CHICAGO, October 23.-The CONNER
ciaL Review publishes this evening a Ia
ble of rerlies received by Milward & Co.,
provision dealers, from correspondents
in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Ohio
and Indiana, to inquiries addressed to
them in regard to the number of hogs
likely to be sent to market from their
able time for marketing, and the condi-
ton of the corn crop. OF ninety-seven
points in Illinois, flfty-eight report
a less number of hogs than last
year, and tWenty-seven about the
same number, and twelve more. The
corn crop is universally reported short
in Illinois from one-third to one-half,
OF twenty-one points in Indiana eleven
reported more hogs, seven about the
same number, and three more. The
corn crop is reported better in several
localities, but is generally short. In
Missouri twelve points reported fewer
hogs, eight about the same number, and
three more. The corn crop is short from
one-third to one-half. Ohio makes the
best showing, four points reporting an
increase in the number of hogs, fifteen
about the same number, and eight re-
port decrease, while the average crop
reports show the crop equal to last
year, several points reporting a better
crop than last year Except in Illinois,
the condition of hogs appears 20 be
about the same as at the same time last
year, but at many points in Illinois they
report them as not so far advanced.
The Lake shOs e'' ImbrOgIIO.
New YORK, October 24-The Sun
says some months ago, Horace F. Clark,
president, Aug. Schell, vice-president,
and James II. Banker, treasurer, all of
the Lake Shore company, formed a
pool for operating in the
stock of that corporation. The
capital of the pool was stated at
from nine million to fifteen million dol
lars, and the pool was operated through
George B. Grinnell & Co. With the
approach of the panic railroad shares
began to decline, and as this combina-
ton was heavily laden with Lake Shore,
they were put to their wits to
raised money to keep their margins
good and hold their stocks. Finally, on
an imperative demand from their bro
kers for more money, they, as officers
of the Lake Shore company, called
npon themselves as officers of the
Trust company for bonds held by the
latter company, two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars inamount, which were
taken to Grinnell & Co., who
were authorized to raise the needed
money on them. Commodore Vanderbilt
succeeding Clark in the presidency OF
the Lake Shore road, by legal means
prevented the Union Trust company
from making q transfer of these bonds,
and insisted that the members of the
pool should either replace the
bonds or their equivalent. The bank
has made over to the commodore real
estate valued at seven hundred thou
sand dollars. The commodore has as
sumed Clark's share, and Schell is said
to be doing his best to make good his own.
