THE CELEBRATION.
The Merchants Want the Date
Changed.

Those interested in pushing forward
the preparations for the Decennial
Celebration are showing much activity
and tho affairs of the different com
mittees are rapidly assuming form. The
military committee has held meeting
and made definite arrangements for the
weeks encampment of the Second Vir-
ginia regiment and accomplished other
detailed work. The committee of engi-
neers and architects reported to the
executive committee yesterday the de-
tailed plans it has prepared for suita-
Bile floats in the parade.
Yesterday afternoon the following
petition was presented to the executive
committee:
I'VE, the undersigned citizens and
merchants of Roanoke who feel deep
interest in the success of tho approach
ing celebration of the tenth year of our
existence as city, beg to call the at
tention of the above committee to the
fact that the date selected for the cele-
bration, viz, Juno IS, will be on Satur-
day, and then, in con sequence, the visi-
tors Will not have full opportunity of
visiting all the points of interest they
could, or would have If any other day
was selected.
your petitioners would suggested that
postponement until Tuesday, June %,
would be more suitable to all concerned,
and would further urge that the pro-
gramme be so arranged as to spread over
part of two days, viz: June 22nd and
23rd instead of crowded into one."
This petition was signed by SIS citizens
and merchants.
Chairman James S. Simmons has Or
dercd the following call to be issued:
"a meeting OF tho general committee
of the Roanoke Decennial celebration
will be held in the rooms of the Com
mercial Associa ton on Friday, June 3,
at p. m, to take into consideration the
above petition"
If the celebration is postponed until
the following week the services of the
Machine Works Band cannot be sc cured,
as it has an engagement to play at
Hampden- Sidney for the first four DAYS
in that week.
The finance committee has been can
vassing the town for subscriptions with
fair success. The com mittee wa divided
into sub committees to work special
territory, but each solicitor canvassed
any part of the city without regard to
assignment.
The following list was turned in last
night. Some of the members have not
yet reported:

TRADE Is LARGE,

Running Ahead of Former Years and a Con-
tinued Brisk Movement Is Expected
Farmers Prospering and Railroads Max
ing Plenty of fMoney-Revised Prices.
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 16.
General trade continues to show a marked
Improvement over former years and brisk
movement is expected from wholesale hands
until the quietude natural to the closing
days of year sets in. The farmers are get
ting good prices for their hogs, the supply
of which seems to be quite limited, but
prices for grain are ruling extremely low.
Wheat was firmed up late last week on the
Government crop report for November. Ac-
cording to this report the yield of wheat
will not exceed 5O0,000,000 bushels, which
is falling off of 19, ,O0O0 900 bushels from the
previous estimate. The corn crop figures
indicated q yield of 1880, 100000 bushels, or
about 80, 0O0. 900 bushels less than indicated
month ago. Farmers have been in great
hurry to market their grain, and the enor-
nous and rapidly increasing stocks at the
primary markets have enabled "bear" spec
ulators to put down prices. Cattle values
are beginning to do better now that the re-
ceipts from the ranges are falling OF. The
season for receiving Western range cattle is
nearly over. Montana and Dakota cattle
nave SOlu lTOIl 10 Sl per lUU pOunuS lower
than year ago, while Wyomings have real
lied nearly as much. Cattle are entering
winter quarters in good flesh, while feed is
abundant all over the ranges. The railroads
are making q great deal OF money, the de-
mand for freight cars being in excess of the
supply.
The New York Fruit Trade Journal, writing |
OF the apple situation under date OF Canon |
daigua, November II, says: Many leading |
houses OF Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Kansas |
City, etc.. have their representatives here,
and for the present the Atlantic Coast cities |
are.not able to pull on Western New York. |
Prices prevailing for fruit f. o. b. range |
from So 35 to 81 30 for mixed cars of Bald |
wins mostly, and few mixed varieties. |
Kings are strong at s. 90 to $3 25 per barrel. |
Greenings at 81 so to 50 Is. The enormous |
amount of fruit going West docs not seem |
to slacken the demand, and orders pour in |
daily on the prominent shippers here from |
points in Texas, and such far West points as
Ogden, Utah, and Albuquerque, N. NJ. The
stock around the country is very thor
oughly brought up, so that O falling Off of |
dema nd tn-the West will not cause any de-
cline in present f. o. b. prices.
If the weather continues mild the prices
of Thanksgiving turkeys will rule high, as
not so many will be dressed for market us if |
q low temperature prevailed.

EVERYTHING HIGHER.
A Fight on Between the Packers and the
Bull Clique.


CHICAGO, Nov. Is Ignoring comrletelv
European influences, all the markets TODAY
went screnely upward. Compared with
last nights figures wheat this evening is &c
higher, corn lc higher, oats 5zc up, and the
provision list made good advances also.
Receipts were smaller locally than expect
ed by about 80 cars, there was good buying
not much was for sale and shorts seemed to
consider il prudent to cover. The believers
in higher-priced wheat got q good deal of
encouragement in the steady decrease in
tine interior deliveries as pretty sure indi-
cation that the visible has about reached
the turning point. However, Brudstree q
reported an increase in the available supply
last week of 2.774, 900 bushels east of the
Rockies and S56,U ,U0O bushels increase on the
Pacific coast, a total increase of $3.50, 600
bushels.
: Corn was influenced chiefly by the better
feeling in wheat and liberal covering by
shorts.
Receipts were about 25 cars more than had
been estimated. but had little effect on val
ues as the buying was good all through the
session.
oats were quiet but firm; the local receipts
were only l2S cars, and the market also felt
the effect of the frmness in the other pits.
Hog products were strong and higher A
very pretty fight is apparently on in the
provision market between the large pack
ers of hog products and the clique of specu-
lators who ran the October corner in ribs.
The clique in order to carry their deal
through without q break were forced to take
large quantities of product during the clos
ing DAYS of the deal from the packers who
loaded the clique up at fancy prices with ali
the stuff they could put together. The re.
suit was q large accumulation of old product
in the hands of the clique. Cudahy and his
associates have been persistent bulls of
late apparently for the purpose of strength
ening prices so as to permit the
unloading of old product, while the big
packers have been decided bears. Armour
announces himself emphatically as bear
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-11-17

He says: 'T would no more touch this pro-
duct at these prices than 1 would a rattle
snake. We are killing good many hogs.
All of them are going into consumption as
fresh meats; not one of them is being cured
and put in the cellar. There is general
sentiment that hog product at this range is
not safe. And sentiment has wonderful
lot to do with deciding things, and it GER
tainly is fact that consumers are eating up
the old pofS and the old meats at the low
price rather than new meats at =, the e. nigh l,i
parently had its effect on hog receipts TINS
week, the receipts for the first half being
nearly double the number recorded last
week-the totals being 95. s5f as against 81, ,O6I
The large receipts tend to strengthen the
position of the big packers, who are en-.
deavoring to weaken the hold of Cudahy and
his followers on the market.

Pacific was depressed by reports that the

Otherwise there were no new developments
calculated to affect the market either way.

ception of the Reading issues, which de-

The only stock which showed any back
