Of Far-Wcst cattle during 1881 were
1875 head, including wintered
Texans, half-brceds and Americans.

Drovers Journal:-Mr. 7. c. Eastman
arrived at New York from a visit to
England on the 10th inst. He doesn't
share in the gloomy forebodings con
corning the export business. He says
that England is getting quite as much
b'fl to Nv ItOl'lC VIII uot AT lltntIl
prices from other sources than from the
United States, and that the American
beef export business can only be profit
able VIXEN the cost of beef cattle here
is less than in British markets by as
much or more than the cost of freight,
commissions, shrinkage, insurance, etc.

cattle have been worth more in New
York or Boston than in Liverpool OF
London, after charging them with
freight and insurance and every cargo
