PATCH is AN ERROR.

PATCH Is AN ERROR.
Mr.. Love, the live stock representative OF the
Atlantic Transport Line. in commenting on the
dispatch from London published yesterday re-
garding the short supply Of beeves and the snaIl
importation from the United States, said that
the statement that not single bullock had been
landed at Deptford Market this week was an
error becausa the Manitou which had num-
ber of cattle on board. landed there on Wednes-
day.
There is no doubt that tie supply of beeVes
in England is short" he said The question is
not one of a shortage in the supply. but the
prices are high in the Chicago market. In the
London market there is no responsiveness in
proportion. so shippers are holding back the
cattle as much as possible They do not care
to lose money I know of where the loss
has been as high as $11 a head. Cattle ships
are begging for cattle. ' believe the shortage
in the corn crop is at the bottom of the whole
thing"
