"do business in the j dark" by withholding sales from the public but the plan has never been seriously considered byThe trade tip to this time, and never before has been brought tb a vote of the mem bers of the Livestock Exchange. Under the present system at the stock yards the sale price of each lot of mv irnals weighed is placed on the weight ticket and it -is therefore impossible for anyone to "do the shipper" out of any of the price received.
