The Beef-ExpOrting Business.

With the approach of winter the ex-
port of live cattle to England is falling
off. The Cunard line has suspended
the business for the present, while the
Warren line will probably do much
less during the winter. The Canadians
are still shipping from Portland. The
Brazilian of the Warren line sailed on
Saturday with 252 steers and 1000
sheep. The steamer has been fit
ted with thirty-four additional ven
tllators; the fixtures for securing
the cattle have been changed so
that each steer now has three feet in
width by eight feet of depth, instead of
only two feet six inches by eight feet.

TO the pen. There is an iron guard
around the hatchways, about seven feet
nigh. This is left open at the top Tex
cept in stormy weather), and of course
conduces to better ventilation. Each
steer is secured by stanchions, covered
with sheep-skin with the wool on, to
prevent chatting. Jumps of rock-salt
are placed in the feeding troughs, and
periodically the steers are fed and wa
tered. veterinary surgeon goes out
in the ship. Thus the effort is made to
make the voyage safe and comfortable.
1t is undeniable, however, that the
storms of winter render the business
more precariods, and the rate of insur
ance has gone up accordingly Few
OF our offices are willing to take these
risks. There will be cattle shipments
probably to limited extent, all through
the winter, and orders for choice steers
TO arrive out just before Christmas,
have already been given.
There will be large shipments Eof
fresh beef in refrigerators, and the
market will be held, so that when
spring opens the business of shipping
cattle will be pressed with vigor. The
export business in both forms is regard
ed as Legitimate, and is largely on the in
crease, but both have their risks. Iflive
cattle are shipped, but few companies
are willing to write against the hazards,
