THE ENGLISH MEAT MARKET.
IMPORTANT PRO HIBITION. London, March 28. The Government have prohibited the import of live sheep and lambs from Germany and Holland on account of the prevalence of foot and mouth disease in those countries. The annual import thence has hitherto been 800,000 head, amounting to eight-ninths of the total live import into the United Kingdom. In consequence of the action of the Government shippers are trying to introduce dead meat, but it is believed the attempt will fail in consequence of the continued rise in prices in the countries from which stock has been exported to England.
Received March 30, 1.40 a.m. The Privy Council, accepting the assurance that Holland is free from disease, have decided to admit sheep from that country.
