and Brisbane, were all, at the lowest com-

putation, sixty days distant trem the same markets. Secondly, English butchers pre- fer live to dead stock, as they are particu- lar as to the mode of dressing ; and more- over, in the case of the former, the slaugh- terer reaps the benefit of the offals, which are otherwise lost to them.

THE PRICE.

Sa ; Firat-class cattle will bring 60, to bc, per’

Ib., live weight, other grades selling at from : great » deinand for hom ‘Ket will be merely required fer peddling pur- poses and lecal consumption. Buyers are now enabled to pay better prices, as the regulations enfor¢ed by the Government have considerably diminished the risks of merta) ity ameng the cattle ineurred by shippers, owidg to the overcrowding of animals; insurance rates have consequentiy taken a downward tendency, and the

home markets, they

exporter’s trade is not now subjected to so} that |

many losses. It would also appear many farmers are under the impression that it requires a far better quality ef food to fatten thoroughbred cattle than is neces- sary for the native ones. They may, how- ever, rast assured that well-bred cattle will fatten in less time than their half or peorly- bred brethren, and will put en two pounds ef fles!: on the same quality of feed and in the saive time as it will take an inferior bred bulleck te gain ene pound of meat. Another censideration is, that stock fed in winter in eur climate requires little care and with but ordinary attention and three feeds a day will soon develop into market- able animals, nothing coming amiss, as an article ef food, coarse grains, even though damaged by rain, can be thus utilized. WEIGHT OF CATYLB.

Well-bred and well-fed cattle should turn the scale at 1,400 to 1,600 lbs., live weight, to suit the British purchaser, and for fear that the farmer sheuid be afraid that the raising and fattening of such heavy cattle is going to prove costly to him, Mr. Britton informs him that whereas our cemmen native cattle will attain but to 800 er 1,000 Ibs., whilst consuming the quantity ef food and requiring a like amount of care, as well-bred cattle there will attain the weight required by the exporter. Mr Britton, assuming as a basis that there are 340,000 agriculturalists in the prevince alone, maintains that it would bean easy matter for one half of them to raise six beasts, three during the pasture, and three during the winter or stall-feeding seasen, or at the very least, three head per annum. This sexson, he continued, there will be un- exceptional demand for well-bred stock, and contractors will heve no little difficulty in meeting it.

FEEDING CATTLE.

Cattle generally consuming the coarsest feeds tliat a farm produces, there is little or no occasion for artificial feeding. In correboration of a remark previously made. and as an example that the Government regulations are far from being a dead letter, Mr. Britton pointed out that curing the past week two steamers were delayed and relieved of several head of cattle fer non-

compliance with these salutary measures, and this interference was well received by these shippers in whose mterests it took place.

RESULTS OF THS BUSINESS.

Another standing preof of ihe propor- tions that the cattle export trade has as- sumed, is that, whereas during the ship- ping sesson of 1875-6, one firm in Toronto represented that interest, twenty-four are now envaged in the trade. A point. of vital i:aportance to the farmer who raises stock, is that the business is purely a cash one. He puts down his beef and the ex- porter puts down ‘his money at the time of pure iase, and when it is considered that the export cattle trade was the ineans of circulating abeut $120,000 in 1875 and $2,- 000,000 in 1879, and that it is assumed that for the present year anether million dollars will be added to this already sig- nificant sum, figures once more come to the fure in proof positive of the vastly increas- ing dimensiens acquired by the trade re- ferred to herein. Moreover, farmers are to be congratolated upon the absence of disease from their stock. So far the dis- ease has been contined to the Western

States of America, ths seaboard States having been singularly free frum it. Never-

theless the Government is acting wisely in maintaining its regulations, as a safeguard to Canadian cattle, for anything diseased coming through Canadian ports ef ship- ment would not fail to be injurieus to the steck bred in the Dominion. :

THE SHEEP TRADE,

Mr. Britton added afew remarks about the sleep trade, which las been stirring of late, the contracts entered into by Cana- dian shippers for this season being very extensive, and fully double the number will be exported as compared with last year. Canadian sheep meets with growing favour in England, owing to the quantity of lean meat they give. Cotswold and Leicesier breeds are the favourites, as they produce the heaviest weights and mature rapidly, Last year this Province shipped 75,000 sheep, a number that will at least be increased two-fold this year. Prices range at from 4 to 4$c. per lb., live weight, and some large contracts have been made at the outside figure of dc. per ib.

AN INCREASING TRADE.

