Big Shipments of CattIe.-The Be

Big Shipments of Cattle.-The Bos-
ton & Maine has secured contracts for
the shipment of cattle from Newport to
Boston, taking the cars from the Cana
dian Pacific at Newport. The shipments
are Canadian cattle for export and the
business will prove an important addi-
ton to the railroad as we'll as to the
foreign commerce OF Boston, as it is to
continue throughout the year.
These consignments have heretofore
been sent to ST. John, N. B., but they
have been taken by the steamship COM
panies with little or no profit, as there
was no return cargo neither were the
shipments of miscellaneous freight from
the provincial seaport sufficient to guar
antee full outward cargoes. By a very
satisfactory traffic agreement with the
Canadian Pacific the Boston & Maine is
in a position to realize handsome
revenue from this added business.
