winnipeg, Man., Aug. s1.--J. T. Cor
don, member of the provincial par
lament and one of the heaviest cat
tie shippers In the northwest, said yes
terday. The cattle export trade Is
most unsatisfactory from the shippers
standpoint. Ranchers are shipping In
half-fe cattle, which it is very hard
to dispose Of in England. The OUT
look for cattle shipments is not at all
promising. To date this year our firm
has shipped $1,000 head, much more
than ever before, but their condition
was not up to the average"
