* Wabush, St. Louls & Pacitic.... THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE SUNDAY, NOVENBER \ 14, 188S0—SIXTEEN PAGES. BUSINESS. Stocks Open Weak, Closing * Stronger on a Bad Bank i Statement. The Market Becoming Very Dull -~Activity in Northern Pacific. Heavy Calls for Currency from City and Country—Foreign Ex- , change, ~ The Produce Markets Active and Ire regular—Provisions Rather Weak, Wheat and orn Easier, but Olosed Strong at an Advance. FINANCIAL. Stocks were dull. Brokers in Chicago and New York are complaining of a lack of orders. Reading and Northern Pacilic were the only special features. leading vpened at a decline of 23, selling at 43, but ft then rose with large transactions at , closing at 47, Northern Pacific was stimulated by the report that alarge block of bonds bad been negotiated to complete the road to the’Pacific coast. The common ran up to 30% from 2953, and the preferred rose from 52% 10 55%, closing at 55%. Alton, with a few sales, went up from 136% to 140, closing at 139%. ‘The tendency of pricen was downward in the first part of the day in anticipation of a bad bank statement. When the statement appeared and showed that the New York banks were aown to the dead-line stocks grew better, and at tho close nearly everything showed some slight ad- vance. Witn regard to the future of the money mar ket, the Public sees nothing that foreshadows any serious disturbance or stringency. There fs abundant disposition to put prices down if possible, and the war of rates at the West is by many regarded as an evidence that some lead- ing operators want, to buy certain stocks at low rates, But the buying by the investors here god abroad, and by that much larger class who buy partly as investors and partly as specu- lators, has become considerable since the elec- tion, and may at any time place the market beyond the control of alf the operators, as it did repeatedly last year. Those who suffered then may shrink from a renewal of the experionce. Either after some reaction, or without any, the market seems likely to be very strong this winter, and it is probable that higher prices than bave yet been seen will be recorded before next March.

Pork was weak under the prospect of a big supply of hogs the coming week, but there were a good many buying orders at about $13.50 for January, and that staid it. The packershave added about 50,000 bris of pork to our stocks during last wees. Other product was lower in sympathy with pork. Wheat started out weak, but the later feeling ‘was strong, with the rumor that a local syndi- cate has been formed to bull it. Corn followed the same rule, and oats ditto. There was no material change in-other grain. Mesa pork closed 5c lower, at $12.15@12.17% for December, and $13.55@13.57% for January.

In theclothing market and in hats, caps, und millinery goods there was u fair sen~ sonable movement, Groceries were reported in good request for the time of year, and the gen. eral murket was steady and firm. Dairy prod- ucts sold moderately at about former quota- uons, butter ruling Steady, while cheese remained weak under a light demand and ac- cumulating stocks. There was a fair general movement in dried fruits at nominally un- chunged prices. Fish wero firm and unchanged. No changes were developed in the oil-marker. Coal, leather, tobacco, and pig-iron also were quoted as before, - Lumber was fairly active at unchanged prices. Lake receipts are falling off, and prices at both. yards and docks are steadier as a consequence. The shipments continue Uberal, and would be larger if dealers could get as many curs as they want. Wool was firm, in sympathy with the sea- board markets, and the demand continues good. Hay was activo for shipment and the grades of Prairie for city use, prices ranging as heretofore, Timothy seed was stronger. and other varieties were not changed materially, ruling quiet ex- cept tiax-seed, which shippers took. Aides, broom-corn, and salt were unchanged. Poultry. was selling more freely on the street, areased stock being preferred, and game was rather slow. Green fruits were steady.

The latter operadion netted him $15,000, in addition to $15,000 reoéived for the privileges. As a gentleman on ‘Change re- marked, “ Thie is a russian business.” PROVISIONS. HOG PRODUCTS—Were irregularly weak, but within narrower Hmita than heretofore. The local hog market was easler, while forelgn advices showed lttle change. But packers reported tht the shipping demand for meats has fallen off nearly to zero, and that about 50,00) bris of now pork have been udded to Our stocks during the week because packers have found no market for other srticles. This induced heavy selling of pork, but when the market touched 30 for January it brought out numerous orders which bud been held hore to buy at that figure. A reaction ensued, but di ca ricés up much. Lurd was moderately Hotive, uid gabted wenks though it did wot decline ao much ‘as pork, being moderatoly weil held.

