FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
There were no shipments during the
week for the export trade, bat there
seems to be some expectation thai
there will be some expectations o.
livestock for the English markets
during December. No quotations have
been made on American cattle, but the
reports on the London and English
markets indicate a sufficient supply
with no marked advance in quota
lions. This month the trade between
the States and the beef cattle markets
abroad has been represented only il
dressed meats, no livestock having
been sent over during the entire
month, in fact the only shipment has
been of so cattle and so sheep to thu
Bernudas But to offset this cessation
of traffic there has been UNUSUAL!
