At a sale of Shorth rn cattle held in Toronto last week e average price obtained for animals old for export to the United States as $287.50. The •average price real' ed on animals bought byCanadianpurchasers was, g $223.50. The difference in prices fairly well represents the differ nce between the values ruling for cat e of all kinds in the United Mates an those which ob- tain in tilts province. Pure-bred cattle, purchased for breed g purposes, are higher there than ere; the same is true of cattle purcha ed for feeding or slaughter. Canadia breeders of pure- bred stock are enabl to take advan- tags of the higher pr ccs ruling in the United States for br eding cattle, be- cause registered bre ding stock is al- lowed to enter the U ited States duty free. The Canadian farmer who has nothing but grade ca le to sell cannot take advantage of th American mar- ket because a Unite States duty of ll74 per cent. on the ort of cattle he has to sell elands i the way.The reciprocity agreement provided for the abolition of this dutynd the free en- try of Canadian cattle of all kinds into the United States, T e prices paid by American buyers at est week's sale for pure-bred stock, hien is allowed entryto the A erican market, affords one more i ieation of how much producers of rade cattle are losing every week by the rejection of reciprocity. —.
