FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
The British market for States cattle
was weak during the past week, with
fractional decline in quotations both on
he offerings of live cattle and beef quar-
ers. Supplies were too abundant and
he demand was backward. Beef cattle
we're quoted lie. lower per h.
Late cables from Liverpool and Lon
ion quote live cattle lower at l. 1-2MlS
'-4c. per h., dressed weight; and refrig-
orator beef lower at 5-SG10c. per III.
Exporters while undoubtedly making a
profit on their shipments, consider the
margin small this year in comparison
with other years of recent date. Only
TWO steamers carried cattle this week
IRON Boston. and the amount was not
heaNy. The entire amount was of State
cattle, excepting few head of Canadian
stock
