for stock cattle throughout the country
surrounding Sioux City is very great, and
increasing all the time. The high price OF

Dakota, SO that many of them sold and are
now buying at advanced prices. Stock cat

The Chicago Daily Drover's Journal reg,
marks that the battle between the large
Chicago slaughterers and the Stockyard
company over the rate of yardage develops
one point that is worth remembering. 1t
settles very effectually the somewhat
widespread belief heretofore held that the
large packers were getting inside favors
from the yard company. The slaughterers
who buy many thousand cattle at outside
points and merely have them unloaded and
passed through the yards to their houses
felt that they were entitled to at least
very low rate of yardage and objected TO
paving PIC on cattle or as much as farmer
who feeds one car load year would have
to pay even if he wanted TO hold his cattle
in the yards week.
