TO FIGHT A COM BINE
Iron Property Worth s6s, OO0.O Is
Purchased.

Pittsburg, Oct 24.-One of the largest
purchases of iron ore ever made in this
country, and one which will figure in
the future of the United States Steel cor
poration was announced today The pur-
chase was made by the independent steel
firms in and about this city. and is IN
doubtedly the forefunner of great fight
between the independent firms and the
great trust which now controls the steel
trade Of the world.
The purchase was made in the name of
the Clarion Steel company. owned by the
Crucible Steel company OF America and
the Shenango Furnace company, one OF
the largest competitors of the United
States Steel corporation in the blast fur
mace business. \ vast tract of iron lands
in northern Michigan and Minnesota was
purchased. the value approximating S6S-
GOO COO and the product of which viii in
trench the purchasers for a decade
against battle even such as could be
waged by the great trust.
The property consists largely of the
holdings of the Little and Prindle mines
in the Mesaba range. the Howe and Ken
rely property in the Mesaba range of
those OF the Webb Mining company and
the Antoine ore company in the Mar
quette range in Michigan
Among the principal promoters Of this
deal are Henry " oliver and ". 2.
Snyder Of the Crueible Steel company.
When the officials were spoken 10 today
or the subject they admitted that the
deal had been closed. one Of them went

SHIPPERS AND NOTES.

The hog market is not coming dowr
very fast there latter days. 4 good
many people are coming to the conclusion
that hogs are not going TO be very cheap
for some time 10 come.
II you who are reading this want some
good feeders or stockers, you should not
overlook the Wichita market
The thermmeter at the stock yards yes
terday marked 50 degrees and the COM
mission men and the buyers left their
coats and vests in their offices.
he fact Of Dold having q cattle buyer
on the market IS regarded as the best Of
evidence that the new Dold packing house
will soon be in operation. Large bodies
like big packing houses starting move
slowly when getting UP momentum. Give
Fred Dold q little time.
Charles Granville Of Sedgwick and F.
n. Pope Of Argonia- brought in a car load
Of hogs each last evening late that were
held over for today's market. Mr.. Gran
vile was recently down in the state Of
Texas and he says if he ever concludes
70 leave Kansas he IS going 10 Texas to
live. He says the Lone Star state is an
empire within itself and that Texas has
lots of good country. He predicts that
the state VIII gain an immense population
IL the next ten years from immigration.
This market has not been doing much
teen lambs yesterday, Weighing sixty-six
pounds, for 81 90 per hundred
Among the shippers who had hogs on
the market yesterday were: Logan 81
Robson Of Towanda, II. ". Thorp of Ma
rion, F. W. Johnston Of Pond Creek and
Grant < SOoler Of RingWood.
Now, that the Nevling elevator is in
operation, and the Dold packing house
VIII be running in a few days. the agi-
t3tiOn for a switch engine for the pack
ing house district has been revived.
There is business enough in that section
o. the city 10 employ a switch engine
and the stock shippers say that the Wich-
ita market would be all right if they had
the switch engine. They say they lose
more hogs by the cars remaining so long
down town before they are run to the
stockyards than they DO on the road.
There are a great many hogs held over
or sold by lamplight. which is very un-
satisfactory. that would arrive at the
yards in time 10 be sold in daylight if
there was an engine to go after them
Immediately they arrive in the city.

WHEAT AND
CORN LOWER
Trading in Grains Quiet With
a Declining Tendency.
PROVISIONS ARE EASIER
Decline in Price of Hogs
Caused All Day Weakness.

