PLEURA.PNEUMONIA.

A Disease that Threatens to Check the
Expore of American Cattle - English
Dealers Taking Steps to Defend Their
Interests.
New YoRn, Jan. S1.-News that the British
government had prohibited the importation
of live cattle from America has created con-
siderable excitement among shippers of live
stock, and also among snip owners, several
lines of steamers running from this and
other American ports having made large
contracts ahead for 1879. The Eoening Post
says: 'During the summer months last
year many of the large steamers of the
National line were especially fitted up and
wholly devoted to this business, the num-
Der of cattle shipped by single vessel often
numbering more than 400. The alleged
decision of the English government was en-
tirely unexpected. The present is the dull
est time in the trade, but even now there are
probably more than 1900 head of cattle on
the way to England. Two cargoes consigned
by Goldsmith & Taffee arrived at Liverpool
yesterday, and Phillips said he had received
no word from their agent there of any at
tempt to prevent their landing. The British
vice consul says he had no official notifies
ton of any attempt on the part of the
British government to prevent the importe-
ton of American cattle.
TIE BRITISH MINISTER.

lister has informed the department. of state

in cargo of cattle on the ship Ontario,

whether they can retain the

the 50th schedule of the act of 1878.
EXAGGERATED.
LIVERPOOL, Jan. 31.-The privy council de-
partment has under consideration the sub
ject Of future arrivals of cattle from America.
Those engaged in the trade contend that I'M
necessary alarm has been created out of the
Ontario's case and dispute the statement
that the animals suffered from pleura- pneu-
monia. They have retained veterinary sur
geons of high repute to act as check upon
the privy council inspectors.
