erations were entirely suspended. The
weather during the week was fair and
warm in the central latitude, and farmers
have about ceased to discuss the
subject of damage to corn from
frost; in fact some of them
wish for moderate frosts to quicken the
drying out Of corn to make it available for
feeding. Complaints are made in few
sections of sickness in hogs, but live stock
receivers say the proportion of sick stock
arriving in market is as small as usual.
There is always more or less of sickness at
this season from change of feed to i'm
mature corn. The season has been favor
able for the saving Of course feed, and
there is abundance of it. The estimated
probabilities of the yield of corn, sug
gested six weeks ago by the GLOBE, is be-
ing more generally accepted. and there is
no longer room for reasonable
doubt of crop of 1,S00.O00,0OO
bushels, or SO per cent. more
than last year, and an increase over any
previous year. But this large corn crop
must be given little time to get in the
proverbial work of large crop of hogs.
It will do it on time. Meanwhile farmers
will receive high premium on their early
maturing stock, and will obtain such pric-
es Within the. next thirty days, as they
will probably not realize at any subsequent
time within the remainder of the present
century. That the winter packing may
closely approach or equal that of last year
is being rendered more and more likely by
the holding back process now
prevalent in the supplies of hogs, Since
March the packing has reached total of
100000 against 4,165,O00 year ago
a falling off of 1,345,O00 hogs.
THE SHOOTING OF COL. sLAYBAcK
at St. Louis was subject of conversation
on the outskirts of the various pits on the
board and in the alley. His brother, from
his prominent connection with the grain
and provision interests of the West, is per-
sonally or by reputation known to all OPP
orators, and much sympathy is felt for
him. The shooting was generally denounc-
ed, being regarded as unprovoked, and
Cockrell considered as deserving of severe
punishment.
RECEIPTS AND SHIPMENTS.
The arrivals of wheat to-day amounted
to but 1906 bushels, and for the week,
64O,624 bushels, while the shipments for
the week were 776,O69 bushels, against
1881 bushels year ago. Corn makes
worse showing, the weeks receipts aggre-
eating only 1902 bushels. while for the
same period in 1881 they were 2.11S.551
bushels. The shipments during the week
were 9S5,521 bushels. Other grain mar
kets make a correspondingly small showing.
The South reports an unprecedented
acreage and yield of corn, and
growing conviction that this crop is
relatively as profitable or more SO than
cotton. Texas is particularly rapid in in
creasing its production. Great things
may be predicted of this parfof the coun-
try in the future in the culture of this pro-
duct.
Seine of the boys in the provision crowd
were yesterday felicitating themselves that
they have got Armour short on November
pork. Did they ever try to catch weasel
asleep?
A gold brick, weighing about sixty
pounds and worth some $4,000, was ex-
hibited on change yesterday by S. D. Foss.
He would find it awkward to carry it in his
hat.
Rus-in-,rbc is the rule now, judging
from the attendance in the gallery on
Change. The hotel registers attest the
sa me truth.
