Show Till: STABILIZING or M LIVESTOCK RECEIPTS M Beginning on the tenth of Decern- BH ber, shipments of livestock to tin- H Chicago market are being handled on H a plati that will distribute receipts B uniformly over the entire week. Un- pH der the .system that prevailed before H the !' 1 Cotntniaeton winked out the ,H new plan, receipts of livestock varied H widely from day to day, frequently H causing severe lUicluutions in prices. p Territory around ChiciiRo is now H divided into shipping ones. The first H one extends approximately 1100 miles H in nil directions from Chicago, the Bfl exact distance being varied somewhat H H necessary for engine runs. H The second zone includes territory H beyond .'100 miles and up to the .'Mi- Bfl hour limit for the shipment of stock. pfl Federal regulations require stock in BH trams to be unloaded every :!( hours H for rest. Within the first zone, live- pfl stock will lie received for the Tims H day, Thursday, Friday and Saturday BH Chicago market. From the second BH .one, stock will be received for Mori day, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday Bfl market. Heyond the .'Hi-hour limit, bBJ stock may bi received for any dny'a M market. U The entile plan is strikingly similar tBJ to the .one system now in effect at Bfl Kansas City, and which has been em- pfl ineptly successful in giving uniform- fl ity to receipts at thnt mnrket. This bBJ new development in livestock shipping; Bfl is expected to be helpful in stubiliz- pfl ing prices nun preventing; serious B losses to farmers und stockmen, who B ill the past have suffered when the pfl market broke under heavy receipts.
