THE AMERICAN CATTLE TRADE. 
Mr. J. Barclay asked whether, if the Veterinary Department 
of the Privy Council found that cattle in the "Western States of 
America were free of disease, the importation of store cattle from 
these States through Canada would he permitted. 
Lord G. Hamilton said that so long as contagious pleuro¬ 
pneumonia existed in the United States it would not be consistent 
with the 5th schedule of the Act of last session to exempt cattle 
coming from America from the provisions of that Act relating to 
the slaughter of animals at the port of debarkation. (Ministerial
