Twelve carloads of fat cattle were
shipped' from Exeter on Wednesday
for Montreal, bound u id
, for the Old
Country. This shipment will contain
some of the best fat cattle in West
ern Ontario, one of the Loads aver-
aging 1,600 pounds. This is the first
of four eonsignnnents that will leave
this district during the next two or
three weeks. Cattlemen from this
district have arranged for space with
the White Star Line for the shipping
of 1,500 head of cattle overseas. It
is a co-operative undertaking be-
tween the cattle buyers and breeders
who, owing to the conditions of the
Canadian markets are experimenting
in the European market, The pro-
ject is being handled by Mr, "Wes,
Snell, who is leaving with . the first
shipment for England and who will
have charge of the sales. His brother,
Win, Snell, will look after the fur-
ther consignments from this district.
The first shipment, comprised et
549 head, will.: leave Montreal on.Sa-
turday on the S. S. "Cornishman,`
A special train, made up at Exeter
and supplemented along the line
conveyed the stock to Montreal. The
second consignment; comprising 108.
head, will be shipped on August 17
for Glasgow to be followed later by
90 head for the same port, On .Aug-
ust 20th. space has been secured for
740 head on the S. S. "Welshman"
bound for Liverpool. Since contract-
ing for the space the freight rates
on the railroad have been reduced
and the ocean rates have also been,
lowered ten dollarsa head, which
will mean quite considerable to the
shippers.
Among those from town who are
accompanying the shipment are 'Wes.
