FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
The British market for export beee
from the States and Canada held firm,
during the past week, with prices con-
tinuing about " cent in advance at
the London market over those held at
Liverpool. Supplies were light which
helped to an active demand.
Late Liverpool and London cables
quote live cattle selling at 13@14l2
per ID. dressed weight; and refrigera-
tor beef, firm, at 1O% @10%c per Id.
A heavier supply was shipped from
Boston during the week. Three boats
were well filled with cattle for the
Liverpool and London markets. About
one half of the shipment was of Cana
dian stock which can at present be
bought at prices under those obtained
at Chicago, and other Western points.
Freight rates for steamer space are
said to be letting out at lower prices.
but exact figures are not given out.

fol off
Hogs held strong at 7hmSAc. The
supply was quite large, but the supply
in the country is becoming depleted.

prices are attractive to raisers and
