Balmy Thureclay.—After the limited supplies of
the rest few weeks we had to-day the fullest marbet of
beef and mutton that we have seen here for many
months. The Irish animals numbered upwards of 200,
sod in addition to these we had large oonsignmente
Duces Herefords, and animas from the surrounding
district.. This large supply wee probably owing to the
feet that keen is getting short, sod animas are now
beiog sent out from the stalk Th. trade was dell, and
the animals remained on hoed so keg that it is ex-
tremely difficult to give quotations. Encumbered with
• supply which far exceeded the demand, holden had to
submit to • considerable riductlon. Some of the
primeat beef eras bought at 68s, per cwt., and an average
figure for best descriptions was from 63.. to 67. per
cwt, but in • few instanses 705. was obtained by hand for
extra prime qualitiea The supply of store utile was
rather lug., but trade wee dull, and good barreners
could be obtained at from ElO to El 2. The sheep peas
were crowded with • supply which was greatly in excises
of the demand, and trade was dell, at a slight reduction
on recent rates; but withers in the wool realised 84d.
and in some eases 94. per In was given, and out of AS
wool they realised 7d. to 71d., while *wee and seemsdary
descriptions in the wool sold at Bd. per lb.; hula large
number both of sheep and cattle were left es head. Tbs
supply of lamb continues eery &art, gad prices ex.
tremely high. We had some large missignmesie of pigs
from Ireland, but, probably owing to the high prise of
feed just now, trade wee remarkably deli, and prime
showed • °renderable red notice. Porkers were sold at
Be. per score, and bacon pigs trout 8.. 2d. to fla '
while • large quantity of the former remained ea band.
There wan • good show of horses, but the aileadases at
buyers was limited, and only a moderate tea& was
done.

FIOIII, Wednesday.—A large supply of tattle from
gomerost, Wilts, and Dorset. The trid. was unsteady,
owners appearing hardly to know what priors to ask, or
purchasers to offer. There was a fair supply of pip,
which sold slowly, at very low prices.
Buutigogam. Thureday.—We received oboist the
same number of besets.. on Thursday last, the trade
flat, at Tuesday's prices. Sheep were • moderate
supply, trade heavy, lower prices submitted to. Calves
a feir supply ; a fair chamois roods. Pip a good
supply; trade Sat. Beef, 61. to ltd. per lb.; mutton,

WOOL Mail:KIS.
Sines the aloes of the pablle sew scarcely any hulloes'
has been transacted In any kind of wool. Prices are,
therefore, almost nonsinal.

flaslerolio, Thursday. —The wool trade in very fiat
to-day. The quantity of wool changing hands is very
small. Low offers are made, but etaplers generally are
unable to accept them. A few el-piano,' who bare
received orders try to weer them; bet rldooe"
generally do not operate. Prices are rattier irregular.
aad depend in a pest measure on the position of the
spinner, and whether his stook has hum recently bought
of the grower or not. Stooks are Mal small.
