CHICAGO'S HEART IN PERIL.
Produce Exchange May stop "Beat-
fno.s ON Account of RMtterfne.

CHICAGO, Dec. Is, 1S97.-After an exist
ence of nearly a quarter of century, the
Produce Exchange of Chicago is on the
verge of dissolution. At the end of a
long and stormy meeting it was decided
to distribute the money in the treasury of
the exchange among the members, which
action was taken to mean that the doom
of the organization was sealed.
The beginning of the end was in the
action of some butter man who several
weeks ago introduced a resolution in the
exchange to appropriate 81, 500 of the funds
of the exchange in securing a strict en-
forcement of the law which regulates the
sale of butterine.
This aroused the opposition of the lead
ers in the latter product and brought
about the action just taken.
