There are few interesting facts connected with the
western beef market which we will give. 1t is thought
that beef fed the praes elways the tenierest and
sweetest which gives the west the preference all
other parts Of the world Beef is now being pack d
in Chicago, not only for the New York and Bos
ton markets. but also for the ontrea and London mark
cts. One firm have been, and still are, saughtering
hundred head of cattle daily and they have already
engaged 5000 head to be slaughtered immediately
They packing both for the u. s. Navy and the British
government. Other firms packing, but not extern
sively this We think something like 200 to $50
slaughtered in that market daily and this number
will be increased The average price paid by the
packers is $3.50 In packing beef tor shipping il is put
up in erces with Turks Island salt. Even for home
consumption foreign salt is the best but people
not particular about the difference.
