BRISTOL, Teureday.— We had a good supply of be.
at our market, including an unusually large numMr
Irish animals. The deniand, however, was fully equal to
It, and nearly all on offer exchanged hands at an c.,•
hour. Priors still remain lins, best deeenpliony n slim-
ing from 70s. to 72a4., and in one or two instances the
extreme figure of 735. was obtainseL We also hid •
very large show of sheep, for which, however, tle.ry wog
a dull sale, attest week's prices. A downward tendency
was noticeable, but we most still quote best deserlpti. 00
of small light wethers it from 844, to 9.1., h•aly
deecriptions and ewes iealising from Bd, to 81d. per lb.
A number of those on offer were left on band. There
was • good supply of lamb, but with very little derria,3
for it, sad in the majority of cases only mutton priors
were realised, the seaaon being now over. We hays
received large quantities of store Patti. from Irelend,
and heavy sionsignments have been ordered for ellffereet
parts of the kingdom. The supply of atom st,,p wi
rather short, and although there was a slight imprev.•
ment in the demand, the business done yam of a Ijoil, d
character. The supply of pigs (et the Black Horns
yard, West-etreet) was •hort, and although the b.coa
maiket does not show much improvement, the weskit'
number no offer effected • temporary increase in price-.
from 10s. 9.1. to us. 3d. being obtained for anyo,-,:
very good. We had • moderate show of horses, hat lid
demand was limitisd, and very few exchanges v., 6
made.
