Chicago, s.-7ribune ,editorisl: Some
idea Of the Importance to Chicago and
the consuming markets of the world Of
the cattle trade may be gained from the
fact that since May LIST, the beginning Of
the season, there have been received at
Union stock yards in this city 400, 600
head. OF this number 10000 were
Texas cattle and the remainder northern
range cattle. Colorado, Wyoming,
Montana and Nebraska we're large con-
tribuLors, though Utah, Dakota, Oregon
and Indian Territory furnished their
quota. By the end of November. which
lcloses the season. Chicago will have re-
ceived not less than $40 900 head Of Texas
and northern range cattle, which is about
one third of our total annual receipts.
The bulk of these was put into cans by
local packers and shipped to ali parts of
the world. The best qualities we're taken
by dressed beef shippers and helped to
supply New York, New England and
southern markets.
