FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
The live cattle markets in England
have been strong during the past week
and prices have advanced fractionally
under the better demand. Live cattle
lin London sell at 1874 q l4Ac., dressed
weight, sinking the offal. and in Liver
pool they bring 9R4 101zc, including
the offal Refrigerator beef in London
is firm at 95s q 10c. y new competitor
=
arisen. Seveal shipments of dressed
beef have been made from Venezuela
to England, and while the first were
not satisfactory, the later shipments
arc reported to have met With a good
sale, and to have compared quite well
as to quality with beef from this coun-
try. How extensive this competition
will become is not known, but export
ers here state that it is becoming more
and more difficult to export cattle or
beef at profit to England, owing to
the greater cost of production here
than in other countries.
The exports of cattle from Boston
during the past week were fairly large,
but no dressed beef was shipped.

HORSE TRAFFIC..
The demand for green country horses
has diminished during tho past week,
and prices for these are somewhat low
or than before. At the same time. there
always is Il steady demand for the best
heavy horses. and these can be sold TO
good advantage. The demand for cx-
ira quality. rugged, heavy, acclimatcd
horses is good, both for use in the city
and in the woods, and these have COM
manded high prices. For the ordinary,
common, inferior acClimatcd horses
there is very little demand. and horses
OF this character are obtainablc ut
very low prices. The supply during tho
past week vas about as usual The best
heavy horses. either green or accli-
mated, Sell from $500 to $3.50. with good
medium weights at $2251S3oO. and
lighter horses OF good quality from
$l50M$200. The ordinary secondhand
horses sell from s50Qs100.
Wheeler, McElveen & Co. received 8
express loads of country horses and
about 40 secondhand horses. They re-
port good demand for choice accl-
mated horses and sold q bunch of OK
ira quality and weight to average SS45
each. II other lines there was only a
moderate demand. while the poorer
horses went very slowly at low prices.
Wclch " Hail Co. had a quiet trade,
with no change from the previous
week. They sold about so country and
Sc acclimated horses, prices averaging
about as before.

quiet demand, with prices lower espe-
pially for green horses. some of which.
