Frozen Sheep carcases-Their Importa- tiOn Pans Out Badly.
 LONDON, Jan. 22.-It is stated that the importation of the frozen carcasses of about twenty-one thousand sheep from Australia has involved the company conducting that business in loss exceeding $15,OO At the cattle markets all over the country it is said that the scarcity of live sheep is the of complaint of the butchers, and it appears that this well conducted London company could not land their carcasses of mutton in England under s4d pound, the cost in Australia be- ing not less than 3d. pound. The opinion of well informed persons seems to be that unless the carcases can be bought in Austral- ia under 2d. pound the importation of them in frozen condition cannot even with pres- ent prices be profitable. This failure in so large an import gives, it is felt, new urgency to the question of the entry of live sheep from the United States. There is not so strong plea in regard to German sheep, which are excluded for the same reason-the existence Of foot and mouth disease in the exporting country. The passage from Ger many is short, so short that infected sheep might not display the disease before landing, which, however, is said not to be possible in the case of sheep coming the ten days voyage from the United States If sheep are free from disease on arriving from America every veterinary surgeon admits that from foot and mouth disease they must unquestionably have been free at the time of embarkation, as the utmost period of incubation of that disease is much less than q week. An appi- cation will be made to the privy council strenuously urging the removal of the pres- ent restrictions on the importation of Ameri- can sheep.

Forty Degrees Below-The Oldest Inhab-

 ness Interfered With.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-The intense cold and drifting snow have put an embargo on travel on the Wisconsin division of the Chicago and Northeastern railroad. Dakota and St. Paul passenger trains have been unable to get through for the past two days. There is a suspension of freight traffic throughout the entire length of the division. All through Central and Northern Illinois the thermome- ter ranges from fifteen to forty degrees be- low. The weather paralyzed the oldest in- habitant. The mails are delayed in all di- rections and little effort is made by the post office people to send them over majority of the roads owing to the severity of the weather.
 STAPLEToN, s. l., Jan. 22.-The mercury to day fell to 9 below zero at different places on Staten Island. The ponds and streams that overiowed from the heavy rains were frozen over. The northwest winds caused an unusually low tide about the shores of the island. Large quantities of clans were gathered on the south shore and some of the oyster beds in Prince's Bay were bare. The present cold snap will afford the brewers and others an opportunity to fill their ice houses from the ponds and brooks on the island.
