FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
States cattle held steady in the Brit
ish market, with a good demand. Sup
plies have averaged very light this
year, owing TO the high price on West
ern cattle, and the consequent curtail-
ing of profit to shippers. Space is
taken very slowly on the Boston
steamers. and contracts are NOT made
for any length of time ahead.
Late cables from Liverpool and Lon
don quote live cattle, firm at 1874 a
14Kc. per ID. dressed weight; and re-
frigerator beef steady at 1O% Ollie
per lb.
No London boat carried livestock
during the week, and there was only
one for Liverpool. and one for Man.
