BEATING THE TAX
(Press. Assn.—
CATTLE MOVED INTO ULSTER
-By Telegraph — Copyright) .
LONDON, Friday. The rush to beat the Irish duties reached a climax at Holyhead last evening, and the railways are taxed to the uttermost. Dealers state they will not buy cattle in Ireland while
the duties are in force, as the prices are fatal to business in competition with other sources of British supplies. Six thousand animals were landed in Liverpool alone, in addition to six race horses and 12 greyhounds. Owing to a local fog, several vessels from Waterford and Cork failed to reach Liverpool before the customs house closed, so the cargoes are liable to the 20 per cent. duties. The British customs authorities are making special arrangements to prevent smuggling from Irish ports. Meanwhile, hundreds of cattle have been taken hurriedly from Donegal and placed in Ulster to-day, in order to avoid the tax. ,
