but offerings are light.
The pork market is higher and frmer,
with October leading in the advance
movement. In this future the days ap-
probation based on yesterdays closing
quotation on change amounted to 30c.
November and the several winter futures
were also better, though the advance was
confined to 5@1Oc. General specu-
lation was quite active. Cash
pork was quoted at the
ruling prices for Oct, closing at $21.55@
216O. On call the feeling wasn't so strong.
Lard shared in the activity manifested
by pork, Oct.) selling up 1211s cents, bat
was weaker en- call.
Is said to be carefully working up his
deal in Oct. lard, and to be reaching out
and securing everything sold on that op-
ton. This is having bullish influence on
the market, and the big rise to-day, max
ing nearly twenty cents advance since We'd
nesday, is greatly exciting lard.
THoMPsoN's DEBTS.
1t has transpired that Mark S. Thomp-
son, a prominent citizen and well
known business man, whose mysteri-
Gus disappearance was noted in the
GLOBE several days ago, left town in debt
to the amount of between $4,000 and
$4,000. Mr.. Thompson was, not many
years ago, the senior partner IN one of the
most prosperous ice firms of the city, and
when the larger firms were merged into
the Washington Ice company. or the con-
solidated ice companies, as the organiza-
ton was often called, Mr.. Thompson was
elected vice president. He filed the posi-
tion most ably, but apparently could not
content himself upon a salary and so took
to specializing. He was recently very
heavy loser in both grain and pork, and
when the latter commodity finally reached
maximum short time ago, Mr.. Thompson
found himself landed high and dry,
some $4,000 or $4,000 in
debt. He had some assets
exactly how much is not known, nsr does
it scarcely matter, now that he has so mys-
reriously disappeared. In his business
transactions Mr.. Thompson as vice pres
ident of the Washington Ice company had
almost unlimited credit. He had long
been known as a dabbler in grain and
stocks. and his credit had never beon ques-
toned. The amount of his Indebtedness
was not less than $4,000 and not more
than $4,000. Already suits have been
brou ght by the Union National bank on
behalf of Kinston & Kaiser for $1,000, and
B. Davenport d Co. for $625 against
Thompson, in the hope that something
may be realized from his estate. Nearly
all the firms which find
themselves in the lurch are
fully able to stand the loss, and Alexander
Gerdes & Co. who lose about $4,000 and
are heavier losers by far than any of the
others, are one of the oldest and most
substantial firms in the city. The family
about his sudden disappearance, it is said,
as any of his creditors. No trace has
been found of him since his sudden de-
parture was frst mentioned by the GLOBE,
and it is feared that he may have taken
his own life. His creditors, however, en-
tertain different opinion.
TIs INJUNCTION oAsBs.
The counsel in tho board of trade in
junction cases before Judge Gardner was
. good deal troubled this morning
over a division of time. The Judge
goes to the criminal court next Monday
and has enough unfinished business out
side of the injunction motion to employ
him for two days. Judge Lawrence asked
that argument might be closed at 10
o'clock to-day, and that he might be given
the hour from II to 1 to answer the many
hours of argument that the sother side
would then have had. He said he was
there under compulsion, and he didn't
want the motion to run over to the next
term. He said he had opposed the delay
of the case to this week in the first in
stance. The other side retorted that the
delay from last Tuesday to Thursday was
made at Mr.. Goudy's suggestion. Mr..
Goudy repelled the charge, and said
it was by common consent.
Mr.. Hates said it was indispensable that
he should be heard for Lester d Co. Mr..
Jewett, Mr.. Fuller and Mr.. Burke all had
suggestions to make, and evinced desire
to prolong the argument into the next
term. The judge cut the dispute short by
telling them to go On with the argument,
and that he did not know yet what he
would do about it. He would tell them
one thing. however. They were throwing
their time away by laboring to vindicate
their clients. The question before him
was very plain point of law, and every
thing outside of that would have no
effect whatever on him. Mr..
Robert Hervey, whose business the
Judge had promised to attend to this morn
ing, asked the court when he would be
heard, and the judge produced some laugh
ter by answering that he would prob
ably hear him on Sunday. Mr.. Burke then
furnished his citations, and Mr.. Fuller be-
gan his argument. At late hour this
afternoon a decision was still some dis
tance in the future.
HIGH CHURCHISM.
