mates Oh commission Charged Are
lnequitabie and Unjust.
CALDWELL. Kan. Oct. 9.-At a meet
ing of Western cattle men in this city
memorial. addressed to the Chicago
Live stock exchange, was adopted,
which is here reproduced. The memo
rial will be extensively circulated in the
range country. 1t is as follows:
To the Live Stock Exchange of the
City of Chicago: We, the undersigned.
range cattlemen of the Western states
and territories, respectfully state that
the commission now charged by COM
mission firms in your city are inequita-
BILE and unjust. The usual commission
now charged by your commission houses
upon all the cattle, without distinction
as to value, has the following effect:
Upon corn-fed cattle averaging 1,490
pounds each and sold for four cents per
pound, netting $3.50, the commission
of so cents per head now charged
amounts to less than .93 of per cent on
the value of the animal sold. Upon
range cattle the same commission of SO
cents DER head is charged. These cat
tie, including shipments from Colorado,
New Mexico, Texas, the Indian Terri
tory and Kansas, during the sea-
son of 1889, have probably not eX-
ceeded in average weight 1000 pounds
each and have not averaged in net
value above 500 each. Upon these cat
tie the commission of so cents each
amounts to 24 per cent of the total
value. That is, upon cattle from ranges
your members charge commission of
two and one-haif times as great as they
do upon eorn-fed cattle. We recon-
mend the adoption by you of rate OF
charges which will distribute the cost
of selling cattle according to their
values. We ask you to recommend to
your members and the commission men
of your city to return to the rates of
commission formerly charged, and that
in the future their charges on the sale
of cattle shall be fixed at per cent
upon the gross amount of sales. with
this limitation, to wit: That the COM
mission for each animal sold shall in
no case fall below % cents, nor in any
case exceed so cents per head, and we
agree with each other that we will
patronize and ship our cattle to those
firms who agree to this proposition and
who will advocate its adoption upon the
members of the exchange and the live
stock commission men in general.

LONDON, Oct. 9.-The county councils

The Strand is to be widened its entire

of progress in this direction for cen

manifested in many directions by the
