FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
The English cattle markets were
steady during the past week and with
out change in quotations. Supplies
were moderate and there was a fair
demand,
Late cables from London quoted the
cattle market steady at 12A @13Ac. per
lb-, dressed weight, sinking the offal;
at Liverpool, live cattle, at 10h611c.
per lb, dressed weight, in addition to
the offal.
There was not a heavy supply of
cattle shipped from either Boston or
New YORK during the past week. Two
steamers carried live stock to Liver
pool from Boston, and the amount
was nearly equally made up of States
ana Canadian cattle, which has not
been the rule of late, the larger
amount having been of Western ranch
cattle.
