FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
There were So cattle, 10 sheep and
10 hogs shipped from New York to
Bermuda. This shipment covering the
expectations of the week. The export

of the past, and cattle men through
out the country can find a good homo
market for all their offerings at bet

being heavily drawn upon for sup
plies, both here and at the foreign
markets, and this source of increas-
ing the beef supply in the United

made any decline in the high cost OF
living, for all meats are only to be
bought at the higest of values recorded
for years.

Boston, March 3.
There was an excellent demand for
all classes of commercial horses at the
sale stables during the week, consider
ing the weather, and a good clearance
was made with the market steady.
Supplies We're not as heavy as expect
ed as the severe weather prevented
shipmnt of many carloads. The local
demand was brisk and called for all
kinds of commercial horses, although
| best on the big horses, of which an ex-
ira large amount have been called in
to use for teaming purposes during the
past two weeks. There was an extra
good class of heavy drafters offered
this week, and these commanded high
values both in singles and pairs. Sec
onds were entreed in limited amounts
and with the exception of some special
sales where good bargains were to
be bought, sales We're slow and unless
above the ordinary. low figures ruled.