Skinner qui- etly passed away Friday night, at 11:30 o'clock, after but fifty hours’ ilincss, With Mr. Skin- ner’s nuine was associated a great deul of Chi- cago’s hotel histury. It can be fairly suid of him that he had bis ups and downs, and at one time he was regarded as # very Wealthy man. But he met reverses of fortune with a heroism born of Western pluck, and his beart and band were ever open tonfriend. He was a man among men, charituble and kind to all, and by those who knew him he will long be missed. Mr. Skinner was born in Boston, Nov. 18, 18%, and was the youngest of seven children, five sons and two daughters, two of his brothers, Samuel P. and Otis A. Skinner, being able cler- gymen in the Universalist Church. Mr. Skinner was educated in the Boston public schools, and received a portion of his business education in that city. He came to Chicago in 1846, and from that time on embarked in the hotel business. The Chicago of that day was far diferent from the magniticent present Garden City. In the spring of 1817 he lensed what was then known ag the Ney York, House, an unpretentious frame ‘structure on Lake, between LaSalle and Welisstreets, located about where at present stands the hardware house of W.C. Blatr &Co, The New York House became ® popular tavern in that day. Its landlord, then in the prime of youthful life and vigor, was genial and pleasant to all. The River and Har- bor Convention bad just then been culled to meet in Chicaxo, and great preparations were needed to receive the many eminent and distin- guished men then expected. It wus at that time that Chicago began to loom up as a future great city. Mr, Skinner's house was the headquarters or’ the stage-lines, and the hotel became notable for its beds und. excellent fare. In 1819 the hotel was destroyed by fire, after two years of remarkable prosperity. But the Now ‘ork House did not die. It did not rise phoenix- like from its ashes, but onty a short time after the more modest one was destroyed a more pretentious house was taken by Mr. Skinner at the corner of Randolph and .Franklin streets, where he again carried on the business of enter- taining the weury traveier. In that same year the genful and successful host took unto him- self a wife in the person of Miss Mary A. Shrisz- ley, daughter of John Shrigley, who was even then an vid settler, und one of the first of the Sheriffs of Cook County. Mr. Sbrigley bad also been a landlord, and bid managed the Saugn- nash House, on Market streez,'which wus a good hotel in itsday. Mrs. Skinner was but] year old when she landed on Chicago gull. For seven years Mr. Skinner ran the New York House, each year incrousing its popularity, until, in 1354. he concluded to retire from the hotel. business foratime. Hewentto New York City, where he enguged in the produce commission business, He stuid East for five years. In the hotel business here up to the time of his leaving he is Suid to bave made a great deal of money, but his New York venture wus not so successful, and he returned to Chicago in 1859, when he leased the Metropolitan Hotel, then ut the southwest corner of Randolph street and Fifth avenue. This at that time was no four-story brick structure, capable of doing a lurgo business. Under the able munagement of Mr. Skinner it reached «a marvelous degree of popularity, until it became too limited in ita capacity tor all who sought its hospitable ruof. The May Hotel, south of the Metropolitan, on Fifth avenue, which was then Wells strect, was purchused by Mr.Skinner, and the two houses were conuected, giving ‘a capacity of over 20) rooms, which was exceedingly la: for that time.@The house wus run without inter- ruption by Mr. Skinner fur seven years, and It continued to keep growing In popular esteem, doing, during ali that time, a most successful business. ‘nite Mr. Skinner was landlord of the Metropolitan be also managed the St. Charles Hotel at Cuiro, and through them both became known al} over ‘the State, especiully in the goutnern portion, where be was an especial favorit with the traveling public. In 1868 Mr. Skinner retired from the Metropolitan and sbortly after.‘purchased tho Brigys House, which stoud opposit, from Willium F. Tucier. for which he pad’ $150.00), one-third being paid in cash, $25, and a furm on the North Side, reckoned ut $25,000 more, for which a short time after Mr. Tucker was offered $75,000. Under the management of Mr. Skinner the Briggs becume famous for its tableand attention. For four years Mr. Skinner ran the house, when he turned {t over to” Messrs. Woulworth & Went- worth, Mr. Skinter was not finanetully success- ful in the Griggs House, the price paid for it being considered exceedingly high at the time. At was in the suinmer of is71 that Mr. Skinner left the Briggs, and at that time the elegant Bigelow House was being built on the present site of the uew Post-Ollice. Of this house, which was to contain 250 rooms, Mr. Skinner was to take the management. When the terrible tire of Oct. 9 came the hotel wasalready partially fur- nished, and in ten days more Mr. Skinner was to have opened it. But the tire swept it away, and the Bigelow House, which was to have been sumptuously furnished, was never opened. The conflagration gave Mr. Skinner, along with Scores of others of Chicayo’s citizens, 2 hard blow, but with bis usval yrit und pluck he railied, though for a couple of years he retired from active lnbors. In che Vea 1873 he opened what was called the West-Side Briggs House. corner of Canal and West Madison streets, Woolworth & Went- worth, who had occupled it since the great fire, retiring. Mr. Skinner added largely to the cupacity of the huuse, and be at once succeeded in regaining a great’ deal of his old populurity. He ran this house for three years, but again retired in 18i6. In the fall of 18i7 he opened the handsome Egmont Hotel at Fernandina, Fla., where he remained for some- thing like two years, when his health broke down and he returned tothe North. He re- tained here for some time, und then purchased the restaurant No, 47 State street, which he rao Successfully up tothe time of his death. Mr. Skinner was in the prime of life, being 58 years old at the time of bis death. His attack was cerebral congestion. Thursday morning at 9 o'clock he was taken {ll ut breakfast with an at- lack of epileptic fits, and bud eleven of them in succession, He was teuderly cared for, und tuken. to the Tremont House, where he had three more. He then became comatose, and from the time of his first attack until the moment that he breathed hislast he never regained bis consciousness. No man in Chicago was better or more widely known in his line, and none left a wider circle of friends to mourn his loss. He leaves a wife and one son, Samuel P. Skinuer, who buye the deep sympathy of friends in their affliction. The Tuueral services will take face at2 o'clock this afternoon at St. Paul's Universalist Church, Michigun avenue, north of Eighteenth street. MANTIN E. HUYCK.
