the British market at slight fractional

was 15lac per ID. for the best beef Of
fered at the London markets. Supplies
were light and of good quality, and the
demand was active.

don quote live, cattle firm at 1914 115Ac

ator beef higher at lie per h.
An unusually large amount of cat
tie were shipped from Boston, during
the past week. with cargoes for the
Liverpool. London and Manchester

THE HORSE TRAFFIC.
The market was quiet. Supplies
We're light, and the trade was mostly
local. with a few orders from the
trade. Horses for commercial
purposes which weighed under 14OO
lbs. moved slowly, and prices on this
class run lower. Heavy draft horses
are in good active demand, both for
fresh country horses. and good condi-
toned secondhand horses. Second
hand horses, which are sound and in'I
good condition sell well in all classes,
but for ordinary horses of this type
there is practically no market. Har-
