CATTLE, &e.
SMITHFIELD, Two o'Cloek.-The supply of Beasts
today is large and trade exceedingly heavy; the dead mar-
kets since Monday having been completely glutted with
country consignments, and the weather during that time so
unfavourable for slaughtering, the butchers are not disposed
to become purchasers to any extent today. The best Scots
are still scarce, and making 4s. to 4s. 4d. tolerably freely;
but 4s. is an extreme price for the best Short Horns, and
scarcely anything is doing in second-rate qualities, a large
proportion remain unsold. We have about 400 from
Holland and Germany, 34 from Spain, 60 from Scot-
land, about 300 Leicester and Lincolns, 120 mulch
Cows, and the remainder from various parts of
the country. The number of sheep is small, but more
than equal to the demand, which is exceedingly limited,
the trade in this department being affected by circumstances
above alluded to. There are scarcely any good downs on
offer ; the few we have, make fully as much as of late, a
few choice Long-wools also make 41. Bd., but all other
qualities are lower, and several remain unsold, we
have 1,460 from Holland and Germany. The supply
of Calves being small, trade is brisk ; the choicest
descriptions readily make ds. ; second rate, 4s. 2d.
to 4s. 6d. There are 14 from Holland. The morning being
colder, Pigs are more in request, but there is no advance in
price.

ROMFORD, Nov. 25.-Business in our cattle market
to-day was tolerably good, considering that the attendance
WWI not quite so good as usual. We had a full supply at
but little variation from last week's prices. Beef, 3s. 6d. to
4s. ; Mutton, 4s. 6d. to 54.; Veal, 4s. to 4s. Bd.; Pork, 4s. to
4s. Gd. per 8 lb. Quarter-old Pigs, 13.3. to 18e. ; Suckling
Calves, '2ss. to 30s. each.
LiscoLS, Nov. 25.-The supply of fat stock was
not good ; Beef ranged from 6s. 6d. to 6e. 9d. per stone ;
Mutton was again dearer, and fetched fully 7d. per lb.
Lou Tll.-Our Martinmas Fair was held on Monday
last. We had an universal supply of Beasts, both fat and
lean, which moved elf heavily, at somewhat lower prices,
and the supply being lower than the demand, a great many
were turned out unsold. Fat things realised from Gs. Gd. to
7s. per stone. The show of Sheep was limited, and went off
at tolerably brisk prices. The number of Horses were also
small, and those of the draught kind were in high demand.
The pleasure fair was well attended, notwithstanding the day
was rather inclined to rain ; but tho out-door attractions
were unworthy of attention, excepting the great bazaar of
Mr. Dixon. We did not observe so large a number of sus-
picious-looking characters as we have witnessed on former
occasions; and we believe the day passed over without any
serious depredations being committed.
NEwBURY, Nov. 26.-There was a fair supply of
fat stock to-day for sale, increasing as Christmas is approach-
ing ; the best made from 48 to 4s. 4d. per stone of 81b. ; in-
ferior, 3s. Bd. to 4s. Best Down Wethers, from be. to 6s. 4d.
Long Wools, 4s. Bd. to Ers. ; Ewes, 4s. 4d. to 4s. Bd. A few
lean Cows, Heifers, &c., were for sale, which sold readily. at
full prices before name. Pigs were in great plenty, the
lean selling slowly ; fine store Hogs 30e. to 45e. each ; Sows
for fatting, 21. to 3/. ; small Pigs, 7s. 6d. up to 215.; Sows,
with litters of Pigs, at prices between 40s. and 655.; fat bacon
Hogs for the bacon curers, 9s. Gd. to 10s. per score ; smal!er
and delicate pork do., from 10s. to 111.
SALFORD, Nov. 25.-The show of Beasts to-day
was good, compared with that of last market; of Sheep only
a moderate supply. The demand was not equal to the sup-
, ply, and buyers had • Blight advantage. A number of
° Beasts and Sheep unsold.
d EDINBURGH, Nov. 25.-There was a large supply
.e of Sheep, the number being more than last week. Good
r, aged Sheep nearly maintained last week's ruotatione, while
J., those of inferior quality suffered a small decline in value, and
a considerable number were unsold. Top of best Mutton,
.„ 6id. • excellent quality, bid. to 6d. middling and inferior
1" do., irom 6d. to 4d. On the whole, ;riles for all sorts of Sheep
of was very dull. The number of fat cattle was 356 head, or
46 less than last week. The quality was far superior to any
`° that have been shown this season, and sold readily. There
were also a few lots of inferior kinds, for which few sales
d- could be effected, and several lots taken out of the market
; unsold. Top of best Beef, 81. 6d. ; current, 81.; middling
re- and inferior, 6s. 6d. to 61.9 d. per Dutch stone.
