imported into Hull, nearly half of them being horned stock. 
The trade is chiefly with Hamburg, Bremen, Rotterdam, and 
Harlingcn ; but a certain number of cattle occasionally arrive 
from other ports. The now famous cargo of Russian cattle 
brought into Hull from Cronstadt in the ' Joseph Soames,' on 
July 25th, 1872, is an example. I was informed by a Hull 
merchant that this was an experiment to ascertain whether 
Russian cattle could be profitably imported ; and it may be 
satisfactory (to agriculturists) to learn that, even if rinderpest 
had not been imported with these cattle, the venture would not 
have been profitable to those who made it.
