OCIETY-THURsDAY'S ATTENDANCE

LARGEST FAIR IN THE HISTORY OF THR
OCIETY-THURSDAY'S ATTENDANCE
OUR THoUsAND-FINE WEATHER
SPLENDID ITS-INTERESTING
RING EVRNTs-PREMIuMs.
1t was New Sharon's thirteenth an
nual fair, and the successful result of
the four days exhibition was proof
enough that thirteen is not an unlucky
number for our neighbors to the north.
The weather. which started out cool
on Tuesday, proved to be bright and
exhilarating throughout, and added to
the erj 'yment of the week. The en-
tries showed many new exhibitors this
year, and in 8n departments were well
up to the bt st Mahaska standard. Es.
pecially were the exhibits excellent in
swine, vegetables. the psntry and fine
arts, while the race track had thirty
Eve good horses on hand and showed
some intsr sting work. The attend
ance on Wednesday was about tbous-
and, but on Thursday four the ussnd
people were there, and counted for the
society the largest day in its history
THE PREMIUMS:

HOG PRODUCTS HIGHER,
But the Cereals Close Without Shown,
Any Important Change.

CHICAGO, Nov h.-Hog products scared ma.
jestically skyward to-day. Tonight, CON-
pared with last evening, pork is up 321c,
lard, zoe, and short ribs l5c. The grain mar
kets averaged higher. but closed without
much change since yesterday.
Considerable excitement attended the
trading in provisions. The receipts of hogs
at the yards were under the estimates at
"a O0O and shorts made vigorous efforts to
cover. The returns of the packing of the
West for the week showed a reduction of
eOG, 600 hogs. This was offset by n reduction
in the export movement of products, which
for the past week amounted to Is, I77OO0 as
against 90. Joe, 900 pounds last year. At the
imnrovement in prices there was q little
more property for sale, and prices settled
hack slightly, though the market exhibited
considerable firmness at the close, with
moderat te quantities again selling at outside
figures.
With wet weather expected to curtail the
receipts, stronger cables and good buving
rbe early trading was easily at an advance
on last nights close in wheat, but ithe local
REGENTS were in excess of the estimate and
Pardrjdre sold freely and hammered the
market wiping out all the gain. Then when
the Cincinnati ETice Currents crop summary
came I'm saying that the interior deliveries
were falling off at rate which indicated
that the visible supply was rapidly nearing
the maximum the market again turned
strong, The liberal exports from the sea-
board amounting to 462, 600 bushels of wheat
and $4,000 barrels OF flour, also proved
strong factor while the market was further
helped by the strength in corn and provi-
sions.
Corn started higher, influenced by the
frmness in wheat and the wet weather,
which was liable to cut on deliveries, but
the receipts were In excess OF the estimates.

INFORMATION FOR PATTIsoN.
State Board of Charities Getting Read,
for the Legislature.

State Board of Charities Getting Ready
for the Legislature.
James B. Scott went to Philadelphis last
evening to attend meeting of the Board Of
Charities and the Lunacy Committee.
Governor Pattison has asked the board for
information to make the recommendation
needed in his message to the Legislature.
Since the last session q farm was bought
and buildings are being erected for q per-
manent home for the State insane. Mr.
Scott said he had received applications for
aid from number of the charitable insti-
tutlons in Western Pennsylvania. He put
them in a box until ne has time to look
over them, so that he was unable to say
how the requests compared with those
made two years ago.
SIN the last Legislature, said Mr.. Scott,
''the farmers were in the saddle, and as Q
measure of relief for them the school ap-
preparations were increased from 81, ,000, 900
to $4,000 000 making SO, 900 for the
two years. This practically gave the in
terror counties their schools for nothing.
My impression is that the granger element
will not be SO strong in the coming Legis-
lature. 1t may be possible that the school
appropriations will be reduced little Oy-
Ing to the demand made on the State
revenues the applications for aid
were considerably cut. The board will go
over the applications in a short time, and
prepare its report Tor the Legislature. The
trouble with US is that we are working In
the dark. We haven't any idea how much
money is at the disposal of the State, and
the Treasurer is not in position to en-
Tighten U.s."

Effects of the Election on Pig Tin and Tin
Plate.

Effects Of the Election on Pig Tin and Tin
Plate.
NEW YORK, Nov. H.-[SpeciaLl-A special
cable to the Iron Age says: In pig iron war
rants there has been some upward move
ment in prices, Scotch selling to Ais / I'D,
Cleveland 56s 1014d ana hematite to 46s 1919.
The report that stocks have decreased to
352, 600 tons Scotch and $1,000 tons Cleveland
pig, had some effect in promoting the better
feeling. Pig tin has dropped l5@l7s Sd dur
ing the week under the Influence of returns
confirming the election of the Democratic
candidate for President. The selling was
chiefly of futures, but buyers OF cash lots
have steadily followed the markets with
purchases instead of sales and absorbed con-
siderable outside stock. This intermediate
unloading, it is figured, places stocks in
fewer hands than before.
The tin plate market has shown greater
strength, due chiefly to the result of the
elections in the States. There has
been some pressure to sell on the part of the
holders of old iron, and among other quota
tions as low as sos has been made on fange
rails.

