Sequel to New Orleans luclilelit
I Washington April 12 The depart
mont of agriculture lias received a
dispatch from a prominent packing
company of Chicago announcing that
lit has Just been advised that the En
glish government has excluded all
Ibeef except home bred from the Hrlt
iali army contracts This It la
stated Is to be effective June 1 next
The Chicago concern has asked the
agricultural department for any as
sistance It can render It has pointed
out that the action of the government
Is n severe blow to American beef
and cattle exporters and producers
and means not alone the loss in govern
iinent trade but It Is feared It will
serve toward causing a prejudice of the
ipcople of Great llrltnln against the
beef and cattle of this country
No report of this contemplated
move hns reached the department ac
cording to statements of olllclals
Steps have been taken however look
ing to acquiring whatever Informa
tlon it Is possible to get
To demonstrate the Importance of
tho move said to bo contemplated It
Is pointed out that the value of our
exports of live animals to Great Brit
ain amounts to 40000000 while the
total of animal products exported
from the United States to Great Brit
ain Is stated to be In round numbers
200000000 It is pointed out here
thnt this proposed embargo mny really
bo a sequel In greater or less de
cree to the proceeding Instituted at
New Orleans against shipments of
horses and mules from that port for
use in the South African campaign
jWhlle this Is of course merely con
jectural It Is very strongly hinted
thnt the New Orleans Incident prob
ably Is the directing source of Insplra
tion for the step It Is pointed out
thnt If the English really decided to
take the action reported In the ad
vices Just received the British might
turn to Australia for their moats It
is claimed however that meats can
not be cotton there In as good quality
noras cheaply as In the United States
