The Export Trade in Dressed Beef, Pork, Mutton, Ete,~Wby Live Animnls Should No Longer Be Transported Long Dis- tances, © To the Editor of The Tribune. CriicaGo, May 4.—The wonderful success which has attended the shipments of fresh beef and other ‘dressed meats to Europe during the past twelve months opensup a new and unexpected market for American meats that astonienes the readers of the daily press beyond measure. The following I3 acopyol the cablegram order received after tha first cxperimental and successful shipment, and from this we may date the commencement of this immense and increasing demand for American meats. The first shipment was made on the White Star Line Steamship Baltic from New York to Liverpool, and was composed of fresh beef, pork, oysters, and prairic chickens. That arriving in good condition the following order ensucd: Maggt 11, 1875,—Shlp 50 head of cattle, 103 head of 0R%, 50 barrels of oyaters, 60 turkoys.
