November, which shows difference in
feeling in the two places. In receipts there
was an increase of about 100 cars from ar
rivals on Saturday. October opened at 4711Sc
&c Off from Saturdays close, advanced to
4Sc, declined to 1919 and rallied at the

''The crowd seems to think" said c. j. Ker-
shaw, ''that the September corn clique had a
vast deal of trouble getting rid of its corn and
that now it has lnloaded with big loss. be-
lisye the clique got out of corn long agoand that
IL got out at handsome profit. l remember
weeks ago, when September corn was sailing,
when everybody had turned bull and when selling
was considered too rash to indulge, that few
brokers sold tremendously at 51G52c, and kept
selling on mp. thought at the time that the
clique was cautiously providing place for its
cash corn and am convinced of it now. You
know how it is always is he continued, ''There
never was corner run yet where outsiders did
not believe it was to extend from month to
month and where some Outsiders did not oegln
buying as the original holders began selling"
Lindbom expressed his opinion of the situa-
ton as follows: considerable mystery hovers
round the corn clique, but when the history is
written it will be found that it is backed by
wealthy novices in trade and that Armour has
had no connection with it directly or indirectly
except that those running it may have solicited
his advice about il. l would not like to say
that the deal s over, but it looks
like 1t. Year corn is cheap and probably safe to
buy"
OafS f-al lin r
was not very active, there was slight i'm
provement in prices, the close for October
being at 251Sc, against % &c Saturday, and
for May 2sIsc, against 2S9lc.
Speculation in provisions was fair, but the
feeling was somewhat unsettled and prices
fiuctuated considerably within a narrow
range. Foreign advices indicated a steadier
feeling in lard, which was quoted Sd higher,
but other articles were unchanged. The
shipping demand was light. Liberal re-
ceipts of hogs caused weak feeling early
and lower prices were accepted on all lead
ing descriptions, but later the feeling was
somewhat steadier, although the close was
rather tame. October pork remains I'M
changed at SIG. Year pork fell zoe from
Saturdays close to S1f.55, but rallied to a
close of S11.7G. Lard was easier during most
of the day, but October, which opened
~ off at s7.O71l, rallied towards the close
and the last figures, S7.15, were sc better
than on Saturday. Ribs were in light de-
mand and prices easy, the close showing a
drop from Saturday OF re in October, to
S9.421S and of 20c in November to 81.
Among the fresh receipts Of cattle there
were 274 cars of Texans and range stock.
Under the very light receipts prices ruled a
strong 1O@15c higher than on Satur-
day on all fat cattle either
natives or ranges. There were q
large number Of good through Texans that
would suit the canning trade, and, as before
remarked, were generally quoted 10@15c
higher than on Saturday. There were also
large number of fine northwestern and
western rangers that were reported 1O@15c
higher. Business, however, was rather SLOW
The hog market opened somewhat irregu-
lar, yet the average showed little
or no change. There was a steady
demand for an hour or two,
or until. after it was known that the down
town and board of trade markets were rather
lower, when the demand fell off and the gen.
eral market closed rather weak. large
number Of contracts to fair packers sold
round about S4.7594.S0, and the best pack
ers at about s4.90@5.10, while the best heavy
made S5.20@5.25, and fancy heavy and Phil
adelphias S5.2O@5.35. Light sorts were
neglected and dull, the best rating only
about s4.90@5.10, and from these figures
down to s4.5O@4.SO.
