TIi" stoek yards perform two func tions: they urn unloading, feediHK and rest Iiik stalionsl'or live stock ; and markets for luiylnt; anil selling. As I'liyln;' and places, they are erestliiit spots In union;; the most 1 lit- world -places where one may ses n natlim nl its linrlerliif;. Huge auc tion stations where n fraction of a point counts, and counts Pig. The Chicago slock yards, as tho wost notalile example, will receive in I) ill aa.vuhei'e from 10,000 to liO.OUO em lie, not to mention hogs nnd sheep. These would represent shipments by . many fanners. Each farmer puts his cattle Into the hands of a commission firm who acts us his agent. The "stock in trade" of the commission firm Is a satisfied clientele among the farmers the heller bargainers they are for a lrng price, the more the farmer Is disf posed to patronize them, A Game for Experts. 14 Is a titanic game, nnd one for ex perts. On the one side are arrayed the commission men, and on the other the buyers represent leg packing con cerns, nrokers and oiling. iSnth sitli-s know their business, which is to s.iv ' that they know full well what the re ceipts of the ilny are and their rein tlou to the requirements, and they know cuttle. The big auction begins. Not f-om a block, lint mi miction for nil that, r.uyers, mounted 011 ponies, scurry hither and tbillur, making a bK on rne lot here nnd on another lot there.

No one eon determine his value but tho men In the wjis, the commission men and the buyers. Buyers Represent Many Firm- . Many think that these cattle are all purchased by the big packers, which is far from -being the case. Besides the buyers fu& (he big puckers there are always In the Chicago yards from a hundred to a hundred and fifty ether buyers on I he scene, many of tiiein representing firms that are not located near the stock yards or even in tlio same city. All told, tho largo pack ers do only 44 per cent of the meat animal slaughtering of the entire coin try. - ' The penalty whleh awaits the buyer who will not bid up to true values Is that the other buyers take the cattle away from him and his firm will bo without Its requirements. On the oth er bnnd the commission men cannot stick It out for an .exorbitant price; for the buyers would cut down on the amounts of their purchases. There are some people who will buy nieut at any price, but the majority of peo ple reduce their meat purchases pre eiselyv as the prices mount upward. The buyers In the stock yards reflect this attitude of the general public al trost as accurately ns n thermometer indicates the temperature. The Arena of Supply and Demand, In other words, tho stock yards are the meeting places of two tremendous powers of the economic world. Sup ply and Demand. Any one who vis its one of these places, even as the most casual observer, and watches what occurs there, vlll give up any illusion he may have about monopoly or control. Too many buyers and sell ers are Involved, niul Judging the value of nn indlvi lunl steer or a pen full of steers is altogether too compli cated a matter to cover by any sort of agreement In advance. The Konyon bill would make It Ille gal for any packers to have financial holdings in slock yards corporations. Common sense rightly nsks, "Why?" I low such holdings, which, where they exist, are nothing more than financial' backing of a worthy enterprise, Crfn control the men in the pens who tire hired to use their Judgment, Is too deep to be seen at a glance. The ad vocates of the bill should be forced to explain. And how I lack of such hold ings would prevent control or monop oly, if such tilings were possible, Is an other thing which the urononents of 1 the bill should be able to elucidate.
