FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
The British market for beef cattle
held strong during the first part OF
last week. with prices of the previ-
Gus week well maintained and the de-
brisk. Later in the week the market
weakened under too heavy supplies,
and prices declined materially.
t. Late cables quote the market for
live cattle at Liverpool and London
lower, at 11AM12l@c. per ID. dressed
weight with a few choice lots high
e.; refrigerator beef, lower at 91s@loc

Three steamers from Boston carried
| cattle to Liverpool, London and Man
chester, during the past week. The
supply was fairly heavy. but the
amount shipped was 1000 head less
| than a week back, and some extra
good steers were included in the ship
ment.
