FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
There was an expectation of 81 cattle
and so sheep on the Bermudian destined
for the Bermudas, and shipped from
| New York, during the week. AS prices
on nearly all kinds of livestock are high
err and as the supply is not large in the
States, there is little probability of there
being any expectations of livestock from
| this country at present in any amount, as
our markets take readily ell offerings
| Importations thus far have not been in
terfered with by foreign affairs, as the
supply comes from Australia and South
America and has been received in fairly
heavy amounts.
