How much longer will the American

Ing clipped from the live stock report
Of the Chicago Daily News, January
o. 1905:
equality of offerings was not good.
It was such as the trade usually looks
for on Tuesday, with the Wisconsin
shipments largely predOminating. 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 as good a demand
for the commoner sorts OF cattle rs
for the better priced steers. A few
toppy kinds have reached $0.25 this
week. but they are as scarce as the
proverbial hens teeth"
We do not see any quotations in
the dailies on trichina hogs.
All the rotten old B0ef Trust lobby
lists. consisting of crooked lawyers,
CASTOR politicians and scarecrow states

Illinois Legislature meets these
worthless will be pointed out so that he
who runs may read.

People must remember that the city
had only eleven inspectors Mt work on
cattle, hogs, sheep and provisions
Necessarily their work must have
been very incomplete when there were
100000 cattle week to inspect. Tu
berculosis and cancer are bound to be
shipped to all quarters as food.

Reef Trust cold storage Is bad
thing. Yet 1t is popular Just now. The
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 IL Is evident that 1t
has been shamefully misused by dis
honest men. While certain articles
OF food are better after more or less
prolonged storage, certain fruits and
vegetables spoil so soon after removal
from the cold storage as to give q
very unfayorablc impression.
again, poultry or game Is often
, stored In an undrawn condition and IL
afterward sold to the public. Attention
