DRESSED BEEF RErrER-

The annual report Of the secretary OF
agriculture is particularly interesting
because Of its reference TO current trou-
bles with foreign governments over the
importation Of American products.
He reviews the subject of foreign mar
kets and gives figures OF four agricul-
tural experts, especially those of Great
Britain. That country paid during the
year 1893 for American breadstuffs, pro-
visions, cotton and tobacco over 1924
100000. Including about S1O, 900 worth
of mineral oils with agricultural ex-
ports, the United Kingdom took 54.3l
per cent of all exports of breadstuffs,
provisions, mineral oils. cotton and to-
bacco. OF dressed beef Great Britain
took from us, during the first six months
of the year 1894, $1,000 600 worth. Aus
tralasia is our chief competitor for the
trade. Mr. Morton deems it proba bile
that the American farmer will find more
advantage from the shipment Of dressed
beef than from the expectation Of live
cattle.
