FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
There was no change in the quota
tons for beef cattle at the English
markets during the week. London
quoted live cattle selling at 14A6
f4&c. per lbs dressed weight, sinking
the offal; at Liverpool, live cattle. at
10@ i0&c. per Id, dressed weight in

both to the London and Liverpool
markets, but the amounts We're very
light From Boston the first shipment
for several weeks past consisted in
shipment by Swift e Co to Liver
pool, of 200 Canadian cattle, and 500
States sheep. From New York there
We're 100 cattle shipped to London.
There is no immediate promise of a
continuance of the amount of the
shipments of a year ago, but it is
likely that there will be small amounts
sent forward from time to time
through the fan and winter s.a4 )

commercial purposes out into the
country. The demand was urgent for.
heavy horses. but the lighter weight
delivery horses We're slow. and aver
age sales were lower, although the
general range was about as before.

dealers and there has not been as
