FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
The British market for export beef
held steady during last week, with
latest advices showing quotations at
an advance of 1ac. on all good quality
beef, over those held in the preceding
week. With the foreign trade good,
shippers are, however, necessarily linn
iting their shipments, as the home
trade makes business transactions un-
profitable, under the present high
price of Western stock, suitable for
expectation. Shipments during the
past week from Boston were the light
est recorded for the present year, on
ly two out of the five steamers sched-
uled for live freight sent forward cat
tie. and other State ports are reported
as shipping equally light.
Late cables quote live cattle steady
at 12M14c. per lb. dressed weight; and
refrigerator beef higher, at 1O4c. per
lb
