Twenty Years Changes in our Foreign Meat Supplies. 491 
pean importing neighbours, and the larger excess of imports 
must have been supplied from across the Atlantic. 
Before, however, leaving this subject of the international trade 
in meat, I must again recall the fact that with the movement of 
the live cattle from one country to another, the question is by 
no means closed. We must include also the dead-meat trade. 
To do this in detail and with reference to quantities varying 
in their designation, would only weary the reader. I will 
ask permission to illustrate the whole movement as far as it can 
be done, of course verv roughly and imperfectly since many are 
the pitfalls of international statistics, by adapting, with one 
addition, from Dr. Von Neumann Spallart's work, a table which 
attempts to give for each country, European and extra-European, 
the total values : —
