Live Cattle Export The Ontario Marketing Board re- ports that during the past calendar year Canadian exports of live cattle to Great Britain were in excess of 50,000 head: more than three tithes the number forwarded in 1932. On- tario exported some 30,000 animals: or considerably more than half the total Dominion shipments. Assuming mean average value of $50:00 per head, Ontario's export cattle business was worth upwards of 411!,500,000 to the farmers of the Province last year which is an increase of at least $1,- 000,000 over 19.32. Mare intportam•t to the average cat- tle raiser, however, is the fact that the removal of large numbers of cat- tle from the home market has con- siderably improved domestic prices.
