The majority consist of foreign and inferior quality,
and several of this kind remain unsold. The number
of Sheep and Lamhs is, for the time of year, large;
the weather being cool buyers arc more plentiful, but prices
are not much higher. Trade for Calves is active at a slight
advance. From Germany and Holland there are 463 Beasts,
2,380 Sheep, and 36.5 Calves ; Spain, 260 Sheep ; and 115
