P R Wigton of the Sioux City Livestock Exchange testified at an interstate commerce hearing that Denver market profits 25 cents per hundred pounds due to a discriminatory rail rate from Fort Collins to Chicago. He cited through rates from Eureka to Chicago at 52 cents versus 76 cents via Sioux City, and described feed lot operations near Sioux City where stock is rest fed then reconsigned at through rates.
