FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
The beef cattle market at Liverpool
and London was not quite as active as
in the preceding week. Receipts were
fairly heavy, both of home fed cattle
and from supplies received from out
side. consequently quotations We're
somewhat lower, advices showing a
decline of about Ae. per Id.
Late cables from London quote live
cattle, selling at 12h per ID,
dressed weight. sinking the offal; at
Liverpool, live cattle sold at l0l%@llc.

offal
United States exporters grumble
from time to time that is impossible
| to ship cattle from this country al a
profit. in competition with those ship

tralia, but despite this fact, exporters
have sent forward larger amounts so
far this year than in 1910.
No steamers from Boston carried
| livestock to the British markets the
past week, but four are expected to
carry livestock cargoes this week.
| From New York shipments We're fair
| ly heavy, specially of beef quarters,
over 1000 quarters being included.
HORSE MARKET.

than a week ago. and values were firm
at the level of the past two weeks.

as is usual at this season. Supplies
were rather light but dealers reported

work horses, drafters. wagon horses
and extra heavy farm chunks. Good
lacclimated horses and sound second
hand horses are selling very well. in

this type being over, as the mountain
[. and beach resorts are well supplied
for the summer, and there is little call
from other sources for ordinary horses
