Meat prices rise in Liverpool amid beef import drop
The Liverpool meat rise is blamed on Canadian and Argentine cattle prohibitions rather than the American beef combination. In the first quarter this year the city imported over 8 000 fewer cattle than 1901, and the South American dead meat trade failed to offset the shortage. Butchers and foreign cattle traders urge government approval for South American and Canadian live cattle entry, noting disease among stock has disappeared.
