Live Cattle Trade.
OUTBREAK OF PLEUKO-PNEU-MONIA. (Per Press Association.) London, Sept. 18. Only 200 bullocks have been sold at prices ranging from £11 10s to £17 10s. The best sheep fetched 3s od per stone at Smithfield, and poor rough ones 2s 3d, 2s 4d and 2s 6d. Some butchers consider this shows that it is impossible for Australia to compete in the English market, while others say the initiators of the American trade experienced heavier losses. The Mark Lane Express says the mortality of the Southern Cross' cattle show it is an unnatural venture and cannot pay. Anyhow, it says, it is an infamous cruelty owing to the protracted voyage and onght to be suppressed. September 19. The Board of Agriculture has discovered eight cases of pleuro-pneumonia among the Southern Cross* cattle. Sydney, September 19. The Nairnshire has sailed for London, via Wellington, with ninety live cattle.
