WORLD’S CATTLE PRODUCTION.
lia t e stock figures
Cattle have increased in Australasia during the past two years by 1,000,000 head; in Russia by 1,500.000 head; and decreased in Canada and the United States by 1,000,000 head. The stock of cattle from the two last-named countries is at present about 79,000,000 head. The population is now about 100.000,000, and the annual consumption of beef involves the slaughter of about 18,500,000 head, so that the quantity available for export is comparatively small.
The Republics of Argentine and Uruguay claim to have live stock aggregating 38,000,000 head of cattle and 94,000,000 sheep. Both States continue to export a large amount of meat. The combined population of these southern States is well under 10,000,000. The annual increase of cattle averages about 20 per cent. It is from these southern Republics that the meat combines of the United States draw the bulk of the supplies which they shin to the United, Kingdom.
