Export Of Cattle.
The exports of live cattle and dressed
beef from the United States to the
United Kingdom are among the pleas-
antest features of the commercial sit-
uation just at present, says the New
York Tribune. Last week the exports
were equal to 14,000 head of cattle,
which is said to be unfrecented in the
history of the business- To accomo-
date this great trade every regular
steamer that leaves the United States
is used, except the Cunard line. Even
the superb Inman liner, the City ol
Paris, took 2000 quarters of beef. The
carrying of passengers by the National
line steamers is stopped, mainly for
the purpose of exporters who want to
ship live cattle. The National, Bea-
ver and Hill lines are occupied almost
entirely in carrying live cattle. This
boom in exportation has been growing
I steadily for ten months, and is owing
to the fact that cattle are low in price
