st. Paul Live Stock.

Owing to the cause referred to last week and
treated of at greater length since in these col
umns the business at the stock yards has heen
unusually dull. The receipts of cattle have
fallen off two-thirds the past week and sales
have been at prices slightly lower. The atten-
ton drawn by the GLOBE to the matter of i'm
porting Kansas City slaughtered beef into
this market is having beneficial
effect and many butchers who before purchased
the meat on account of the greater profit refuse
now to haudle it, and there has been falling off
of sales of this foreign slaughtered stuff of at
least one third. Another result is that the pub
lie are becoming alarmed and enquire after butch
ers who sell only dressed meat. Still
another result and this the ludicious
one Gas everything needs must have its whimsical
side). A certain straddlebug paper which is
ever crawling after the GLOBE and trying to
initiate its enterprise, came out on Sunday last,
for pious reading, with a dual article. One writ
ten at the Minneapolis end, the other the St.
Paul end of the concern, anent the Kansas beef
question, On the Minneapolis side Of the
fence it was asserted that the
greater quantity of our meat
comes from Kansas City, and St. Paul never was
meat center, and that we shall always have to
look to Kansas for our beef supply. The i'm
mence abattoirs established at the Transfer and
in this city go for nothing with this maudlin two
sided sheet. Besides trying to ruin an industry
here this fend of the northwest
wishes to destroy most promising
market for cattle which has been giving
higher prices than Chicago both for cattle and
sheep. The farmers no doubt will appreciate
the graceful obligation. Among the sales last
week were car Of Minnesota steers averaging
LBS pounds, at 1928; car of mixed cattle ay'
eraging 1850 pounds, at $3.50; / car of Mime
sofa steers averaging 1,O10 pounds, at 81 .50 1
