IN MERCANTILE CIRCLES

A Good Trade Is in Progress, Especially in
Breadstuffs, Groceries, Poultry Vege-
tables and Heavy ClOthing-Very Little
Change in Quotations-Crop Notes.
THURSDAY, Oct. G.
The lower temperature is having bene-
fetal effect on the merchandise markets.
Trade generally is showing more snap in all
lines, the movement in groceries, bread
stuffs, vegetables. poultry and fall and
winter clothing being especially good. As
rule prices remain unchanged. Sugar is
shade easier, however, and flour in car
load lots on track is quoted lower.
The New York State Grape Growers
syndicate refuses to shade prices and the
market holds steady despite excessive sup
plies. Sales must be made ut the prices
Chicago house says of corn and oats:
"The feeling is gaming ground that these
markets have seen the lowest points they
arc likely to touch for some time. They
have been bought freely by the better and
more conservative class of traders in the
expectation that the big interior movement
will soon subside and that close inspection
will show the maturing corn crop to be in
poorer condition than is generally sup
posed"
This phenomenal weather has matured all
crops in Iowa Early planted corn on we'll
drained land Is nearly dry enough to crib,
and in quantity and quality is fully up to
the average. The total yield will fall below
the average by the reduced acreage and the
unfavoraDle conditions attending planting
and cultivation in fields subjected to an ex-
cess OF moisture.
The woolen mills are earning larger profits
than ever before, and have taken fully Is
per cent more wool since June than during
the same four months last year. Why wool
should be cheaper under these conditions
instead OF dearer is hard question to solve.
New ENGLAND and province reports still
note a very firm market for mackerel. Shore
fish, in fisherman's ORDER running medium
No. 2and under, is still bringing sl6 in the
Gloucester market.

times but the offerings were not sufhcient
to break the market. The October stuff wa :
largely neglected with the big buying all
of hogs and the january pork low relatively
and a big snort interest were talked OF as
the chief causes of the unusual advance.
To-day brought a good many dispatches
from the country conflrmatory Of reports as
to the damaging effects of the dry weather
on the fall sown heat, and these gave the
market a strong opening; but easier cables,
liberal receipts in the Northwest and free
deliveries at primary points soon took the
edge OF the market and there was some de-
cline, but the mafSet seemed pretty stub
born and did not yield much. Clearances.
than yesterday. Elevator men gave it out
that Kansas City shippers were sending
much less wheat.
The corn trade appears to be pretty well
The movement to market continues very
heavy, but is partly offset by liberal with
crawals. Some authorities call the crop
safe, while others say that many sections
have soft corn, needing another week or
two of fine weather. These conflicting
claims keep the trade in doubt
Oats were almost stationary and feature
less.

PORK ADVANCES SHARPLY.
Closely Followed by Ribs and Lard-Grain
Closes Strong,

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-The pork market got a
great lift to-day. 1t was the leading market
on the floor for activity and strength. The
strong feeling was shown by jump of
about l0c at the opening. This was followed
by further advance of zoe early, and after
some reaction a later bulge put the January
price up nearly Soc over the close yesterday.
At the same time January ribs were ad-
vanced 171ac over last night and lard l2l&c.
Grain lacked animation. but had firmer
tone ana closed at nearly the best prices for
she day, the final figures compared with lat
night showing gain of Nc for wheat and
Nc for corn. Wright. who has the short rib
deal for october, began buying January
pork heavily. 1t was on his purchases OF
10000 barrels that the first sharp advance
was made. Later there was buying, prob
ably on stop orders, BY logan, Baldwin,
Champlin and others. There was also buy
ing Tor the country. Ryan was buying in
what was thought to be short pork. The
packers were sellers of pork at different

BoTH sIDEs cLAIM VICTORY.
Difference of Opinion ON the Status Of
the Homestead strike.

Difference Of Opinion ON the Status Of
the Homestead strike.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. l3-Today both
hdes are claiming victory. The strikers
still maintain that the company has failed
10 skillfully operate its plant with nonunion
men. In support OF this argument they
point TO the fact that very little material
has been shipped from the mill since the
Inauguration of the strike. On this point
Treasurer Caches, of the advisory board,
iaid 10 a United Press reporter: III the
company is really making good steel why
ioes il not ship some OF itl When il does
send ont material made by its present forco
IF workmen-m material that has passed in
pcction-then aud not till then will we be-
gin TO wink the other eye.n
Superintendent Potter was seen few
minutes later When told what Treasurer
3aches had said he smiled and replied:
Wen, it's about time FOR him to begin
winking We have shipped twelve cai-
oads OF material tins week, and every
pound of it was made by our new men.
Mr.. Potter then went ON 20 say that his
present force Of men are doing wonderfully
satisfactory work; in fact, the smoothness
With which everything Is being run has
mrprised him greatly Six departments
,re now running full time, double turn.
The 40-inch beam mill was started and
operated without hitch or break
But the strikers viii not believe Mr. Pot
Ter, neither viii they accept as true the &C.
counts written by newspaper men who visit
.he men daily. They believe, or try to
make themselves believe, that 1t is impossi-
Die for nonunionists to an the positions the
ltrikers deserted more than a month ago.
During the past week many OF the men who
we're conspicuous figures around the strik-
srs headquarters have mysteriously disap-
peared. A United Press man asked some Of
The strikers what had become OF their for
ner companions and received this reply:
aOh, those fellows have gone back to work.
Il was impossible for them 70 be men; they
got scared and deserted This, coming from
he strikers themselves, is a direct contra
fiction Of Vice Chairman Crawford's Oft re-
9eated statement that less than half dozen
If the old men have returned TO work
Hugh ODonnell, Burgess McLucke and
r. II. Brown have left for Boston ODon.
iell, it is said, will remain in the east sew
sral weeks. In spite of all the reports to
he contrary, there is a disposition on the
,art Of some Of the members Of the advisory
board to keep ODonnen from resuming his
place at the head Of that body.
