The British Government has issued an
order prohibiting the importation OF live
Canadian cattle. The slaughter at Edin-
burgh OF 1,200 head of cattle. brought
from Canada TO Scotland on the steam
ships Huron and Monskeaton, and sup
posed to be infected with pleuro-
pneumonia, has caused many protests
from the farmers OF Fifeshire, Forth
shire, and Forfarshire The Board Of Agri-
culture undoubtedly proceeded without
sufficient investigation. and thereby has
caused severe losses among the men who
accepted deliveries OF the suspected cattle.
The board was confident that the cattle
which had died had plcuro- pneumonia, but
the examination of the lungs of two OF
them by eminent veterinary surgeons shows
that the disease was bron cho-pneumonia.

BUSINESS ACTIVE.

Better than Ever Before in a Pre- iidentiai
Campaign.
r. G. Dun & CoTpany's weekly review Of
trade says:
Even in the last week before "A Presiden-
tial election business continued active;
indeed the volume Is far beyond any prece-
dent for - similar period. The election has
plainly diminished business in two ways;
Inultitudes have been diverted from trade
20 political activity. and many more have
chosen to postpone transactions until the
political uncertainty has been removed.
The fact that even under such circum-
stances trade has been of enormous volume
shows how powerful is the impetus toward
activity and expansion. The people are
clearly buying more goods than ever be-
fore, and in some branches manufacturers
are realizing a slight advance in prices
Money is closer at some Western points,
but nowhere Is stringency seen, and there
Is no apprehension as TO the immediate
future.
