Kansas City, April a.3. - At a meeting of the members of the Kansas City Livfi Stock exchange the action oí Secretary Morton in regard to tho racent advance ia the price of raeats was up for disDussion. At its conclusión Secretary il. P. Woodbury was directed through the board of directors to send Secretary Morton the following teriegrara: "We, the members of the Kansas City Live Stock exchange, have noticed with profound regre; the newspaper agitation about the cost of live stock and the unwarranted and untrue statements made. "Alleged conversations with you of a proposed investigation have been the basis of a series of newspaper articles which'have had the effect of causing tho market for live stock to be unwarrantably agitated. We can only attributo this and its consequent serious loss to tho direct results of reports alleged to origínate from your department concerning investigations you proposo to mako. Prices of live stock havo decreased correspondingly with tho consumption of beef, and we therefore respectively protust against the widespread agitation ior which your department seems responsible and respectfully suggest that investigation be made quickly and without lurther harmful agitación. We court a full and thorough investigation of all interests connocted with tho live stock market."
