GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.

Chicago Packing and Provision
Company Will Wind Up Its Affairs.
Chicago, June 26.-The board Of d.
rectors of the Chicago Packing and
Provision company has adopted a reso-
luton recommending that the business
be l%iQuidated gradually and the dlstrl-
button made of the proceeds to the
stockholders. This recommendation
goes to the Chicago Packing and Pro
vision Company of England, which
controls the American company OF
that name. The rause assigned for
the action is the. continued bad state of
the packing business and the failure Of
the large companies to get together
and perfect any kind of an agreement
to protect prices. Competition between
the different corporations has had a
marked effect upon their earning pow
ers. Seeing no prospect of relief from
this situation the directors met and de-
cided to recommend dissolution from
the English company. The corporation
is reported in good shape financially.
