a meeting OF the Live Stock exchange was
decided upon today at a meeting Of the
Live Stock Traders exchange when the
members Of the exchange appointed a com
mittee OF three 70 consult with an attor-
ney in the matter Of filing a protest with
the Nebraska Railway commission against
the increased prices OF hay and corn sought
for by the Union Stock Yards company.
i The traders exchange will have their com
mittee call upon General Manager Buck
ingham Of the Union Stock Yards com

way commission.
The traders were induced 10 can upon
/, the stock yards authorities by Jim Bufa.
president Of the traders exchange. Mr.
Bulla said he considered that II was only
fair TO have the yards people given an or
portuniiy Of justifying their demand for
. increased prices before making the point
an issue before the members Of the rail-
way commission.
That the traders will be heaviest hit II
the proposed prices carry is admitted by
All the Live Stock exchange members in
filing n protest do so in the interest of the
shippers for whom they act as agents. The
members of the exchange DO a strict com
riissfon business and hence the proposed
+ raise need not materially affect their
profits.
Traders Are Hard hit.
With the traders. however. the matter
Is different The traders buy the cattle
outright, in the yards and most feed them
while they remain unsold. The feed must
be bought Of the yards and IL the prices
r or hay and corn are increased the profits
OF the traders will naturally be affected.
Whether the matter will develop into
an issue that Will mean a fight between
the traders and commission men and the
Union Stock Yards company cannot be
predicted with accuracy Until now the re-
lations between the two sides have always
been most amicable. Another point that
viii deter the action OF the traders IN pro-
testing the raise in hay and corn will be
whether the raise will prove general over
the five centers OF the stock industry.
II Is understood that Kansas City and
. St Joseph have already advanced their
prices. II Chicago. Sioux City and st. Louis
do likewise there viii be small chance of
the focal market, maintaining a lower price
scale The. fact remains that the South
Omaha feed market has for years been the
cheapest feed market in the live stock
world. IL is the opinion Of some that with
the new reciprocity treaty in effect. short
home crops OF hay and corn can be suople-
emented from the Canadian markets at a
very low price and the original rates of
hay and corn maintained here.
The committees from the Live Stock ex-
change ard from the Live Stock Traders
exchange win make their protest before
the railway commission at Lincoln on
