equality Of offerings was not good.
II was such as the trade usually looks
for on Tuesday, with the Wisconsin
shipments largely predomlnating. 1t
was not the absence Of good finished
stun that made the slow market. how.
ever. as the buyers were generally
looking for low.priced cattle. Ship.
pers had only few orders at most,
and the great percentage Of them
were for plain finished cattle. Since
the ending OF the western season there
has generally been a. good demand
for the comm0ner sorts OF cattle AZ
for the better priced steers. A few
toppy kinds have reached 1926 this
week, but they are as scarce az the
proverbial hens teeth"

People must remember that the city
had only eleven inspectors at work on
cattle, hogs, sheep ana provisions.
Necessarily their work must have
been very incomplete when there were
100000 cattle a week to inspect. Tu-

shipped to all quarters as food.

Beef Trust cold storage Is n bad
thing. Yet 1t Is popular Just now. Tho
rotten food turned out In the shape of
diseased poultry from Beef Trust roosts
is thus touched upon by Health Com
missioner Whalen, of Chicago, In his
annual report:
Gold storage Is one of our present
necessities, but 1t Is evident that It
has been shamefully misused by dis.
honest men. While certain Ntid '
Of food are better after more on
prolonged storage, certain fruits
vegetables spoil so soon after reno
from the cold storage as to give
very VI favorable impression.
Again, poultry or game Is often
stored In an undrawn condition and ia
Gfterward sold to the public. Attention
