DUnstrous Affair.

would be a fair estimate. Added to
this is a large loss to tho live stock in
terest on account of the reduction of
the killing operations at Armour's.

out 5500,000 for live stoclc May prom
ised an even larger outlay of money
for live stock. Instead of slaughter
ing 1,000 cattle daily, tho Armour com
pany is now slaughtering only COO,
