Packers Hit by Baitain.

Chicago packers will lose millions of dollars in trade because of a prohibitive ruling made by the British war office and unofficially announced here today. Dating from June 1 next, the war office has decreed, no contracts for meats to be used by the British army will be entered into unless it is known that such meats are home bred. This, of necessity, will bar out American product.
