FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
The shipments of livestock for for
eign ports by United States exporters
were light, during the week. From
Boston there was a shipment of $50
Canadian cattle sent to Liverpool. by
the Canadian, by Swift & Co. FroiA
New York there We're $50 cattle ship
ped on the Minneapolis for London
and &c sheep by the Bermudian for
Bermuda. The entire shipment of the
week was 800 cattle and 26 sheep.
Drought in certain portions of the
stock raising states have caused heavy
shipments of cattle, during the past
two weeks, and prices have been from
4 arc. lower in consequence, but this
decline is only temporary, and prices
of beef cattle are expected to advance,
as there seems to be no doubt but
what there will be scarcity of stock
for sometime to come.
