the price of cereals and cot
tons, and that cannot but benefit the coun
try at lar.e. We admit that developments
are favorable to the bulls; that business is
generally good; that money is in demand
for legitimate enterprises, and that pros
pects favor an ultimately still further in
crease in values; bnt for the moment we
think that traders are pretty well loaded
and that some of the recent manipulators
have been tempted by the advance to take
their profits, hence we do not think it a fa
vorable moment for purchases."

ACTIVITY THE FEATURE
Ill Grocery and Country Produce Lines
Foultry In Heavy Supply and a Little
Easier Everything Else Steady to Firm
and Some Prices Higher Nuts Actlye.
Fbiday, Oct, 14.
Mercantile trade was quite active to-day,
especially in grocery and country produce
lines, but it was generally featureless. As
a rule, however, the markets were firm.
Receipts of poultry were unusually heavy
and prices were shaded a little, but this was
abont tile only exception to the rule of
strength. Nuts ot all kinds were reported
in active demand owing to the approach of
Halloween and prices, particularly of chest
nuf, were higher and firm. Provisions were
reported firmer and so were cabbage,
tnrnips, potatoes, eggs, dairy products and
fruits. It is expected that dealers in hog
products will advance sides Saturday and
that butter and coffee will be higher the first
of next week. '

STEUCTDEAL IE0N IN GOOD IEHAND
Fbidat, Oct. 14. ,
Pit; iron shows unmistakable signs of im
provement at most of the consuming points
throughout the country, and, with the ex
ception ot an occasional weak spot, thejuar
ket for most kinds of finished material con
tinues satisfactory. The influences that
have been at work in crude material during
the past six weeks have had the effect ol in
creasing the strength of this branch of the
trade to a marked degree. -The improve
ment has not been owing to any sudden in
crease in the sales made, since buyers, as a
rule, show great couserrativeness in pur
chasing beyond their pressing wants; but it is
largely due to an extension of the confidence
and better leellng than have been mani
fested in the trade since it became recog
nized that consumption aud production
were moie nearly equal.
As yet, however, the market has shown no
important change in values. Some of the
furnaces report orders booked sufficient to
take their output during the balance! of the
year: others, while adhering firmly to the
existing quotations, are disposed to ask a
slight advance for new business, especially
for deferred deliveries One of the leading
brokers says that one of the lurnaces sent
word to sell no morn mill iron below $12 73.
while other furnaces were selling at $12 50.
On the whole, the preent situation is one
in which manufactureis find much that is
encouraging and the prosnect for better
business during the remainder of the year.
Two Opinions on the Situation.
"Cola Short," excellent authority on raw
iron, has this to say: "I adhei'e to tbe
opinion previously expressed that as soon
as matters can be straightened legitimately
Bessemer will not onlv catch n hnt it ;u
relatively distance the other grades of pig
metal."
There is considerable difference in the
views of leading dealers. Some specialties
have an upward drift, othets have a down
waid tendency; some are absolutely feature
less, so that the ultimate outcome is a mat
ter of nncertainty. '-The inquiry for pig iron
in the East," says anEasteru dealer, "has he
come such that sellers are declining to enter
the 16ng time orders and none, so far as can
be learned, are willing to quote prices for
delivery later than December 31. Consumers
are not worried about the situation, appar-
diih.jr uancviiijj; tuac sue uuvance, 11 any.
will be small and that it is better to run the
risk than lay in stocks. "Their orders, how
ever, ate a little heavier."
Closing Temper of the Markets.
The latest trade was reasonably active so
far as the volume of business was concerned.
Prices, however, for most descriptions were
not very satisfactory. Bes3emer ranged
from $13 E014 00;gray lorge, $12 4ll12 30;steel
billets firmer, with siles 10,000 tons at $22 75,
being 75 cents above the lowest sale last
week. Structm al material was active at the

Chicago, Oct 14. Special Rogers, Brown
& Merwin say: Tbe Chicago market con
tinues active. Inquiries are numerous and
many of these are .now coming in from,
prominent consumers for round lotsand are
distributed botween strong and soft foun
dry grades and about equally divided be
tween local coke and Southern brands.
Northern coke companies are now mater
ially firmer in price than was the case last
month. Keports published show a heavy
catting down on stocks at the furnaces dur
ing September. This is proving an impor
tant factor in the market and has added to
the strength and firmness of tone.
