Bibs, Pork and Lard aiake Prodlgloos Leaps Upward on Light Receipts of Hogs and a Good Demand for Them Oats, Corn and Wheat Also Advance. Chicago, Oct. 17. The big stained-glass ceiling on 'Change seemed In Imminent danger to-day from the combined dashimr tip of prices. Short ribs made a leap of 62Jc, pork 40c nnd lard 35c Oats closed with a cain of c to lc; corn Is up-Jc tojic, and wheat Jc The provision market opened strong on "the small receipts of .hogs and. tlje good de mand for them reported lrom tho yards. John Cudahy & Co. were the best buyers of 'January pork at the start, but later In tho day everybody appeared to want it. It. W. ; Dunham was a good buyer. Baidwtn-Far-'num took a good deal, and there appeared to be numerous buying orders in the hands of commission houses generally. Ilately Bros, were heavy buyers of lard, or would liavo been if offerings had been more lib eral. They got a lair quantity, however, and it was said their purchases were lor uccount of Fairbanks. Schwartz-Dupeo innd AlcCormlck took between 2,500,000 and 8,000,000 pounds of January ribs. There u as no hesitation on tlio buying side, and prices gathered stiength as the session progressed. . loosing prices uro at me iop oi tne days range. It has been a general belief, here that the 'receipts in tho Northwesfwonld let up, but Instead the arrivals, if anything, are larger .than they have been. Notwithstanding this and extraordinai ily heavy receipts locally, -wheat hero opened quito firm at the price it . closed at on Saturday, or a little better. The -firmness, too, was in the lace of the lact that the Liverpool market was easier, and that India shipped 340,000 busfiel last week against only 60,000 bushels on the week pre ceding. On the other hand, Beerbohm's ' early cablegram quoted cargoes of California 'and red winter firmer and held higher. Lon don sent higher quotations lor silver, which 'necessarily makes Indian wheat cost the foreign purchaser more money, and there- fore tends to further curtail shipments from that country. lieports, too, showed that a large area of the winter wheat belt hero was still in need of rain. On the publication of an Increase of8,s34,000 bushels in tho visible, the market slumped off, but the effect of the larje Increase was quickly overcome by the receipt of the closing cables quoting ad vances a t London, Paris and Berlin. Corn opened strong, with receivers tho best bnyers. The receipts were 93 cars where only 50 had been expected, but as there was Sunday Inspection of six im portant roads they fell below what miirlit Have been expected. A great -many reports were in from the country that the quality of the ci op was almost sure to prove very in ferior. The oats traders experienced an active session, the maiket ruling extremely strong from the very start. The buying orders were heavier than on any nrevlons day this month, while the shorts, lull by Sibley, and Pardidge and Leemtng took up large quan tities, i'cw York also boncht quito freely.

The Uarket Broadens a Little and the Demand Is Good. LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS Monday, Oct, 17. The speculative markets East and West were bullish to-day, and as a rule higher prices were established,both on the Chicago Board of Trade and the New York Stock. Exchange. Tho advance on the latter board, however, was not fully sustained, as active and higher money, reports of a strike of the telegraphers on the Atchison system and the lailure of the Northern Pacific directors to do anything which would look like a dividend ou the preferred stock of that company combined to give' a bearish appearance to a market which, in its earlier manifestations, seemed to be entirely bull ish, London sent higher quotations in the morning, but did not buy stocks. The close was strong, however, on a number of good net gains. On the Chicago Board of Trade the closing quotations were at the highest points of the day. Movements on the Local Board. Philadelphia Company was the bright particular star of the local stock firmament to-day. It was heavily sold on 'Change, the transactions in it being more than one half tho day's total business, which was quite largo. The selling was not gcncial, however, being confined to about the same sources from wliichjtlie stock came at tho close of last week, but it was sufficient to depress the price to 213I and give the market an unsteady tone nt the close. The sailing was "mixed," ac cording to one of the brokeis engaged in'it, from which it was lnforied that the East had a hand in it and that it was partly wind. O! course tho notice sent out by the company of a reduction in the discount al allowed on bills within 15 days of their date wis given as tho basis of the selling move ment, but It is believed by conservative. street people mat tne aavance ot 24 cents per 1.10 feet which the reduction in the rate of discount establishes will ultimately bo regarded as a bull card. The first imnression it Imparted, -however, was undoubtedly a bearish one It was regarded by many as a confession by the com pany that the favorable reports of developments in the gas fields had boon ex aggerated, to say tlio least. This impression brought out somu speculative holdings, and those who handled them improved tho op poitunity presented to make a little turn on their own. account, which, with small sales by the "taileis," depie-scd tho stock as note. It is not reasonable to suppose that any considerable peicentngo ot tho com pany's customers will shu toff its service and loturu to the use of coal beciusoof tlinnd vauce of 2c iu the price of gus. When the advance to 20c per net 1,000 feet was made consumers pretty generally settled down to the conviction that the price would ultimately bo" 25c net, and those who know most nbont tho natural gas bu.-iness do not believe thero will be any material decrease In the consumption until the price exceeds tho limit then popu larly act. Nor is the fact of tho advance a good argument that the company believes it has not sufficient ens to supply all its household patious. It is rather an admis sion that it does not believe thero is margin enough between tho cost of produc tion and tho cost of consumption. It is probable tho ndvance will loe the company some of its patrons, hut it is also probable that the advanco will more than tin k-n Tin tri nnv Mnn inaa The stock started off at 21?i sales.

Tlio Snbject Being Agitated A District Marked Ont in the City Where No Open Chimneys Are Allowed The Law to Be Strictly Enforced. The necessity for some method to destroy the smoke in Pittsburg is becoming more apparent each day. Unite the heavy fog from the rivers and the murky smoke from the factories aud the resnlt is a substance that has given Pittsburg her well-known sobriquet. To the minds of thinking people It is time to introduce a change, and they are acting accordingly. The Ladies' Health Protective Association is doing heroic service in this direction. Monthly meetings are held in the Ladies' Room of the Pittsburg Library. Through the efforts of this association an ordinance has passed Councils compelling tbe use of smoko consumers on chimneys in all parts of the city east of Miltenberger street and Thlity thlrd street, north of Second avenue and south of the Allegheny Valley Railroad. The association not be ing satisfied with tho ordinance passed have retained able counsel to see that Its pet scheme is carried out. No aotlon has been taken against those who have re- ' fused to obey the city law, but a reasonable delay is being allowed with the hope that they will adopt j,bo consumers, but if after a certain period nothing is done proceed ings will be begun against them. Several companies have already been spotted and good clear cases established. The associa tion is doing quiet but effective work and in a short time expects to have worked a revo lution In the atmospheric conditions of the city. Miss Mary E. Semple said last evening: "I can't understand why the newspapers do not agitato this subject more. They should have something on tbe snbject every day, oven if it would be only a line. This sub ject is of Interest to every business man in Pittsburg, and demands mora attention than It is receiving. Pittsburg Is behind In this respect, and should awaken to her true condition. It can easily be accomplished, as many devices have Deen proven a suc cess, and will consume 93 per cent of the smoke. The association holds another meeting next Tuesday, when something nioro ou the subject can be expected."
