During the week there was a large,
amount of livestock exported from
New York, than has been shipped ioi
some time past. One shipment was
lof 100 cattle for London; the secoho
ia so sheep to Bermuda, and the thlfa,
81 sheep to the West Indies. tntil
those few last shipments from New
York. there have been no eXportatiohs
| To the English markets, and In coHse-
| oIence there have been no quotations
| given on American cattle, but TIT
rket abroad is amply supplied by
| Australian and South American cattie
| as well as home fed stock, quotations
abroad have not advanced as sharply
As in the States and there is seeming
llv little to induce shippers to con-
| tinue sending cattle to England under
present conditions of trade.
