A Word to Cattle Exporters. HOW THE TRADE CAN BE MADE A SUCUESS., —-HOW OUR PEOPLE CAN COIN MONEY,

(Irom the Vy lh ille Star. )

Many dollars have rolled into the pock- ets of the inhabitants of Neva Scotia, aris- jing frent the fishing and lumbering indus- | tries, amd from the tillage of the soil. Now janother branch of ewployment is beginning Ito occupy the serious attention of our wide- jawake and farseeiug men. Its the breed- | ing and exporting of cattle for foreign (markets. Our ‘shipping beef cattle are unsurpassed, and | ) our farmers are already discovering the j truth of this assertion. Several things are | jre@nired to muke this business a success. |Continual observance inust be exercised to) ; discover how we can fatten in the shertest! jtime, and witli the least expense, those {varieties of cattle that realize the best |prices in the Enylish market. Again, our {cattle traders and exporters must co- | operate, so as to seenre large shipments, ! | with the stiallest pesstble expense, and |

withent unnecessary delay. Last, but not ileas*, a judicious expenditure of capital | must be made in order te place the enter- | prise on a good footing. We need a} steamer of onr own to carry cattle across the Atlantic. Shipment by sailing vessels | would be to» slow, and the expense of | sending by the regular lines of Ocean steamers is heavy. A geod steamer, built | expressly to carry ecattie, would be of im |

mense advantage, and would: not involve a} , . 3 >

whatever in this direction is required. We have heard, oi goed authority, that one of our enterprising men is willing to build and fit up a steam- er expressly for the purpose of carrying out eatile to foreign markets. The only condition impesed--and «a very resonable one--is, that cattle shippers will patronize his steamer in preference to ethers. He only wentsa guarantee that he will have the patronage ef eur steck-raisers, so a8 to warrant the outlay of capital in buiiding a steamer. Matters being in such a favor able condition, farmers and all interested in the shipping of cattle should take imme- diate steps in this direction, and thus se- eure « permanent advantage tor themselves. In this connection we publish for the bene- fit of our readers, a portien ef a letter by ene of our Nova Scotia merchants, whe is interested in the matter now before us. ‘The statement and figures will be pernsed with interest by many :--- Lonvon, July 7th.—I have reached the

‘* Big City.” Have been here a menth. Hiave spent the time, when not asleep, in seeing, hearing, talking. Have secn two eargoes of American (U. S.) cattle and sheep landed and sold, and one Canadian. The Yankee catile were rather the best— that is, more handsomely made-——perhaps no fatter, but leoks better, and looks is worth something here. Before a thing— dead or alive—will seil well here it must look well, and in the second place it must be good. With these qualifications—i: you know the right place te go to—you can sell, sure. I went to ene ef the cattte market

last Monaay, where there were about 1490 head of oxen, 450 calves, about as many hegs, and between six and seven thousand sheep. They were all sold that * day, and the mest of them slaughtered. £33 stg., a head, or $263 to $322 per pair, they tell me that the price is mederate this inonth on acceunt of large receipts always coming forward this time in the year. There are twe cargees due here to-morrow from the St.Lawrence. I have seen the bills of lading. One steamer has 302 head of cattle and a lot of sheep, and the other has a few heads less. Between ourselves that Montreal Company are making money fast. They want steam accommedation this season for 5,009 head of cattle if they can get it, and as many mere sheep. A New York man has had to come here and en- gage an old steamer to go over for a cargo of cattle. What you in Nova Scotia want is a steamer of your own, strong and weil titted up fer the trade. Apart frem the convenience to eurselves, a steamer would pay well, L believe, as an investment. | forget te say that goed sheep weighing frem 125 te 130 lbs. alive, seld this week fer 50 cents(/) Iam going this week te the landing of several cargoes of foreign catile, and shall speyd two days with the party to whom .they are consigned, and see them handled and sold. Iam geing to become thoroughly acquainted with this trade, whether | ever do anything in iter not. If you ean get a steamer, or can get accom- modation on the deck of any other steamer, for hen coops, ete., 1 will tell you how you can make meney— and make it witheut much risk. If you ceuld only get the chance to ship direct and by steam, there are a number of things that meney can be made in.

