SMITHFIELD MARKET.—THIS DAY.
We have not a large supply of Beasts, more than adequate,
however, to the demand. Trade is exceedingly dull, and
Monday's prices are barely supported. The ■nmher of
Sheep is very small, as is usual at this season of the year.
There is a very scanty attendance of buyer., and prices are'
no better. Calves are more:plentiful ; the av:rage quality
is inferior; a most unusual reduction from Monday's quota-
tions is experienced, and several remain unsold. From
Germany and Holland there ere 48 Beasts, 180 Sheep, and
149 Calves; Norfolk and Suffolk, 200 Beasts; 100 from tha
Northern and Midland Counties; and bo Milch Cows from
the Home Counties.
