Cattle Quota Filled; Higher
Imposed
Under the Canada -United State:
Trade Agreemenrt, which came into
effect on January 1, P9316, Canada
with Mexico was granted a quota of
155.799 head of cattle. Of 7(10 Ih, weight
or more each in any one year at 2
cents- per pound duty instead of the
usnal three tents per pound. As a 1•e -
stilt of the quota now beim; lined. the
three rents rate became effective on
all cattle exported from. Canada to the
United States weighing 700 lb. or
more each during the remainder of
this year under an order issued by the
United States Commissioner of C'tts-
tnnts elated August 12, 1930. As at
August 19, Canada had exported 139,-
690 head of cattle o111 of the 4;55,749
allowed, Mexico, having presumably
sent the remainder. Refund of the ex-
tra late cent duty imposed will he
made to shippers whose cattle enter-
ed the United States prior to the fill-
ing of the allotment.
