Chicago, Dec. 10.-The firmness OF
control which the government intenus
to place over the packing industr.
was shown in the detailed rules anu
regulations given out by the meat a.
vision Of the food administration.
Every detail of the business OF posa
large and small packers is to be unoer
supervision, in accordance win the
regulations drawn up under direction
of Joseph P. Cotton, who is at ehe
head of the meat division. The pack
ers are classified, under two genefai
heads-those doing a business OF more
than 100000, 900 annually and those
doing less. The larger division IN
cludes Armour & Co, Swift q Co.
Wilson Co, the Cudahy Packing COM
pany and Morris & Co.
All packers are to operate under gov
eminent license and each Ecensee Is
forbidden to make any change IN MS
business that will bring in rate OF
profit beyond the fixed limit. me
larger packers are permitted to make
not more than 9 per cent on their IN
vestment, except on byproducts, where
the limit is placed at 10 per cent.
Smaller packers are allowed "a per
cent on gross value of sales.
Lines are drawn sharply between
departments of the packing business
in which food products are handed
and byproducts which have no food
value.
No limit is placed on raising, feed
ing, and fattening of live stock. AS
some packers operate stockyards and
banks, these are also exempted from
profit regulations.
Packers are forbidden TO make any
permanent additions to their plants.
or any improvements which will in-
crease thu capital value, without eX-
press authorization from the chief of
the meat division. A check is placed
on deductions that may be written off
for depreciation ,and it Is provided
that Nv unreasonable salary or bonus
shall be treated as part OF the oper-
ating expenses. The larger packers
are required to close their books at
least six times a year, and the smaller
ones four times. Packers books and
records are to be open for inspection
at all times.

Higher Prices For Live Hogs.

Chicago, Dec. 1o-Corn prices de-
veloped some strength today as the
result Of cold weather. which seemed
likely to retard the movement Of the
crop. The cold weather was said to be
against efficient operation Of the rail-
roads and to hamper the transfer OF
grain from farms to the elevators.
Opening prices, which ranged from
the same as Saturdays finish, to s.
cent higher with January at S1.20A to
s1202s and May at s1.1sl2 to s1.lSA,
were followed by moderate gains al
around.
Later the market underwent a set
back owing to the relief that the en-
barge on shipments east will lead 10
increased stocks here. The close was
unsettled I. cents lower to Is cent ad-
vance compared with Saturdays fin

Oats.
Oats hardened with corn. Demand
was chiefly from scattered shorts.
Provisions.
Higher quotations on hogs lifted pro-
visions.
