Of our slaughter houses for some time
past. he has not killed q hog in said

| months. / mention this fact to show
that his removal will not affect our mar

do not consider this removal an evil, as
! It will place US in q position. very shortly.

do business and who will have sufficient

present vacator has utterly failed for
the better part Of the year past to utilize.
The removing packer, during the past
eight months: has bought less than four
per cent of the cattle. less than two per
cent Of the sheep, and about six per cent
Of the hogs that have been sold and
received at this place: SO 1t becomes at
once plain that his removal is an unim-
portant event, and when 1t is understood
that his place will be filled by stronger
and better people within brief time
it becomes self-evident that 1t will be O
