Increase of the Cattle Trade,

Activity continues in #thczcattle
trade Of this city, both as2regartls
shipments to Europe and also in
the. matter of large purchases, By
dealers for home consumption. Tho
restrictions placed by the English
privy council upon cattle landing
at Liverpool have naturally Affect
cd the trade, and had it not been
for this dealers say that sufficient
cattle would have been sent during
tho past month to load from y to
90 steamers. Even as matters
stand, however, this new traffic ] is
growing. Tomorrow the steam
ship Eduardo sails from this port
with 12O head Of prime cattle, and
Mr.. Charles Thompson, of Chicago

ranging with the agents Of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad lin that

cicnt cattle to load two steamers to
sail on April q and May1; At
the yards Of NIessrs. A: Red
seeker, & Co, at tile corner Of West
Pratt and Payson streets, from
fifty to sixty car loads are arriving
weekly, chiefly from Ohio, although
within the past two weeks cattle
have also come from ST. Louis and
Chicago. The yards are'ccnveni-
Ont to the tracks Of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad, and the accom-
modations are good. Cattle freely
bring 6to Ct cents per pound on
the hoof. So far no symptom OF
any disease has shown itself, and
every animal is subject to a rigid
examination by Mr., ohara, the
government inspector. Dealers arc
now coming to the city from many
parts Of the country, including
Ohio, Illinois and East and West
Virginia .-Amongst the most
prominent arc Nelson Morris, o.
