CATTLE TRAFFIC. 



The last parliamentary returns are still more defective than 

 their predecessors, so that it is necessary to estimate some of the 

 numhers. 



The following shows the number of cattle carried in the year 

 ending 1st July, 1846 : — 

 Name. 



Ardrossan, 



Chester and Birkenhead, 



Dublin and Drogheda, 



Dundee and Arbroath ..

"Whitehaven, 



York and North Midland, 



Hull and Selby, 



Total .. 360,314 1,209,447 813,907 



As the returns are incomplete, this does not show the whole 

 number of cattle, which will be as follows : — 



Cattle, 

 Sheep, 

 Swine, 



370,000 



1,2.' 0,000 



850,000 



The number of calves carried in 1846 was as follows :- 

 Chester and Birkenhead, 6,288 

 Maryport and Carlisle, 1,372 



North Union, 106 



In other returns they are not distinguished. 

 The amount of revenu ■ ■ - - - - 



as follows : — 



Ardrossan,

 Dublin and Drogheda, 

 Dundee and Arbroath, 

 Eastern Counties : Cambridge 

 ,, Colchester,

 Stockton and Darlington, 

 Stockton and Hartlepool, 

 Ulster, 



York and North Midland, 

 Hull and Selby, 



Total 



£167,201 



On account of the very imperfect state of the returns, it is im- 

 possible to give the proportion paid in 1846 under each head of 

 cattle traffic. In 1845 the proportions were — 



Cattle, £30,000 

 Sheep, 26,000 



Swine, 30,000 



The proportion for cattle must now be larger, and that for swine 

 smaller. 



In 1847 the number of cattle carried by each company was as 

 follows : — 



Total, 2,470,000 



This shows an increase of 25 per cent, over the number of 

 animals carried in 1845.
