Changes in the Meat Market.

Hereafter it seems Chicago is to be
the great market for dressed beef. For
many years past that city has been the
largest pork market in the country, for
the reason that it was the great entire
pot for the corn of the West. The hog
may be called the product OF corn
and it is found to be economy to
slaughter the animal where it is fed
and fattened. But the beef and mutt
ton consumed in the East was taken
from animals transported from thou
sands OF miles. and then killed in the
slaughter houses and abattoirs OF the
cities where the meat was consumed.
But Chicago has entered the field to
sapply dressed beef and mutton as she
has heretofore dressed hogs. The meat
is transported East in refrigerated cars,
and is not only better but also cheap
or than meat from cattle killed in the
Eastern cities; for the reason that the
animals are in better condition before
q long journey than after 1t. There is
q great waste in railroad traffic, when
live beeyes aud sheep are transported
instead of dressed meat. Chicago is
fast becoming the greatest food market
