London butchers, who wero ready purchasers at improved
rates. Fresh and lean stock met with a readier sale, and the
best descriptions realised higher prices. Akw good ankh

Devon', 91. to 121. per head; Scotch and Welch, 61. to
71. 10s. Young Beast, from three years' old down to year-

141. to 161. each. Good bred Heifers, in calf, 9/. to 121.

LONDON PROVISION MARKETS.
NEWOATE AND LEADENHALL, MAP 24.
Owing to the change in the weather, very limited supplies
of both town and country-killed meat have been on sale
here to-day; hence the demand is somewhat active, and
prices are well supported in every instance.