To sum up briefly a two hour’s talk, dar- ing which time the foregoing facts were gleaned, it is certain that shippers cannet get one hali the well bred exttle they re- quire to fill their contracts; the trade will still ‘more be developed in the next five years, fostered and encouraged as it is by the Governments. The facilities for the transportation and shipment are yearly in- creasing, and the English press is aciing as a powerful auxilary, for it adinits cheer- fully tiat Canadian | eef is equal to their own. One word of advice, will however, not be taken amiss ; it ia given in the inter- est of the farmer. It is that he must guard in being in too great a haste to dispese of his stock; it must be properly fattened and

to de. per lb., and not being in so |

a

raatured ere it is brought to market. And for intending immigrants who are practeally acquainted with stock-raising and fattening, ‘will do themselves good by coming to ‘country where steck can be raised for fully one half less than in the United Kingdom.

Revenue Returns for May.

Tue revenue returns for May in nine cities in Canada were $499,605.09 in excess of these of last year—not $92,980, as stated yesterday.

The Sun, commenting upon the increase

of over 40 per cent. in the returns of St. iJohn, says :—‘‘As Duties, we have been teld by Opp sition hewspapers

regards

that the new tariff had wiped ont the Free List and that imports were unmercifully taxed. Sometimes the assurance was that duties had been doubled ; again that they had been raised ‘“‘fifty per cent.,’ then “forty per cent.,” and so on, the mest extravagant statements being, of course, the most widely circulated and most frequently Well, in May, 1879, the im- ports via the Custom House at St. John amounted to $305,333, and the duty paid

repeated.

an average of a say 16.19 per

amounted te 53,144, or little over sicteen per cent.— cent.

It will, no doubt be urged that whereas the new tariff went into operatien only in the previeus month of March, its full effect on importations may not have been felt in the month of May. So we will take the figures fer May, 1880, and see what they establish. The imports being $580,094, and the duties paid $807 ,57,it followsthut the average of duty was not quite fifteen anda quarter per cent.—

say 10.22 per ceit.

The Chicago Convention.

RePresEntatives of the Republican party of the United States have been in Convention at Chicago a week; and at latest advices balloting for the Presidential candidate had not begun. The reports of what cecurred on VWriday evening gives us the idea of Pandemonium rather than of a body of able men assembled to select a can- didate for the highest position in the nation. The levity exhibited, the disyrace ful scenes enacted, and the long continued delay in coming to a vote, cannot fail te disgust the theughtful people of the United States, and make them wish for the simple forms and more direct methods by which the popular will is made known urder the British Constitution.

The Cattle Trade.

In ane ther .column will be found a sug- gestive article on the export caitle trade, We hope it -will be attentively perused. The cattle trade has been epened up on the island ; and we hope it will prove a source of wealth to the Province. Its success, however, depends principally upon the ability of our farmers-to furnish the right kind of stock. If every farmer would make it a point to raise even one good fat ox every year for the British markets, some $709,000 or $300,000 would annually be brought into the Provinces.

Loss of the ‘‘ Gondolisr.”’

PART OF CREW DROWNED.

We regret to learn the loss of the ship (londolier, of this pert, on Sable Island. Captain Aitkinson reports her a total wreck, and states that ._part of the crew were drewned in attempting to land. He and the remainder were taken eff by an Amari- can tisherman,and carriedjto Halifax, losing all their clothes, effects, etc.

The Gondolier which was on a voyage from Retterdam to New Yerk, was an Al ship of 1,100 tons, built at Summerside in 1877, by Angus McMillan, Esq., and ewned by R. F. Quirk, Esq., of this city, and was partially insured.

Louise Luiguron Opera Company.—Com- plaints are frequently made that the news- papers overdo their reports of entertainments in the Market Hall, But it would be diffieult to write ia terms too high respecting the ren- dition of Pinafore by this company. The per- formance last night was an excellent one. The four leading parts were taken by Mr. Cogswell, (the Admiral) Mr. Pyke, (the Cap- tain) Miss Leighton, (Josephine,) and Mr. ickert, (Ralph Backstraw,) and these were s9 well supported by Mrs, Pyke, (Little Butter- cup,) Miss Morris, (tlebe,) Mr. Fletcher, (Dick Deadeye,) and Mr. Woodworth, (the Boatswain) that the harmony of the cheruses were delightinl. Mr. Kekert has a cultured voice of extraordinary compass. He took clearly the ‘‘U.” above the staff, and brought out full and deep, the low bass notes. Mr, Pyke’s voice is rich and powerful, and Miss Leighton is an exceedingly fine soprano singer. Mrs. Pyke acted and sang her part wel!. and the singing of Miss Morris was very good, Mr. Fietche: was suffering from a severe | sro throat, which eperatsd son ewhat! against his rendition of the important pact of ‘** Dick Deadeye;” but his acting Shewel a keen appreciation of its extravagancies. Mr. Weodworth took the part ef tie boatswain with great gusto, and his singing wag well up tothe mark. The intreductien of a song by little Master Pyke (the middy) was a pleas- ing feature of the performance. The efforts oi the troupe were repeatedly applauded ; and from the keen satisiaction afforded the audi- ence last night, we have ne doubé that, on their last appearance to-night, they will be
