FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
The only expectations of the week
from Atlantic ports were al cattle
shipped from New York to the Ber-
mudas. In the previous week there
were no expectations of livestock. Sup
plies in all lines Of livestock at the
local markets have been light, with
very few extra stock received outside
of the regular shipments received from
the West. New York state and the
New England states. Importations, on
the other hand, are of large amounts
of dressed meats, and are helping the
shortage. Conditions of expectations
and importations are unchanged;
prices have shown no material change
during the past month.