Chicago. Oct. 24-Tradlng on the board
Of trade today was rather quiet and
prices inclined to q lower level. Deem
Der wheat closing 4sd1zc lower, Decem-
Der corn a shade lower and oats 14Q5sc
lower, while January provisions closed
from 5q71ac lower.
Wheat was easy and local bulls disposed
of large part of their holdings. There
was slight firmness early Oh wet
weather in the northwest. with light Of
ferings here. Late heavy selling by COM
mission houses and locals caused a sharp
decline. Reports OF a large increase in
stocks in the northwest had depressing
influence, as did also reports from Ar
gentina, which showed conditions favor
able. December was relatively the
stronger option and opened &c lower TO
sc higher, at 721S4725sc to 72S44729sc. On
the early bulge the price advanced TO 73c,
but declined again, going down TO PIC.
There was a slight rally at the close,
which was 3sG1kc lower, at 72l4c Clear
ances of wheat and flour were equal to
$4,000 bushels Primary receipts were
1.535,S45 bushels. against 1.o6l.S25 year
ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
receipts of f06 cars, which, with local
receipts of 81 cars contract grade
made total receipts for the three points
Of 793 cars. against S74 cars last week
and 797 cars a year ago.
Corn opened unchanged from last
nights close ana during the day the mar
ket was rather erratic. There was a
sharp advance toward the opening, due 20
ScOd buying by cNnmission houses and
provision interests, especially for the De-
cember delivery, but general selling
caused a reaction. Reports from the
southwest of liberal receipts and good
grading gave the incentive to sellers. The
latter part OF the session was weak, with
prices around the low point. but toward
Inc close a rally occurred on covering
by shorts who took profits, and the close
was about steady December closed
shade lower at 515sQ5lMc, after selling
between 51lsc and 5212c Local receipts
were 195 cars, 80 of contract grade
Oats were dull and featureless, with
prices lower in sympathy with weakness
IN other grains. The close was slightly
lower, December closing AGSsc lower. at

HOG MARKET
WAS STEADY
Receipts Were Fairly Good
for a Friday.
TOP PRICE WAS $685.
Cattle Market Steady, but
More Confidence Was Shown.


Hog receipts yesterday were good for
a Friday The gain in prices on Thurs
day was sustained yesterday on the bulk
Of the hogs sold. The opening was weak,
but the buyers wanted the hoes and by
the time they began 10 move over the
scales it was evident that sellers had
succeeded in getting practically the same
prices that prevailed the day before
Cudahy bought the bulk of the hogs
but Armour was a liberal bidder. Sellers
are now able to see that the margin be-
tween this market and Kansas City has
been made considera ply less than ten
days ago and for the past TWO days ship
pers have been satisfied with their sales
Tops yesterday brought 500, and the
bulk Of the car hogs sold for that fig
ure. Buyers showed that they consid-
cred heavy hogs the most valuable.
Heavy rough hogs. however, were quoted
10 to IS cents under smooth heavy and
mixed, while lights we're p to IS cents
under the popular grades. Cudahy
wanted the medium heavy weights, but
Armour was willing to take any weights
at their value. The sale pens were closed
at the usual time Of closing the market,
but two car loads came In late IN the
evening that were held over

WANTED. A BANK.
Millions of Dollars in Deposits Wait
ing For Ii.

Opportunity makes the man. Oppor-
tunity makes the bank. Opportunity
creates bank depositors. If there are 10
banks there can be no depositors. II
there are banks and the opportunity they
offer is limited it will limit the number
Of depositors. There are hundreds of mil
lions Of dollars on deposit in England
which never would have been on deposit
hut for the establishment b. the govern
ment of the postofice savings bank sys-
tenn. At the close OF the year 1874, after
the hard work OF education in savings
had been accomplished, there were S115.-
ISL .Sf5 deposited in the Post Office Saw
ings Bank OF Great Britain. The money
had waited for the opportunity which
the new banking system afforded
Millions Of money have waited a SINH
lar opportunity in America. These mil
wages OF the great army of craftsmen
the country employs. There has hereto
fore been no opportunity Cor them TO de-
post. The banks did not want their bus
mess, because, under existing methods
It could not be handled at profit.
But the opportunity which will reach
these millions of dollars has come at
last, as ii was bound to come in time
The United States Bankers Corpor-
alton has secured control of the Eco
nomic Banking System, by which small
deposits can be handled at a large profit
The system has the approval Of emf
nent fnanciers. among them John G. Car
Isle ex-secretary of the treasury. who
figures in the directory of the corpora
ton. and is also its general counsel.
The United States Bankers Corpor-
alton will organize trust and deposit
banks in forty OF the leading cities of the
United States The cities are selected.
The work of organization is being rap
idiy pushed.
Each trust company organized and
established by the corporation viii oper-
ate the Economic System of banking
This system appeals to everybody. To
the depositors because il gives them priv
neges which can be given under no other
banking system. To merchants because
it increases trade and reduces risk and
less in business. To employers Of labor
because it promotes economy and thrift
and develops business habits in their en-
ployees.
What the Post once Savings Banks
have done in England gathering in
hundreds of millions which otherwise
would be unreached. this new banking
system will do for the United States. It
viii reap in one of the richest financial
fields in existence.
The United States Bankers Corpor-
