CATTLE, &C.—SMITHFIELD, Two o'Clock..—
To-monow being Chriehnu-day, this may be termed a
holiday market. The butchers generelly. are hilly stocked
with meat, and too busily engaged disposing of it to attend
here. This state of things 'piing anticipated, the supplies
are not very large, more, however, than cue be sold. The
best Beasts are disposed of slowly, but at much reduced nitre.
Many middling ones remain unsold. There is very little good
Mutton on Wes ; this description makes about the same as
on Monday, bat second-rate cannot be cleared off at a
reduction. Calves are not numerous, but trade is hardly le
good, and Monday's prices are with difficulty supported.
Trade is brisk for Pigs. From Rolland we bare 112 Beasts,
260 Sheep, and 22 Calves.

GIRRURNII FAIR, Dec. 20.—We had a tolerably good
show of fat stock, considering the time of the year •; a good
attendance of butchers, which touted a brisk male for any-
thing good, but middling things wire rather bad to tell
We had not a very large number of present Calvert, and not
many buyers, which caused a very dull market prices not q
good as they have been. Very few lean Irish; lean Short
Horns were very much looked after, and sold high.
LIIRDR FOiTNIMIT Fita.—We have had a remarkably
small supply of Beasts at market to-day, but they were gene-
rally of good quality; and all sold up at 61d. per lb. ; in-
ferior, 61d. The Sheep fetched from ed. to 131 d. per lb.,
and were all sold up.

Livenrooi, Deo. 20.—The supply of all kinds of stock at
our market to-day has been about the same as last week—
smaller in number than for some time before, the quality
being a fair avenge, though nothing particularly fine for
this tune of the year. There was a numerous attendance of
customers, and the whole met a brisk sale, at high prima
Beef, M. to 61c1. per lb. Mutlon, 6d. to 7id.

respect of numbers, but the quality middling; also, a large
show of Swine. The demand for all kinds of Cattle was
brisk ; former prices fully supported, and all sold. The Sheep
