There was a fair supply of grain on show to-day,
the prices varied little, the tendency, however, at
an early hour, being for a rise, and at neon
there were some first-claaa samples sold at

into this market to-day, and salmi were remarkably
brisk, COIV4 with calves met with • ready demand at
prices ranging from £l5 to £25. Beef WAS in good
supply, but the quotations were a abide lower, ranging
from 9s 6d to lie the score, Barreners and stock cattle
sold very readily at from £8 to £l6 the head, according
to qu •lity. Altogether a very brink business was done.
BIRMINGHAM, Feb. 27.—There was • pretty toler-
able show of busts on offer at to-day's market, the
quality and condition of which were on the whole fair.
The demand was of a steady character, and recent
rates may be quoted, samples making 51 to Slid per
lb. Of sheep the supply was about an average for the
season, and pales took place at 70 to fully Bid per lb.
The show of pip was moderate, and, with • middling
demand, prices ranged from 9s 6d to 101 2d per
soore lb.

Burro', Feb. 27th,—The near approach of the fair
rendered to-day's market a quiet one, and the supply
was limited Beef, which was of good quality, ruled
dull, and prices went slightly 4ownward, best qualities
obtaining 56. to 635, and inferior 51s. The sheep
penned were few, but, being of good quality, obtained
Ted to Bd, and even 91. Pigs were largely shown, and
in good demand, as porkers, at 10s 6d to lie, and bacon
hogs 10a the more.
YORK, Feb. 27th.—At this fortnightly cattle-market
to-day the show of fat beasts was fully an average, and
• good consumptive demand was experienced, at no
important change in prioes. For store beasts late rates
were generally supported, the demand being firm. The
show of sheep was rather large, and the inquiry ruled
healthy at remunerative rates. The trade in
calving cows was dull, and prices were not so high by
22. to 301 as on the previous market day. Irish
rattle made late rates. The pig-market yesterday was
abundantly supplied, and prices were unaltered. Quota-
