Fresh Meat From Uruguay

According to the report of United
States Consul Albert W. Swain. at
Montevideo, the exports of fresh meat
from the River Plate show Il steady
increase. Nearly two years ago the
export of live stock from the River
Plate to Europe was embargoed bv
reason of the foot and mouth disease
ana while the disease has disappaared
The quarantine remains. This has
caused a marked development of the
refrlgerated beef industry. so that
three lines of steamers, including the
Royal Mail Packets. have been fitted
to carry beef in quarters TO the English
markets.
These beef exports, Ito October /.
l9ol. have amounted to 347 1924 quar-
lers. as against 1859 for the same
period of 1900 During the same nine
months 1,93O.642 frozen sheep were ex
ported to Europe. The River Plate can
easily furnish from 100000 to 4,OOO.
ooo quarters of beef for export.
The cattle used for the trade cost an
average of $23 to $50 gold per head at
the killing market. The best sheen for
freezing cost an average of So Der
