Eates on Dressed Beef.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2O.-The heavy packing
firms of this city have prepared circular
which has been sent to Commissioner
Fink, of the executive committee of the
east bound pool and freight representative
of the eastern roads, upon the pending
controversy over comparative rates on
dressed beef and live stock. The rates are
now sixty-four and forty cents per 100 re-
spectively. Commissioners Fink has shown
desire to increase the rate on dressed
beef to seventy seven cents, which would
equalize the rate in his view on basis of
forty cents for livs weight. The present
circular contends that from forty eight to
ffty-four cents wsuld be properly equal
lied rate on dressed beef, and statistics are
offered in support of this view. The fact
is also cited that certain of the eastern
roads have refused to accept Commissioner
Fink's view. The matter will be broue hit
before the next session of the executive
committee pool.
