Exports op Beep and op Live Cattle prom Argentina, 1855 to 1910 It should not be expected that the beef produced in the Argen- tine Republic on grass alone will grade in the market as high as English, Scotch or corn-fed beef from the United States of North America. Notwithstanding this, beef is being produced, and in the manner spoken of, that sells in the English market within two cents per pound of the corn-fed beef from the United States. The bulk of the Argentine product sells at three to five cents per pound below North American dressed beef. Difficulties Surrounding the Industry Some discouragements confront the Argentine beef pro- ducer, altho they maybe of quite a different character from those elsewhere experienced. For example, since 1900, owing to an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease and the consequent supposed prevalence of this disease in the Argentine Republic, the ports of Great Britain have been closed against the importation of Argentine live cattle, except a few months in 1903. There is very little, if any. of this disease in Argentina at the present.
