LIPTON'S PORK CORNER.
Sailed Swine Advanced to $40 at the
Close of Business Yesterday.

By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Chicago, Oct. 31.-The elimination
of the October pork corner, controlled
by Sir Thomas Upton, came to-day
when pork for delivery this day ad-
vanced 50, rising on less than dozen
trades to $40 at the close to-day.
Shorts who had held off until the
last moment boosted the price to $40.
1t was said that Sir Thomas could
have made the price 500 as well as $50,
but he declared he had no intention of
squeezing" anybody.
AS a result of his deal here Upton
is believed to have made $350,0OO. There
were only $4,000 barrels of pork that
could be delivered and the English
man owned them all, as we'll as twice
that number bought from people who
did not have barrel they could de-
liver. When the price reached $1,000
some time ago, the majority of shorts
thought it time to buy some of the
pork they had contracted to deliver
at approximately $11.00 per barrel dur
ing October. Numerous private set
Elements are said to have been made
SO that while bearish spectators in
pork have received some painful finan-
cial injuries the wounds have not been
mortal. A private settlement of one
thousand barrels was made near the
end of the session, Lipton's represen-
tative allowing belated short to take
that amount at $500 per barrel, as
suring the buyer that at the close the
price would be $4,000. That he knew
whereof he spoke was made plain to
everybody later. for as the closing bell
sounded shorts were shouting bids of
$4,000.
