STOCKYARDS FACTIONS.
Movement on Foot to Adjust All Diff
ferences.

For several days past n movement has
been under way 10 effect an understanding
between the warning factions at the Union
stockyards and pave the way either to
consolidation OF the Union stockyards with
the Interstate stockyards or alliance by
which the business done at the Interstate
yards will not conflict with the Union yards
The movement was started some time ago
by some Of the commission men whose BUSH
ness has suffered by the cut of so per
cent. made year ago by r. r. Shiel in the
buying and selling charges. Many of the
houses have had difficulty in securing cattle
and hogs with which TO MI orders, because
most of the independent shippers sent their
consignments either to Kingan & Co. or to
Shiel, where the selling charges were re-
duced to a minimum. As an experiment,
several Of the houses, In order to secure
shipments Of stock, advanced money to
drovers and buyers throughout the State,
bought should be shipped to the firms ad-
vancing the money. This, of course, stimu-
lated trade. but proved to be unsatisfae-
big buyers at the Indianapolis stockyards
are Kingan &c Co. and the Squires
packing house. of Boston. the latter firm
represented in this market by r. r. Shiel
The proposition which, however, has not as
yet taken definite shape, is to have the
Squires company take absolute possession
of the new yards under lease, and use
them for handling its own cattle en- route
from the West or those purchased in this
city. By doing this, the new yards would
be used to their capacity, as the bulk of
the stock bought by the Squires company
is secured in the West and is shipped
through Chicago. Were the company to
acquire absolute control of the new yards
the expensive unloading and feeding now
done at Chicago would be done in this city,
and Indianapolis would become In time a
point in the country outside of Chicago.
Most of the commission men who favor
this solution of the difficulty do so not only
additional expense of maintaining offices in
both the new and old yards which will not
be necessary in case the Squires company
takes complete control of the new yards.

tors OF the theater that all the paint put on

date necessity for taking action, and con-
