Mr. George T. Turner says in a letter to the
“National Live Stock Journal”: “The Here-
ford bullock in London is quite a season animal,
and comes only as grass-fed beef in the late
summer and autumn, then it tops the market,
for there is no better grass beef sent to London
than the Hereford, except the West Highland-
ers, which are older and few in number. These
generally make prices which are above the ordi-
nary top quotations. The Polled Scotch cattle
are stall-fed, and do not come under the same
category as the Herefords.”


THE LONDON


On Monday, Jan. 16, 1882, the best supplies
comprised a fairly conditioned assortment; a
few choice Scots brought 6s. per stone, but the
more current topping rates for first quality
Scots, Devons and Herefords were 5s. 8d. to
5s. 10d.; Shorthorn, 5s. 4d. to 5s. 6d., occa-
sionally 5s. 8d. Some Danish cattle were on
offer, and ranged from 4s. 8d. to 5s. 4d., and in
a few instances 5s. 6d. At Deptford there were
about 1,100 head, comprising Dutch, French
and American; the top rates for the two latter
were about 5s. 4d. to 5s. 6d.
This, in the language of American reports,
would be quoted about as follows:

Americans


Tt is said that the quality of the best Amer-
ican beef is such that when dressed it is often
sold as British raised, and that it is impossible


to do this with the product of any other coun-
try.
