Can- adian cattle cannot be shipped 'through I the United States -to Europe. Thus the whole export trade is confined to one Canadian ..port, that of Montreal, the head of ocean steamship naviga- tion, To this point must come all Can- adian cattle intended for the English market, and there be shipped by one or other of the few lines of steamers sail- ing between that )-Jort and (Teat Brit- --ain. Each line has its representative, at Montreal, and what is easier-4er "• these representatives to meet weekly or oftener, and combine as. to cattle rates. They have their agents in England, cablifig them constantly as to the price of ,cattle. If it goes up, theypti(up-the freight rates, including rates for cattle already on board.

If the markets improve and shippers Want to ship in. time to take advantage of such im- *provements, up go the rates. .In fact, every state of the marketor 'exigency of the cattle trade Iseems to be taken- . advantage of by the' vessel men, to levy , excessive rates. Buyers cannot ascer- tain before buying what the rates wiil be. _Thus with a well-groanded -fear of being charged excessive rates, _they have to buy in ignorance of what the vessel men will charge to carry the cat- tieto market.
