November, which shows a difference in
feeling in the two places. In receipts there

''The crowd seems to think" said G. j. Ker-
shaw, THAT the September corn clique had
vast deal OF trouble getting rid OF It's corn ana
that now 1t has unloaded with n big loss. be-
lievc the clique got out of long ago and that
II got out at a 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 5l@52c, and kept
selling on up, thought at the time that the
Clique was cautiously providing place for It's
eash corn aud am convinced OF 1t now. 'iou
know howit is always is, he continued, ''Ihere
never was corner run yet where outsiders dld
not believe it was to extend from month to
month and where some Outsiders did not begin
buying as the original holders began selling.
Lindblom 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 1t is backed by
wealthy noviccs 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 it, l would not like TO say
that the deal is over, but 1t looks
like 1t. Year corn is cheap and probably safe to
buy

was not very active, there was slight i'm
provement in prices, the close for October
being at 2515c, against 25 &c Saturday, and
fer May 2Sisc, against 2634c.
Speculation in provisions was fair, but the
feeling was somewhat unsettled and prices
fuctuated considerably within narrow
range Foreign advices indicated 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 wa:
somewhat stesdier, although the close wa:
rather tame. OctocScr pork remains un
changed at SIG. Year pork fell zoe from
Saturdays close to S11.55, but rallied to
|
of the day, but October, which opened
~ off at s7.o711S, rallied towards the clost
and the last figures, S7.15, were sc bette
than on Saturday. Ribs were in light de
mand and prices easy, the close showing

day on all fat cattle eithe
natives or ranges. There were

higher than on Saturday. There were ais
a large number of fine northwestern ant
western rangers that were reported 10@15
higher Business, however, was rather slow
The hog market opened somewhat irregu
lar, yet the average showed littl
or no change. There was a stead
demand for an hour or two
or until after it was known that the down
town and board of trade markets were rattle
lower, when the demand fell off and the gen
eral market closed rather weak. A larg
number of contracts to fair packers sol
round about s4.75(@4. so, and the best pack
ers at about 81. 9005. 10, while the best heav
made S5.20@5.25, and fancy heavy and Phi
