There were 963 cattle and 604 pigs on offer. Choice exotic steers sold from $88 to $92 with sales to $99.50; good steers ranged from $84 to $87.

This continuing cut throat business of the United States has no intention of altering current subsidized international trading practices and is aimed at undermining Canada’s trade po­ tential as much asthoseof other exporting countries” Briscoe charged.
