CHANGES IN CATTLE TRADE
Independent Butchers Find How Much
Their Business Has Been Affected
Since the "Big Six" Is Threatened
With Prosecution.

CHICAGO. May Changes in the cat
| tie trade at the stockyards have been dis
covered which point strongly to the ex-
istence of a close combination among the
big six packing firms. BY comparison
OF notes among the commission houses
which purchase cattle for the wholesale
butchers Of the East and Southeast. it
was discovered that an immense increase
in their orders has developed since the
trust has been threatened with investiga-
ton.
In New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
Cleveland, Baltimore. and other large
cities are many wholesale butchers who
do not deal in hogs and who pack no
meats. They simply kill cattle and sell
dressed beef to the retail butchers OF
their respective vicinities. They buy their
cattle at the stockyards through the COM
mission merchants and are the direct ri
walls of big Six" combination.
For a long time they have been fought
almost to the point Of ruin by the pack
ers, but since the investigation was de-
termined on the trust has discontinued
its oppressive tactics and the result is
that the wholesale butchers have sudden
ly developed a surprising activity. They
are sending in larger orders for cattle
every day the increase within month
aggregating 100 head a week
Packing House Tactics.
The chief means used by the packing
combination to Cypress these Eastern
houses is the shipping rebate arrange
ment with the railroad companies. In
addition to this the packers are said to
have threatened not to sell to any deal
ers who did not also buy dressed beef.
What life was in the smaller houses after
these two methods were exhausted was
taken out of them by temporary under
selling. The effect on the meat trade, SO
far as these dealers were concerned was
not so much restraint Of trade as trade
determination.
The fact that the Eastern buyers are
showing their improved condition by
making largely increased purchases has
made profound impression at the stock
yards. Farmers and feeders also who
visit the yards have not been slow to OBJ
serve the transformation and are more
than ever convinced that it is the pack
ers' combination that hammers down the
price Of cattle and threatens the feeders