Rear-ApMiraL SrirunG, the command- er-in-chief ef the Pacific Station, has sub- ‘mitted a suggestion to the Admirality to ‘enlist British-Canadian boys for service in his fleet. He advances and bases it upon ‘the grounds that the Pacitic being so far distant from England, and the waste by invaliug and expiration of period of service on the part of the several ship's crews is now with difficulty replaced, and that when beys becowe rated as men there are no others to fill up their vacancies, therefore Canadian youths might be obtained, and aithongh the training the Candiaus would get would be different from ihat of those

entered on board our training and harbor

ships, yet they could be well taken in hand The beys, he pro- poses, shali have a fair amount of schovlng, and their practical seaman training would be beiter than anything to be obtained on board the harbor ships here with au eccas- ional cruise in a sailimg brig. Admiral Stirling further adds that it would also have the advantage of drawing the Domin- ion and the Old Country tegether, and as it has now been allowed to enter Colonial Cadets, we could thus enter colonial boys te man our ships, aud says no better ma-

jierial for smart sailors conld possibly he

found than those born in Canada. i anc tho Lancashire Manufacturers.

dustries. Sir John, in replying to the gentlemen, said the tariff had been adjust- ed en the principle of encouraging home industry by placing heavier duties on American goods, but that Englishmen were prejudiced, and ignored the Canadians’ peculiar situation as regards the United States. American rings and corners had completely crushed all attempts te in- troduce manufactures in Canada, and would have centinued to do so unless Canada, by her new tariff, had not endeavored io prevent it. The new tariff had already forced the Americans to clamour fer a Reciprecal Treaty, which previously had been contemptuously refused. If England wanted reciprocal priviieges, she must give something in return, with countervailing duties in English markets. Canada could always afford to pay 10 per cent. difference against English and other foreign goods. In conclusion, Sir John said that he did not think that there were any immediate chances for a reduction of the tariff, but he would willingly receive any suggestion, and remedy any evident injustice. Sir Jehn incidentatly promised to equalize the postal rates from England and the United States to Canada in sample parcels. Sir John A. Macdonald’s speech is considered to be a most slashing defence of the Protective policy.

An Ocean Telephcne.

PROSECT FOR TELEPMONIC COMMU NI¢ATION BEs TWEEN EUROPE AND AMBRICA,

A company of capitalists, the steck chief- ly ewned in Cincinatti, Ohie, is negotiating with the cable companies for the lease ef a line fer eight doys for the purpose of test- ing experiments for the transmission of tele- phonic communication with Eurepe. It is. believed that the new i*rench line will be secured. The arrangements wiil be com- pleted in afew days. The precess upon which the propesed work is to be done is based upon the GOrangbaugh invention of 1868 and the recent Klemm patent. Ample capital has already been raised fur comple- ting the plan. Several eastern infiuential besiness men are associated in the enterprise The tests will be made from New York city. Only the combination of the two systems mentioned will be tested, to the exclusion of the Bell, the Edison and any of the in- struments now in active use, as the new company claim fhat they are actualiy in- fringing upen a prioxvity of invention, and the question will prebably be tested in the codrts. Six of the most eminent lawyers of the United States have already been retain- ed by the Cincinnatians. The capita! raised for the experiment is about $5,000.

Under a brisk demand and rising values the ,tea trade has become quite agitated within the past few days and considerable Imes have changed hands at an advance of from 2 cents to 3 cents per lb upon last week’s figures. The principle enquiry has been for Japans, which are now quoted at 30 «te 33 cents fer good common, 33 cents to 36 cents for medinm, and 37 cents te 40 cents for "good medium.
