American tteef in England.
In spite of the impediments- to the
landing of fresh me:it and live cattle
in Great Britain, the shipment of
these products from our own shores are
steadily increasing, ijromoted bjr
low prices and exceptionally cheap
transportation. Contracts have re
cently been made in Chicago for the
delivery of fresh beef at Liverpool at
a cost of thirty-four cents per 100
pounds which will permit the sale of
the meat there at 57 cents per
pound. While it is not to- be expec
ted that freight rates will, always be- as
low as this, the present facts are high
ly encouraging. The price of beef in
Chicago is now a normal one, and the
freight may be considerably higher
and yet permit a profitable export
trade.. If the difficulties in the way
of sending cattle abroad, which are
now felt, should lead to a greater ex
tension of the facilities of carrying
meat, and direct the attention of ship
pers more exclusively in this direction.
it might be betterfor the trade. At
all events, this business will con
tinue and enlarge. American beef
has practical!' no other com
petition in British markets than
with British beef. At the price
named, or anything like it, the de
mand will exceed very much its pre
sent dimensions; and it is confidently
asserted that the price of beef on
bunch grass in Oregou and Washing
ton can be considerably reduced by
more economical modes of production
and care. That this new traffic has
all the elements of success and
permanency is the belief of those who
know most about it, and who prove
their faith by putting their money
(and a good deal of it), into the
business.
Our Xalioial Quarantine
On the national quarantine bill,
3v.hiGh.JS-a .matierof great interest
to ship-owners and merchants, the
Journal of Commerce remarks:
".No more important and far-reaching
measure has received the as
sent of congress in years. It is
extraordinary not only in its im
mediate extension of the central
power over certain rights and du
ties hitherto exclusively assumed
by the states, but still more as an
entering werlsre for other encroach
ments. Every word of it is
fraught with meaning for the po
litical! and publicist as well- as for
the ship-owner and merchant. The
bill is so artful and insiduous in
phraseology that probably some
congressmen who voted for it did
not catch its entire purport. On
its face it looks "innocent enough.
It might be mistaken by the care
less readers as something merely
auxiliary to- the local systems of
quarantine now in force. But it
is far more. Under it anv existing
quarantine establishment may be
set aside. Even the one in New
York the model of its kind, will
hereafter live only on sufferance,
lor the national board of health
would have only to declare that in
their opinion the New York quar
antine is insufficient and it would
then.be the duty of the president
to order the board to frame
additional rules and regulations
or the emergency. The enforce
ment of these would devolve in
t'he first instance on the local
authorities. But if thev failed to
enforce them, of which the presi
dent would be the judge, the duty
would then be assigned to federal
officers. . It rests wholly with the
national board of health and the
president to replace every local
quarantine system and agent with
those of the federal choice."

R. I. Hurac'H Steamer Alexander
Duncan Expected.
We are in receipt of private dis
patches from San Francisco yesterday
informing us of 7u very important mat
ter, fraught with interest for this por
tion of Oregon, and the adjacent ter
ritory of Washington. The Asto
rxak has'for years past put in a word
now and then as it could, favorable
to steamer traffic between this port
Grays-harbor, Shoalwater-bay, Tilla
mook, Suislaw, Umpqua, Coos-bay,
Rogue-river, etc., etc. It has been
a sort of humiliating spectacle
to us to watch the fact that
at nearly every port of the
least consequence all along the
coast of California there were regular
lines of steamers, and Oregon had
none, knowing that so far as fertility
and the natural resources of the coun
try were concerned, Oregon is the best
country of the two. We endeavored
to get Messrs. Goodall, Perkins & Co.,
and others interested, but to no pur
pose. Now the want is to be sup
plied by Mr. R. D. Hume, and the
steamer Alexander Duncan, Gapt.
Carroll in command, will leave San
Francisco for Astoria, to arrive on or
about July 3d, for this particular bus
ness, and she will make Astoria her
headquarters. Of the Duncan we need
not make extended mention. She is
a well known, and a favorite steamer.
Lately she has been materially im
proved, and is specially adapted to
this trade. The Astoria public can
well afford to give her a cordial recep
tionr when she comes.
