According to repent gables from London,
the number of cattle arriving in that pity
at the beginning of the week was so large
that the lairages in world's great metrop-
olis were not sufficient to afford them full
acommodation, and as the beasts bad to
be slaughtered, prices were knocked down,

ing td to ld per lb., which was a drop of

The Montreal Trade Bulletin, July 9th

boxes for the corresponding period last
year. The value of this season's shipments

Prof. Robertson went to England on
the Labrador with the first consignment
ander the new cold storage system. The
prinicipal feature of the, shipment was 100
quarters of Canadian dressed beef, which
are to be put upon the British market as
an experiment. This is the first attempt
on this scale to place Canadian dressed beef
before the British consumers. A cable
message has been received from Prof. Rob-
ertson who is at Liverpool, stating that
the beef arrived in England in prime con-
dition, and that every thing points to the
successful issue of the experiment. The
opinion of the department bore is that the
beef would improve rather than deterior-
ate in tbo course of transit. A special corn •
partment was made for the beef in the ves-
sel, which was under the constant inspeo-
tion of the departmental expert. If the
experiment proves• as much a saccus fi-
nancially as it has otherwise the moat im•
portant results may be expected to the
trade of Canada.
