FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
States cattle We're in moderate sup
ply at the British markets during the
past week, and quotations were firm,
with the demand active, under the
lighter offerings. Continued high cost
prices in home trade are conducive to
considerable grumbling on the part of
the shippers, who appear to be very
dissatisfied with the present conditions
of the exchange. Prices are markedly
higher abroad than at the same time
last year, and unless the need for for
eign supplies is much increased, prices
will not be likely to advance.
Late cables from Liverpool and Lon
don quote live cattle firm at 13@14c
per lb. dressed weight; and refrigerator
beef higher at az @10asc. per h.
The amount of cattle shipped from
Boston this last week was an average
supply and was shipped to Liverpool,
London and Manchester. Very few
sheep have been sent across this year,
and those that have been shipped have
curtailed a heavy loss to the export
ers.

 Among the sidewheelers is Thomas W. Lawson, the colt owned by Mcqueen Smith of Prattville. He was cam paigned over the Southern Circuit last year and made q good showing. This year he will be campaigned probably over the Tennessee Circuit, and If they have one, over the Southern Circuit.
