PORK PAcK1Na.-The packing season has fairly
commenced in our city. We visited the slanght-
ef1ng and packing houae Of our principal operator
mr. L. Blair, q few days since. and were agrccably
surprised at the neatness, dispatch and order with
which the operations were conducted. The facii-
ties 1or elaughterlng, packing and rendering arc
e1eeueht, and 800 head can b. slaughtered aud
packed per day. although not more than $40 per
day VII probably be killed. There is fine engine
and boiler for rendering, and for supplying water
and also an excellent spring Of pure. soft water
which is used for making brine While there, the

Eight hundred Of these were cold to Mr.. John

no place in which the business can be carried on
more prontably- We have every needed facility for

The Corn Trade In France.

The Paris correspondence Of the Nark Lane Ee-
1rsss under date Of Nov. 10, says the importatons
ofGrain we're on large scale, and had tended to
quiet the public mind as to any scarcity in ccnse-
quence OF the poor crops. The markets ruled
quiet, aud the millers, having purchased freely Of
foreign wheat, were unwilling to pay the prices
asked Tor native.
At HavTe, the arrivals ammounted to 10000
metreca1 quintals Of wheat, Of which H. 600 quin-
tails were from the United States, besides 1900
brl5 Of -four from New fork.
The Paris market was very much depressed. The
bakers were purchasing only from day to day.
There were fears however, of any serious decline
in prices.
The markets Of the various departments we're
quiet and heavy.

RrT1nG LUMBER FOR CAIRO.
The False Invoice System.

The country Is familiar with the way agents
and contractors have been in the habit of
swindling the Government in Missouri. IT is
known as the "MeKinstry trick and has cost
the National treasury millions of dollars. Il
Is very simple. and consists Of buying articles
At one price, and having the seller bill them to
tic Government at another For instance
suppose lay is bought for SIS per ton, and thc
seller signs i receipt for $l9 per ton. On a
thousand tons the operation nets the aren't
s'0Nthe treasury being .swindled four dol
lafs on each ton. Horses sold to the Govern
mcnt ut 500, -nre billed and rcccipted for at
Sl19, ny which process the Quarternastet and
his coufederatcs pocket SO on each horse. in
addition to their regular pay. And 50 through
Tic whole catalogue Of Government pur-
ct'ases, from oats to grape shot.
But It would seem that the McKinstry trick
Is not confined to st. Louis. 1t has been in
troduced into Illinois, and eFen into Chicago
Several Of the most respectable lumber deal
ers OF this city, have informed US Of false in
voices that have been made in recent sales Of
lumber for the camps at Cairo. They describe
the operation to Us rs follows "A. B., Coy
eminent Quartermaster, or his agent, goes to
lumber dealer and purchases 50, 900 feet Of
stuff at $S.o5 per thousand, and insists on hay
ing the bill made out at $500 per thousand,
He goes to another dealer and buys 100000
feet at 80 and has it billed at $3.50. From
. third lumberman he obtains 50, 900 feet at
$3.50 and has it billed at s10.75, and 50 On to
the extent Of his transactions. When tile
sellers object to this mode Of doing business,
be tells one lit is all right" another that the
difference is the commission allowed to him:
he tells 4 third that he has contract to delfv-
er at Cairo certain quantity Of lumber at
fixed price and that the difference between
the cost price and the billed price constitutes
his profits. To another he tells some other
story. The lumber dealers don't like this
style Of doing business. They suspect that
there is something rotten about it. They arc
not in the habit Of billing lumber at one price
and taking another for it. They arc patriotic
and honest men and don't want to have the
Government swind1ed where they can prevent
it They want light on this false invoice bust
ness. It may be all on the square but "they
don't sec it, They ask the TRIBUNE to ven
tilate these transactions in order that the high
cr authorities may know what has been done,
and if this mode OF buying lumber is regular
and proper, they want to know it.
