LIVE STOCK ON RAILROADS. - Gerard Ralston, writing to the Railroad
Journal from London, says, he thinks the American companies do not lay themselves out
for carrying cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, poultry, etc., as much as they ought. In Great
Britain the transportation of animals is a source of very large and increasing profit. The
loss by driving live stock to market is greater than the expense of conveying them in
quick and comfortable railway trains.
