FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE
The foreign cattle market declined
sharply during last week. Prices dropped
from IL to 1c. per pound. The supply
was too heavy for the consumption and
the demand was slack. Refrigerator beef
was firm, selling at an advance of 1-2c
per pound.
Late cables from Liverpool and London
quote the beef cattle market lower, at 800
IS SAC. per lb. dressed weight; and re-
frigerator beef higher at 10 1-4@1O 1-2c
per Id.
Last weeks shipment was the heaviest
from Boston during many years. Six
steamers had space filled to the utmost
carrying capacity, and the supply was
sent forward to four ports, Liverpool,
London, Manchester and Glasgow. The
whole amount was shipped by the three
regular Boston shippers. The unusual
amount of cattle shipped last week is
| said to be due to the quarantine en-
forcement at Philadelphia and New
York, as these ports have been closed for
some time past, dealers cannot hold back
stock much longer under the uncertainty
Of the opening of said ports.
