Baterot.,Thurs.lay.—We had. rather full supply of
beef at our market to-day, bioleding about 60 animals
from Ireland. The quality of the animals on offer was
also Improved, and an active trade in the early part of
the day soon ells oiled of • lap number. Prime showed
scarcely any alteration. best &ecriptions still realising
from 68.. to 725. pee cwt., and middling aorta from 62m
to 136 e. The consignments of Irish More oatde IWO very
limited just now, arid very few animals are wanted.
Had it not been for the supply of foreign sheep. the
quantity of mutton at our market would have bees
exeeedingly limited. Wd received upwards of 600 or
600 foreign sheep, which sold at • very low tore, in
some oases 64. per lb being taken for them: Indeed,
holders were 'bid to effect sake, end this induced many
to bay, notwithstanding that they had already supplied
thiamine. This late of things hod an Wawa* on
the sale of English samples, which would otherwise bare
shown • decided Improvement in price. Beet English
withers, however, sti I maintained the late rates, and
from Bfd. to 94. was given for choice umplim, while
Gwen and middling descriptions realised Iron. T I. to Std.
per lb. The Irish sheep were of • fair quality, and they
realised 80., and in some caeca a atilt blebs, figure.
We had a good supply of pigs, numbering about 15 0,
at the Wast.etreet yard, and there was a slight improve-
ment in the trade, bacon pigs realising from S., 94. to
and porkers from 9. to 9, 40., while in some oases
91. 64. per see,, was given for very choice porkers. The
supply of horses was small, but the inquiry was more
free than we bare men it for some weeks past, and •
steady trade was dose at recent rates.
