from Chicago since last Saturday and their
stock of beef is exhausted. Manager Will
liams received a telegram from Swift & Co.
this morning stating that the condition of
the strike was unchanged, and that no live
stock or dressed beef was being received or
shipped by them. Crosby q Co. have re-
ceived word from one or two of their mil
lers that no shipments could be made at

venience on account of the stock they have
on the road.
