Mr.. Pope represents Blue Earth county
in the Minnesota senate and feels inter

Hon. R. s. Ford considers that the new
Minnesota inspection law may result IN
higher prices for meat The Chicago
and Kansas City packers manage their
business 50 well that they send beef to
Atlanta, Georgia and sell it there for
cents per pound. The immense influx
Of cattle at Chicago gives them decided
facilities for procuring cattle on the best
terms. They do not, however, break
down the market entirely, for when they
have bought all the cattle they need, at
what they deem fair price they stop
and will buy no more for the day, how
ever cheap the steers may be offered. As
regards the new st. Paul market, Mr.
Ford says there is strong disposition to
send cattle to Chicago when once they
are shipped, but he considers thai the
new law will create greater demand for
cattle in St. Paul whence meat may now
be sent in refrigerator cars to the smaller
towns in the state. Mr.. Ford says that
the railroads should not increase the rate
for cattle this year. The condition of
the cattle trade does not warrant any ad-
vance.
