teiTnhleen% cattle trade though quiet was steadier in tone, and the
against the buyer. The supply. of
beasts from our own grazing districts was moderate, and
those from Scotland and Ireland short. A firm inquiry 'pre- .
vailed, and rather more money was realised. The best Scots
and crosses made ss. 6d. to Is. Bd. Ter 81b. From the Mid-
laud and Home counties we receive about 1,500 from Norfolk i •
and Suffolk about 500, from Scotland 37, and from Ireland ..,
100 head. The foreign side of the market was moderately
supplied. The trade was firm at full prices. About 400 Ameri-
can beasts were offered. In the sheep pens there was a...
moderate (bow. A healthier trade prevailed, at 2d. advance
over 114 week. The best Downs and half•breds realised
Os. 64. to Gs. 81 per 81b. Lambs were firm on former terms, ,
Calves and pigs were quite as dear. At Deptford were ,
about 1,800 beasts and 1,600 sheep. 'lnferior beasts, 4s. to • •
