In the matter of cattle receipts ST. Louis
suffered the creates loss. Chicago next.
was light Many more hogs were handled
everywhere. Sheep. however, were marketed
less freely everywhere with the exception
OF Omaha, which reports a liberal gain.
The Mexican cattle trade continues to run
light. Joseph w. Parker, of the bureau OF
animal industry, in his report for Deem
Der, shows that less than 1900 cattle We're
admitted into the States for all purposes
and that the imports were less than one
fourth as large as in December. 1891, while
compared with December. 1896. they were
but little more than one-tenth as large.
and for December. 1895. less than ore-tenth
as large. The great difference these last
two years Is largely explained by the fact
under the Wilson law. which admitted
them practically free of duty. while since
July. 1897. an import duty of about $40
per head has been imposed, thus shutting
out many of the poorer and cheaper cat
tie.
For the year the imports have been less
than 30 per cent as large as last year, but
within 1900 as great as 1896. Sheep, too.
show a marked falling off, but more goats
and hogs were admitted than last year.
