How LIVE SToCK is EXPORTED TO EUROPE.
The Dominion Line steamship Mississip-
pi sailed from this port at noon to-day
bound for Liverpool and Queenstown, with
large cargo, including eighty head of live
cattle. These animals were driven to the
dock Monday morning and placed one at a
time in a wooden box, which was hoisted
above the hold of the vessel, after which
they were lowered to the quarters which
they are to occupy during the passage
across the ocean. On each side of the
steerage deck of the Mississippi are ar.
ranged number of apartments or stalls,
each having a capacity of accommodating
two steers, and of such dimensions as to
prevent the animals from injurying them
selves from the rolling of the vessel during
rough weather. Feed troughs are placed
at the head of the animals, and the supply
of feed is stored in the forward part of the
steerage deck.-PhAa. Erenipg Telegraph
