shortage of Cattle Influences English
 Market


 London. June i2.-The retail trade organizations have been given notice of a further general rise in the price of meat. the advance being attributed to the shortage of cattle here and the scarcity in America.
 In the House of Commons last night several members. protested against the Board of Agriculture's continued re- fusal to withdraw the prohibition against the importation of cattle for immediate slaughter from disease-free countries, alleging that this refusal was playing into the hands of the American meat combine.
 Sir Edward Straichey, the represen- tative of the Board of Agriculture, of the House. denied that the operations of the so-called meat trust tended to raise the prices. On the contrary, he said. the policy of the trust in bring ing dead meat into the country in pref erence to live cattle was an economi- cal method, tending to lower the prices.
