The Live Stock Market

A very important meeting is being held at Chicago, the National Conference Marketing and Rural Credits, which opened yesterday. The interest of the lies chifely in the fact that the market committee of the American National Live citation will participate in the conference and will deavor it's aid in reform of the live stock market, whose conditions for years have clouded the live stock industry with uncertainty There has grown up such lack of confidence in the markets that the industry has suffered depression time when it should have undergone expansion.
 An effort is being made to thorough in- estigation by the Federal Trade Commission of con- di;ons in the the influence arbitrarily exer,ed by the great packing companies. The market committee appointed at the Fl Paso convention less than year ago has already accomplished much After It's organization it secured the services it's legal representative. of Mir Walter L. Fisher. former ary of the interior whose investigations have already covered a wide field and laid foundation for a strong case for the stockmen The committees activ- i'y has given impetus the Borland resolution ealing for the Federal Trade Commission investga- ton which it otherwise would have had. It is thought that final action will be this ton at the session of begun yesterday that investigation will take place of the entire live industry, from the range to the consumer and that a succeeding congress will provide such remedial leg station tie investigation may show to be neces- sary.
 The industry will have direct and active support in congress that enjoyed before It will not only working but voting influence in the United States senate-Governor John B. Kendrick of Wyom- ing. lately elected United States from Wy oming, who has for years been of the fore most members of the association.
 The live stock industry would not alone be bene- fitted by the of the efforts of marketing committee The consumers would participate in the benefits. There would come to each share of the profits which are diverted somewhere between the range and the table
 The program of the National Conference is a very lroad one embracing a study of all things affecting the various rural industries Among the matters under discussion will be immigration. the farm labor question. the markets or the various kinds of farm produce and farm betterments.
 Also the question of the high of living has become much more acute since the conference was called and it is, therefore. possible that 1t will be given a large place in the deliberations.

 It Is believed that the recommenda- - tions for the amendments to the ord nance will be drawn so that they can be submitted to members of the city commission before the latter part cf this month. Those backing the move nent are extremely anxious that the ordinance be amerdded before the close of the present year,
