Great Britain agitation is being re-
vived for the admission Of Canadian
cattle. Some years ago the Canadian
authorities endeavored to induce Great
Britain to permit their young cattle to
enter Scotland and England, but Irish
prevent 1t. Now it Is Ireland that Ia
short of cattle and the proposition lie
to transfer Canadian stun to Irish
pastures. sending them thence to Eng
land and Scotland for q grain finish.
The scheme is chimerical to a large
extent because the excess OF cattle
that existed ir Canada a few years
ago has entirely disappeared.
av}o w.
the manner in which it has been done
recently is not calculated to popularize
feeding operations. Heavy steers are
not so plentiful that the claim can be
seasonably made that congestion exists.
The result will be to depress values Of
fieshy feeders and it is largely on this
account that demand Is centerinR on
light cattle, and the lighter they are
the more readily feeders go to them
The big steer was in bad odcr last
summer and last fall and the present
