There is no feature in the cattle trade. A. limited bust-
moderate number of Scotch beasts were offered,
busi-
ness is doing in all qualities at about late rates. As regards
beasts the supplies were only moderate, but were sufficient.
asnmAade ss. ad. to sa. Bd. per 81b. From the Midland and
counties we received about l 500; from Norfolk,
Suffolk, and Essex, about 500; from Scotland, 60; and
from Ireland, SOO head. The foreign side of the market
was sparingly supplied with beasts, which sold slowly
at previous prices. As regards sheep, the supply was
tolerably good. The trade was quiet, without any
feature, and prices were about the same as last week. The
best Downs and half-breds sold at Gs. 6d. to 6s. Bd. per 81b.
Lambs were quiet, at Os. to Is. Bd. per 81b. Calves and

Kent ditto, £6 to £7 75.; Wield of Kents, £.4 15s. to £7 •
