AIRTROPOLITLX, JUL s.—Mew fresh Scotch bead sass come
to band, •nd a tolerable sprinkling of other breeds in fair
condition. The most noticeable feature, however, is the entire
absence id all foreign animals, °wind to the severill of the
weather and the prevalent easterly winds. The beef trade
ruled quite ss firm as .m Monday; although a slower trade,
the market will he cleared Little business is doing in the
sheep-market, the few transactions at Monday's figures. Choke
calves wanted, and in the *lmmure of our usual supply the few
on offer quickly sold, at extreme &rtes. No pork
