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.
