Chicago, Dec, 4.—A dispute between the Chicago board of trade and the Miuneapolis chamber of commerce oVer a question of payment of quota- tions came to light when the market report committee of the local ex- change issued orders to the Western Union Telegraph company to discon- tinne posting Minneapolis quotations on bulletin hoards in the trading hall on which prices in all outside markets are recorded, The rupture between the two or- ganizations ig sald to have followed an ultimatum by the Minneapolis ex- change to the effect that it would no longer pay half the tolls on quota- tions sent out to Chicago and other markets. As Minneapolis prices are closely watched at this time of the year, when the movement of spring wheat is heavy, the discontinuance of quotations caused considerable incon- venience among traders. By some of the leading brokers it was sald, how- ever, that the result would be bene- ficial to the Chicago market, as a good many local firms have hereto- fore sent a good deal of business to the Northern exchange which will be forced to discontinue doing so in the ahsence of quotations. NO CUT IN MEAT PRICES Retailers Say Wholesalers Are Mak: ing No Reductjon. Chicago, Dec. 4.—S8ol Westerfeld, president of the Retail Merchants’ as- sociation, has issued a statement ex- plaining the meat situation from the standpoint of the retail dealers. In general he denied that the packers had made any reduction in meat prices to the dealers during the last few weeks. “No material reduction has come to us as yet,” he said. “We have vis- ited the packers time and time again and asked, even demanded, a reduc- tion, for we felt that the consumer had a right to the benefit of the low prices of cattle and hogs on the hoof. The packers have put us off, saying that next week, perhaps, the reduc- tion would come. ‘Next week’ never has come. “As a matter of actual fact good beef, native cattle, is as high to us as it was last summer. There is no question of the wholesaler here, for we deal directly with the branch houses of Swift and Armour and the others. The peculiar part of it is that the prices in each of these houses are the same every day.” Colonel Whipple Promoted. Washington, Dec. 4—The president has sent t the senate the nomination of Colonel Charles H.
