A meoting was held in the Chamtor of Commerco Moudny afternoon, and tho matter thorongly discussed by tho provision men, who wera very indignant because Mr. White, editor of Tne TrisuNg, at first refusod to give the namoof the writer of the obuoxions article, During the dis- cussion, which was very ~heated, Mr, Ranuoy stated that ho beligved some of thoe obnoxious stetemonts might bo trug, asit was o protty common story that some classes of* Enrk wero 80 badly mado up there was no mar- et for thom in the Regular Board,—an assor- tion which could bo proved by some of'the most rcaponsiblo packers in tho city; and tho fact that thore was some truth in what 'Lue Trinoye writer had put forward could not Le altered in the public mind, The'name of the author of tho charges was finolly obtained from Mr, Whito, and the members of the Ohicago Provision and Packing Company expressed thoir determinn- tion to moko a tuorough investigation of the matlor, and seo wlio was to blame for soured meanty received by Lastorn housos from Chicago dealers, if any such had been 1oceived., From the Louwsville (Ky.)
