FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
The only expectation of livestock for
foreign ports from the Atlantic coast
was a shipment from New York for
! Bermuda, which included rs cattle and
| 50 sheep. Since the beginning of the
| year, when shipments OF dressed
| meats from Australia and the Argen-
| tine began to assume fair proportions,
the foreign cattle trade has shown lit
| tie If any change. Shipments from
| Boston and New York for the London
and Liverpool markets are the excep-
/ ton rather than Their ule, and the
| entire traffic is confined to small week
" shipments from New York for Ber-
muda Prices on domestic beef have
held strong, as supplies are light, and
the demand for fresh meats is GOOD
| at the present prices. Beef cattle are
very scarce, but there seems to be
| some slight interest in the breeding OF
stock for marketing, but the risk or
profits is too great to make much ac-
| tivity.

was a little uneven during the week,
| but on the whole, sales We're of good
