FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE
The export cattle trade between states
| shippers and the English cattle markets
| has apparently come to an end This
week, for the first time in many years,
| there were no shipments of cattle from
either New York or Boston, and there
were also no quotations received ON our
cattle from the markets abroad. But this
| diving out of what was once an extensive
| traffic does not Indicate that exporters
| could not find supplies for shipping, but
| rather goes to show that with the rapidly
increasing population Throughout the
states that cattle dealers can DO a bust
ness in home trade at far better prices
| than are received in England at the pres
ent time, and that there is also 4 demand
sufficient TO use all supplies. Should
prices at Liverpool and London advance
in proportion as they have here during
the past year, no doubt but what the
Il l, no n
few struggling lots of cattle shipped dur
ing the next month or two, but more
than that is not expected
