TOE, CATI'LE
• A. meeting- of the Cattle Dealers' As'
sociation, of Ontario, was held in Toron-
to, en Monday, for the, intrpose of -dis-
cussing matters relating tO the present
embargo en cattle, in consequence of the
Supposed presence of pleuro-pneurnouia
in the Western States. Several -from
different parts of the province were in
attendance, amine' them Was Mr. M00-
ney, frona this ple'ace. As the que.stion
is one 'of great importance to rna,ny of
our readers,- we give a brief synopsis of
BoIlle of_the speeches.
• The Tresident -said a hopeful sign to
be taken in connectien with, the ship -
merit of cattle was the fact that two or
three ships freighted with live stock had
recently 'arrived at .Liverpool without
the slightest loss being sustained by the
shippers. This was something extracie-
dinary, in the menth ef 1114mb—three
hundred bead of cattle exported without.
theloss of a:bullock, was an nnusuat cir-
cumstanee. Ho looked forward tp a
'speedy revive of the trade.' Ontario
was, the best part of, America forlarm-
ing purposes, and the greater the expor-
tation of cattle-lrom_the—Pro_vince,„the,
greater wonld be the mutua1. benefit cle-
rived by farmers And dealers. He con -
eluded by thanking the newspapers for
the mipport tendered by them to the
Cattle. Dealers' Association. .
Mr. Reeves was of the opinion that
the disease originated ort board the Veit-
sels-while the Cattle were in transit from
one countrY to anotli'
er °Wing. to the
careless Manner in which they were
treated.. • .
_ Mr. Mooney agreed with the opinion
expressed by Mr. Reeves The firm be
(Mr. Mooney) represented had made five
ehipinents of cattle to the old Country
and had only lost six bead. The reason
for this comparatively slight loss was
owing to the fact that they had gone
•with the stock themselves, for being pol,
cuniarily interested''in ..the • enterprise
• they gave the cattle every care, and thus
prevented extensive ,diseasw He ob-
served that the. cattle placed on the up-
pei, decks. were -comparatively free from
illness, while those tonfined between
decks . were. more subject to it, • This
prove that, propee ventilation was of
