ARGENTINE LETS DOWN BARS.
American Cattle No Longer Under
Embargo Against Entry.

Cattle from the United States herea fter
will be allowed entry into the Argentine
Republic, the president of that country
having issued a degree resembling the en-
barge against such importations.
A dispatch to that effect has been re-
ceived at the State Department from
Minister Sheriff. at Buenos Aires. The
embargo has been in force several
years. although perhaps not continuously,
with the result that American cattle eX-
ports to the South American republic have
fallen off considerably.
The action of Congress in placing hides
on the free list is believed to have in
f1uenced this step by Argentina.
