Meat Through the Retail
Butcher Shops.
Chicago, Oct. 27.--The first big
shipment of Canadian beef to
reach this city 'Since the lower
ing of the tariff, was placed on
the market here this morning.
There was more than one mil
lion pounds in the shipment and
the price is considerable lower
than that asked for home grown
beef. Meat is lower today in the
retail markets than at any time
during the past five years.
The arrival of I he big shipment
from the north was a surprise
to I he dealers here, who have
been stocked up by the local trust
and many of them declare they
will suffer heavy loss. It is re
ported that the shippers of the
Canadian beef are having trouble
in placing their meat on the mar
ket, as most of the retail butch
er shops are controlled by the
meal trust. A representative of
the Canadian shippers declares
this is merely tne initial ship
ment and that they will open re
tail shops themselves, if neces
sary. but, would prefer to sell to
independent dealers.
