LIVE STOCK.
(Continued from page -

closiCg prices of the year were pre-
cicely the same as last week in 1901,
and now that the firm Of j. p. Squire
& Ce.sa again doing business in a
cramned condition of former years,
this industry for Boston is fast coming
to the front in the live stock line.
Dealers in cattle at the present time
are having their hands full on account
of the present quarantine, not only OF
the expectation of cattle for England,
but in the selling of store cattle which
is prohibited for the time being. 1t is
understood that the worst is over with
regard to the disease and gradually
The quarantine will effectually be wiped
out, and the resumption of expectation
and home trade in stock, will reach it's
normal condition. The market for veal
calves has been of large proportions
and prices have been we'll sustained
through the whole season, and it would
hardly seem possible that 104,S72 head
over and above such as are raised for
beef and store could ever find their
way to market. Not since 1898 has the
arrivals of sheep and lambs been as
heavy as the past year, fact quite en-.
courag ing to the lamb raising country
and shows an increased demand; also
an increased supply of horses have
been put upon the market for which
good prices have been effected.
The general tone of the live stock
market for the past season has been.
tlattering in all its departments. Only
in cattle have arrivals fallen short for
the year, there being less by 2O,714
head and a rough estimate on total
values of arrivals, $4,000, 100000.
The excess in sheep arrivals 2S,031
head the bulk of arrivals for the year
We're from the West, being of good
quality and desirable for slaughter
with best lambs at $5.75 per 100lbs, and
best sheep at S4.25 per 100tbs, the es-
timated cost of the years supply
$1,916, $4,000.
Fat hogs have arrived freely and
much larger numbers than the two pre-
ceding years With a total of 1,431,17
head and if the above would average
$13 a head the total valuation would
be $1S,605, 236.00. AS the exports of
the hog product is considerable it is
very necessary that the quality should
be the hest to meet competition from
other countries.
The veal calf market has been in a
hourishing condition up to the first of
the past month, when arrivals We're
especially light, still as a years supply
an increase of 1899 head, with a total
valuation OF 1924 100000
Horse dealers claim a good selling
year, and as many if not all arrivals
of Western horses are sold on commits
sion a safe business. Supplies have in
creased 1865 head over previous year,
with an estimated horse value of $125
per head on Western from which point
26,957 head arrived, would bring sales
up to $3,269, $500, say nothing of near
by horses (acclimateD of which near
800 head week are sold, or 1860 head
a year, that would average $50 a head.
1t is safe to say that the past year
has been one of profit to all concerned,
with a total business of over $4,000
10000 and giving employ to thousands
of people, and may the year just en-
tered be as profitable as in 1902. A
happy New Year to all.
