CANADIAN CATTLE EAIRAHGO.
The embargo On cattle shipments through
Cannda WIS raised yesterday, md there is
great rejoicing tlloreat among tile managers
Of Tie Canadian roRtis. 1t Is Just fourteen
months and nineteen days since tho
Caua,linn Goyernment prohibited the trnns-
portutiou Of Cattle through tile Dominion
Of Caua.lu,-on the alleged ground
that pleuro-pncun,0nl existed a1nong
cattle In tho Western States,-alld
since TINT ttme tho Ca,sutla roads were pre-
vented from doing n through cattle traffic.

cNttle-raisers. III 1t has not tralisplretl that
my cattlo llsnase was prevalent III tho Vest

1t Is moro than likely TINT the raising Of
the elaDarg0 on cattlo shipments through
Canada will l,avo tho effect of breaking
down tho exorbltaIt cattle rates to tho East
prevailing now Tor more tlnM n yeAr. The
rate OIL cutt!u Is now Ii cents per 100 pounds
from Chcago to New York, not spuaking nt
I'LL Of tlla exOrhltant extra charges
for lay, bedding, ynrtling, etc. According
to Il statement published by Conlnls-
SlUNG4 fllh Olt LlG 1{tI I'll IIlNA UkUuLn,
It costs the rnllr0ads bilt II cents per loo
