FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
The British market for export beef cat
tie was firm at slightly stronger quota
tions. Supplies have ruled light for the
past few months. which has helped the
demand. The best grades of beef are sell
ing in the foreign market at what would
have been called exceptionally high prices
two years ago, but under present condi-
tons of home trade is not high enough
to suit shippers. AS yet there is no III
dcation of a reduction of prices on West
ern cattle suitable for expectation.
Late cables from Liverpool and London
quote live cattle strong at l3iM14!c. per
ID, dressed weight, and refrigerator beef
higher at 10sMll.c. per lb.
Three steamers from Boston carried
cattle to Liverpool, London and Manches
ter, but some of the boats sailed without
their usual cargo of cattle.
