GREAT SEASON FOR CATTLE
Many More Exported From Portlan d
THIS Season Than n Year Ago.

The business of shipping live stock
water has been the - greatest this year
than has ever been known In Portland.
Ever since the sailing Of the first steam.
ship last fall up to the present time
hundreds and hundreds of cattle and
sheep have arrived at the stock yards in
East Deering and thsn exported. Yester-
day, Dr. Il. W. Huntington, the local
cattle inspector, said that the records
would show that between four and i've
thousands more cattle had been shipped
from Portland thus far this season than
last season at this time. This week
Will probably be the banner week Of
the season In this line, as nearly, II no:
indeed, all of the outgoing steamships
will take cattle and sheep. Yesterday
morning $50 cattle arrived at the stock
ards from the West, making about 500
head that are now waiting to be sent
across. Besides the cattle there are some
800 sheep at the yards. The increase in
the number OF sheep SAINT across thus far
Will be about the same a. OF cattle.
The Fremona of the Thomson line,
which cleared yesterday and which Will
probably sail for London today, will have
aboard ago cattle included in the number
being many sheep. The prices for cattle
have been very good during the entire
season.
The Strathnevis OF the Elder Dsmpster
line has been for several days expected
to arrive at this port. Yesterday she
had been 25 days out from Bristol. Man
ager Stewart accounted former long delay
on account of the fact that she has only
SO tons of cargo. Had she not been so
light he said that there would have been
little trouble in coming along all right.
The Ottoman OF the Dominion line
and the Mexican OF the Leyland line,
are scheduled to sail tomorrow.