WHISKY QUITE FRISKY
Leading All the Other Stocks in Point
Of Activity.
EVERYTHING ADVANCES EARLY,
But Reaction Follows and the Market
Closes Weak.
RAILROAD BONDS GENERALLY STRONG

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE stock mar
ket, though irregular in the early trad
ing, was in the main higher. The advance
in the leading railway shares was equal to
1s9sS per cent, but some of the specialties
scored much greater Improvement. Dis
tilling and Cattle Feeding sold up 12s;
Canadian Pacific, a; Duluth, South Shore
and Atlantic, q for the common and 3 for
the preferred; Edison Illuminating, rs and
Ohio Southern, 4per cent.
The upward movement in prices drought
very little increase of business and the lack
of enthusiasm on the bull side finally IN
duced the bes rs to make a vigorous demon
etratlon against the list. Omaha common
fell off ~ per cent to 49lZ. The remainder
spite the FOUNDING bT "a II the bears and
the marketing OF quantity OF
long stock. The strength of sterling ex-
change, which led to some very strong talk
about exports of gold in the near future, was
used with some effect against the market:
On the other hand, however, it is to be noted
that banks and trust companies are placing
their funds freely on time at rates lower
than those current of late. The 1ndustr1als,
If anything, received better support than
the railway list. There was heavy purchas-
ing of Distilling and Cattle Feeding for both
local ana Western account, and the STOCK
led all others in point OF activity. The mar
ket closed weak.
sales were Sl,43O,0OO. Atchison bonds were
weak. The Reading bonGs were weaker.
Albany and Susquehanna consol 6s rose to

Europe bought few stocks at the opening
and were sellers of Reading stocks and
bonds on a rumor current abroad that the
road would default on the interest on the
second and third income bonds. This rumor
is no doubt false, but still some bonds were
thrown overheard for London account. The
exchange market has been very strong of
late, and about / o'clock they started ru-
NOR that about Sl,0O0,O0U gold was to go for
ward. We have asked several bankers and
they tell us that the exchange market is
very firm, but as far as they can see no gold
will be shipped this week If any gold ship
ments go forward, it would have a bad effect
here as the community at large are not ac-
customed to seeing gold shipped at this |

PIG IRON STEADY.
Billets Quiet, Structural Iron Dull and the
Pipe Trade Active.

NEW YORK, Nov. H.-[Specidl. 1.-The Iron
Age says: Pig iron is steady in all the lead
ing markets.. but is quiet so far as new
transactions are concerned. Buyers have
well covered and sellers are comfortably Off
for orders. Billets have been quiet with
further reports of good prices paid for spot
stock. Muck bars are showing an easier
tendency in Eastern Pennsylvania, but are
reported as being steady and quite active in
the Pittsburg district. Eastern steel rail
mills record the first moderate sized trans
action for some time. and the Chicago mills
claim to be we'll supplied with ORDERS Tor
some time to come. Bars are weakening a
little in the Eastern and in the Chicago mar
kets. Structural iron and steel are dull in all
sections SO far as new business is concerned.
The pipe trade has received some very good
orders lately and shows considerable activ-
fty, with possibility of some advance in
the price,

AIRBRAKE IS STRONG
And Lustre Mining Company Shows
Something Akin to Strength.
NEARLY ALL OTHERS ARE WEAK
Under the Lead of Electric. Wheeling Gas

DULLNESS STILL A PROMINENT FEATURE
THURSDAY, Nov. II.

THURSDAY, Nov. II.
The market for local securities to-day
was as dull and uninteresting as thrice
told tale. It was also weak, what trad
ing there was being at lower prices gener-
ally ana the quotations established by bids
rejecting lack of support in nearly every
thing on the list The only items in which
anything approximating strength was wit
messed were Westinghouse Airbrake and
Luster Mining Company. Airbrake was
undoubtedly legitimately strong, but any
one who knows anything at all about the
market knows that Lustre is very peculiar
stock. One OF its peculiarities is the ease
with which it responds to light bidding one
day and equally as light offerings the next.
One day it is apparently strong; the next 1t
has q very bad attack of blind staggers.
There is no such thing as sizing 1t up COR
rectly. Electric LED in the weakness, fol-
active list, though only in Electric second
preferred, Wheeling Gas and T. & B. traction
were there any noteworthy declines.
Wheeling Gas sold at l7A, the lowest point
touched in some time: Westinghouse Elec-
trio second preferred sold off full point at
81; Luster sold at 9N, closing at 91s@91;
Westinghouse Electric scrip sold at 80 per
cent, and P. & B. traction sold down to 24L,
with more offered at the same price.
The unlisted street railway securities
closed as follows: P. & B. traction, 241s@24l4;
