Identical under test with that of Miss

PACKERS RULING
REDUCES RECEIPTS
Eight Between Beef Trust ana
Commission Men Is On and
Prices May Soar.

Chicago, May 29.-The Chicago bee>
trusts new rule making the purchase
of Cow stuff" subject to post NOR
tenn examination went into effect for
the first time Monday, with the result
that less than half the usual amount
of this class of live stock found its way
into the stock yards. The uneasinesS
caused by the letters and kilograms
sent out last week to shippers, warning
them to hold back their COWS and heif-
ers, was reflected In a greatly reduced
cattle supply, and commission men de-
clared when the days sales were closed
that meat prices might go up with
bound unless there is a break In the
situation before the end of the week.
Sell Only to Independents.
All the Cow stuff" that did come In
was sold to the independent packing
firms and the commission firms are
jubilant over their success In resist
ing the demands of the trusts buy
ers. All of the commission firms ex-
cept one, the Cooperative, which is not
listed In the live stock exchange, were
in unity in refusing to sell to the big
packers under the new ruling. and as
the latter declined to buy on the old!
scale the deadlock was on In earnest
Commission men claim to have adj
vices from Washington assuring them
that any attempt on the part of the
packers to extend the new ruling to
cover other classes of live stock will,
mean the withdrawal of the govern
ment inspection service. They are
equally sure that 1t is the intention or
the packing trust to force the "cow
stuff" ruling down their throats now
in the hope of ultimately compelling
thu shipper and producer to stand the
loss on all condemned cattle. For this
reason they have taken a firm stand
In the fight and have advised every
cattle raiser and shipper In the coun-
try to hold onto his cows and heifers
and to move cautiously In the disposi-
ton of all other grades Of live stock as

Little Doing in Kansas City.
Kansas City, Mo-, May 2S.-Commis-
sion men evidently had the whip hand
tor the first day in the fight with the
packing houses over the latter's posi-
| tion in regard to purchasing cows and
| heifers subject to post mortem examin-
alton.
| Country shippers followed the com
mission mems advise and held back
their cows and heifers. For the few on
sale at the stock yards there was a
fairly good demand from local butchers
and from order buyers who represented
small slaughterers in eastern states.
| Representatives of the large packing
houses did not try to buy cows and
heifers except in one instance, in which
| the ColnIIllsSlou indil Was HlSlTuCteu Dy
the owner of the cattle to sell subject
| 20 post mortem examination. For these
| the packers paid a strong price.
| Dressed beef houses bought more
| lightweight steers than usual owing to
the difficulty in getting cows and heif-
ers. On account of this demand prices
were about 10 cents higher on a hun
dred pounds than on Saturday.
Neither side showed any indication
Of backing down from the stand taken
last week.
