POST MORTEM INSPECTION,
First Day of the Enforcement of Pack
ers' New Rule.
lUICAfiO, Miiy 28. Because of the
enforcement by the big packers of their
new rule requiring post mortem Inspec
tion of cuwa and heifer a a condition
of purchase, only the high grades of
beef were dd at the stock yard yes
terday for the Chicago trade.
It waa the nt day of the enforce
ment of the post' mortem rule and the
first skirmish between the packers and
the shipper of llveatock nd the com
muudon men. The big firms did not
auceeed in buying a solitary cow or
heifer, according to the returns made
to the commission men t the clone of
busineas. Kon of the 30(a) animals
numbered In the Hit of today's receipts
a 'ftowstulP' remained unnold, howev
er, all being sent to other cities, and on
this showing the commission men insist
ed that the big firms were routed In the
first skirmish.
The sales, however, were t prices
from 10 to 20 per cent below the range
of price at the close of last week's
market.
In this slump the big packer pro
'feed to find evidence of their own pow
er. They Are not sanguine of the final
outcome, however, the commission men's
failure to get "stuck" on the day's re
ceipt being an unlocked for develop
ment Causes that contributed to the suc
cess if the commission men in their
effort to sell out everything were the
co-operation of the shippers In the eoun
try and the demands of the 'Independ
ent trade.
Renewed appeals to the country buy
ers and shippers to "Keep their cows
and heifers" out of the Chicago mar
ket for the present were aent over the
wires.
