DEnnv, Dec. 1.5.-There was a very large supply

ANDEOItD, DEC. 15.-The trade to-day was heavy,
in consequence of higher prices being insisted on for both
Beef and Mutton, and the supply was anything but large.
SALISBURY, DEC. 11-This morning there were
967 fat Osen, Cows, and other beasts for side, being rather
under the usual quantity. The custom of bringing them
enormously fat appears to be fast dying away here, se those
exhibited to-day were in the first-rate condition, yet without
superabundant fat; more than half were of the Devonshire
breed, and fine animals the generality were. The largi at
and best Oxen were those of Mr. Bond, Mr. Curtis, Mr. Crew,
Messrs. Strange, Mr. Allen, Mr. Kimber, ike. The prices
demanded for the best were from 12s. to 12s. Gd. per score ;
middling, from 10s. to 10s. 6d. The Herefords and North
Country, with a few Short-horns and Welsh, were also in
good condition, making from 10s. to Ils. per score ; some
inferior fatipd Cows and other beast. sold at la. less. In the
early part of the morning trade was slack, but by 11 o'clock
the butchers had to yield, and give the terms asked, when
nearly all the best were disposed of There were some Bolls
and Cows (lean) which did not seem to attract much notice.
Sheep : There were about 40 pens of South Downs, 20 of Horn
Sheep, and 31 of half-bred Leicester and Cotswold, bang •
shorter supply than usual, but as to quality never surpassed.
Mr. Jeffery 's pens of but n 4, M r. I)) km 's and Mr. Cocktr's fens
of hall-bred, Mr. Binfield's and Mr. Milton's Downs,
were splendid animals ; the prices very high; nearly all aold,
making from ss. to ss. Bd. the stone of 8 'b., manly
l
3/. 3s. to 41. each. As in the Beast market, the Sheep
were not sold in the early part of the day ; but the dealers
remaining firm, the top prices were reluctantly given,'many
a butcher giving more money than he will make by selling
the same by retail. The show of fat Calves were few in
number, Mr. Binfield having the best. Pigs were in great
number; the fat ones sold at from 101. to 10s. 6d. per score ;
the best small fat dairy-fed Porkers reached 11s. per score,
while large Bacon Hogs made but from 9s. to 9*. 64., with a
tendency to rim, many having been sold for the last month
in this market at . per score. There were about 3 score fat
swine and score o 9sf
lean do. ; the test were those of Mr.
Wiltshire. Horses : There were many of the best sold at
great prices, making from 401. to 701. each. Good cart and
Nag Colts made from 201. to 30/. each. Mr. Ellen, Mr.
Barnes, Mr. Jones, &c., had some first-rate Cattle. The
inferior Horses were almost unsaleable, as were 1 orest and
Welsh ponies.
GLASGOW, DEC. 14.--There was again a large
supply of cattle at market to-day, including a considerable
proportion of Iri,h beasts, but few animals of first-rate
quality were offering. Prices were a shade higher than at

sinking the offal, 10s. 4d. ; second quality, 9s. Bd. ; Cow and
ordin, Bs. 9d. Tbe
