That crisis in the history Of Amer
! ica's vast live stock trade has been Gre
ated, is fact of which the producer
(whose interests chiefly are affected) Is
becoming aware. He Is beginning to
realize that while his interest and that
of the manufacturer or packer are to
some extent Identical, at the marketing
stage each has his own interest to con-
serve. Always the object OF the packer
is to buy his raw material at the low
est possible dollar-of the producer, to
sell what, from his viewpoint, Is fin
ished product" for the most money.
When he deals direct with the packer
in the country he trades in the dark
without the advantage of competition
Competition has long since become
the recognized and essential principle
Of barter anG 1t is an axiom that every
additional buyer at the market has
spelled added competition.
The function of the producers agent,
known to the trade as the middleman,
has been to bring his customers pro-
duct to the attention OF all prospective
buyers. Elimination of any competition
is distinct disadvantage.
AS it was originated some years ago,
country buying Of live stock by the
packer possessed an element of compe-
tition long since eliminated The prac-
tice had it's origin in the necessities OF
certain packers at central and eastern
points, who operated in limited way,
and, unable to meet the selling compe-
tition of the big packer. conceived the
idea of underbuying him. This they
succeeded in doing to an extent far be-
You'd their expectation. by withdraw
ing the major portion Of their orders
from competitive markets, and supply

for instance (the practice having its in
ception in handling that class of stock,
cost less money laid down at New Eng
land points than the big packers were
able to buy them for at competitive
markets. Such competition naturally
could not continue indefinitely. and its
only logical outcome was the absorp-
ton of the smaller packer by the great
er. In other words, the eastern killer
designed an advantageous system of
trading when he went to the country
to buy hogs and the big packer paid for
the idea. The little fellow disap-

sonic Temple. Phone 1881
Chicago, Nov. 3.-N heat-Larger re-
ceipts Of wheat than anticipated both
in the northwest and southwest and
revival of the rumor that the Canadian
government was likely to remove the
duty on wheat caused heavy realizing
and some pressure from local bears.
The net result was the loss of 1@1A
cents with the May option the easier.
The bullish features in the situation
are the scarcity of cash wheat abrC ad
and a material decrease in the acreage
Of domestic winter wheat. There are
also many complaints in regard to the
condition of the recently seeded crop,
on account of dry weather.
Corn-Altho cables We're sharply
higher on Argentine corn and a good
many complaints were received as to
the quality of this years crop, there
was not enough buying to Offset the
selling of December by casa houses and
of May by leading houses The result
was sharp decline from an early
bulge. with December closing q cents
lower than last night, while the May
was only a shade easier. The selling
by cash houses may be attributed TO
the fact that country offerings in
creased somewhat and that the cash
demand was not broad. Some Of to-
days selling was also credited 70 cash
interests who have recently given as
the cause of their purchases a heavy
demand for new corn FOR export. Al
top prices today for December corn the
farmer could be paid about 30 cents
per bushel for his new corn over NEST
OF the surplus corn territory.
Oats-Oats showed no marked inde-
pendence, but followed the course Of
other grains and closed at losses Of 4
to y cent. Both export and domestic
demand were slow. More oats are nov
ing and the cash demand is not likely
TO become acute.
Provisions-After being higher early,
provisions eased off and the close was
at moderate losses for most of the list.
Except for some buying Of January lard
there was no apparent demand from
packing interests.

Chicago Horse Market.

Chicago Nov. 3.--The Tuesday horse
market was fairly active at steady
rates. The trade was given good
tone under strong demand from local
buyers, along with eastern shippers.
There is good demand locally for
wagon horses to be used in the general
teaming business, while outsiders have
been taking some of the commoner
grades of horses which only recently
were sort of drag on the market.
The lighter supply Of horses during
the first two days of the week also
aided considerably in helping the trade
to gain action. Buyers were on hand
in goodly numbers Tuesday and We're
out looking over horses in good season.
There has been small number of
army horses received here this week
ara inspectors became little anx-
ious when that occurs. They want the
horses and say they will be in the
market for an indefinite period for all
grades Of military horses.
Receipts for tie first two days Of the
week total about 1900 head, against
1850 for same days last week and 3,245
for corresponding period two years
ago
