come, and before the close of the month too,
when those who are short this product will
want to cover and there will be nothing for
sale. That condition of things is all that
is needed to make little panic in the pro-
vision pit here at Chicago. The decline to-
day was 715@10c, November closing at $3.50
and January at S7.25. Very little was doing
in ribs, which closed 10c lower at $3.50 for
October and 81 so for November.
There was large increase in receipts of
cattle and hogs as compared with the CORE
spending day last week. The receipts of
cattle will nearly reach the largest on record,
and are largely made up on range stock from
Texas and the northwest. Prime native
cattle were scarce and would sell for almost
any price asked. There was also a meager
supply of fair to good natives, and they sold
at strong prices. Range stock, however, may
be quoted from 15925c lower than last week.

BRITISH GRAIN TRADE.

LONDON, Oct. 13.-The Mark Lane Express
in its weekly review of the corn trade, SAYS:
Weather stormy and unusually cold. The
rainfall has improved the seed beds for the
cropof 1885, but has prevented threshing
thus lessening the farmers deliveries and
enabling the sellers to maintain their rates
Sales of English wheat the past week were
I3, 36S quarters at S2s, 81, against II. O6O
quarters at 40s, Sd, for the correspon ding
week last year. Trade in foreign wheats is
slow. Waterside stocks increased compared
with 1888, but the floating bulk is decreasing
owing to the action of American and Russian
exporters. Cargoes of coast not improved
There were seven arrivals, three cargoes
withdrawn, three sold, including two Ameri-
can; fifteen cargoes overdue Wheat on
passage dull; prices above buyers views flour
quiet and steady; increase on imports and
checks trade; maize scarce and higher; bar
ley steady; oats firmer snd 81 higher

President Harris interviewed.

NEW YORK, Oct. BIN regard to the
trouble between the merchants Of Portland,
Oregon, aud the Northern Pacific railroad.
President Harris said he had nothing to say
on the subject until he communicated with
the gentlemen of the Portland board OF trade
with whom he had the interview referred to-
We always have more or less complaint from
some one. Every man who does not prosper
quite 50 we'll as his neighbOr takes it into his
head to fnd fault and if there's a chance to
blame the railroad be is sure to do so. II is
absurd to suppose that could have guaran-
teed Portland merchants rates so low as to
enable them to compete with New York man
ufacturers. How could 1 know whether
Portland could compete with New York!
