FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
States cattle were in good demand
| in the British markets during the past
| week and the market was firm at un-
| changed quotations both on live cat
| tie and refrigerator beef Prices for the
present year compared with this of a
yea. ago show very little change and
as prices on Western cattle are mate
| rally higher. exporters claim to have
| done business with the Liverpool and
| London markets at loss. Shipments
| of aheep have been very light during
the past year and cattle shipments
during the past two months have been
materially lightened.
| Late cables from Liverpool and Lon
don quote the market for live cattle
| hrm at l4@15c per h., dressed weight;
| and refrigerator beef at l1Ml11hc per
h.
There was no London boat during
the past week. and only two steamers
carried forward livestock, one for Liv-
erpool and one for Manchester. Both
boats had space but partially taken.
anc the entire amount was from Can
| ada.
