CATTLE,
SMITHFIELD, Two o'Clock.-The supply of Beasts
to-day is large, and the trade exceedingly 'heavy, especially
for second rate descriptions. The choicest Scots, however,
of which there are but few on offer, scarcely suffer an reduc-
tion, 4s. 4d. being for the most parts readily obtained. For
the most selling Short Horns, 4s. is the extreme price, 3s. Bd.
to 3s. lOd. being more generally submitted to. There is
very little business doing in middling qualities, and although
there is a disposition to take lower prices, a clearance cannot
be effected. Foreign arrivals continue to he considerable;
we have nearly 500 from Holland and Germany; from
Scotland 40; about 300 Leicester and Lincoln, ; 100
from various parts of the country ,• and 120 Milch Cows.
The number of Sheep is larger, and the demand but small,
there is a consequent reduction in price of nearly 4d. per Bth.
Choicest Downs cannot be quoted at more than 65., although
in some few instances that price is rather exceeded. The
same may be said of our top quotations for Long Wools.
The quality of our foreign supply is very inferior • we have
about 1,140 Sheep from Holland and Germany, bid a great
proportion of them remain unsold. Calves are tolerably
plentiful ; prices are lower ; it is very difficult to make
4s. 10d. of a choice one, but this is accomplished in a few
instances: there were 22 from Holland. The trade for Pigs
is very slow • the weather having been unfavourable since
Monday for isles of Pork in the dead markets, lower prices
are taken, especially for large Hugs.

NEWBVRT, Noe. 19,-There were more Besets,
Sheep, and Pigs here to-day than usual, Prime arriving from
Andover fair, that did not sell there. The fat Beasts were
quickly taken up by the country butchers at from 31. Ad. to
4s. per atone. Lean stores made from 101. to 151. each. Cows,
at prices between 101. and 161. each ; Calves, from 21s. to
30s each. Fat Sheep, fat Wethers, and Ewes, from ss. to
ss. 4d. per stone ; second quality, from 41. 6d. to 4s. Bd.
Ewes and Lambs for winter feeding sold quite as high as
hitherto, and were NOD picked up. Pigs were very numer-
ous, the prices somewhat better, lean Sows fetching from 31.

Hogs, from 9s. 6d. to 10s.
RUGBY GREAT HORSE FAIR.-Thin fair, which
continues eight days, commenced on Monday last, and was
very well attended. The supply of Horses was much larger
than has been known for years, and the business transacted,
as well as the prices realised, was satisfactory. The follow-
ing are the prices at which the different breeds of Horses
met with ready sale ; hunters, of which there were several
very promising-looking animals, 60 to 80 guineas; carriage
horses, 20 to 30 guineas; 4-year-olds, used to double harnew,
30 to 40 guineas; bays or greys (in pairs), 90 to 120 guineas;
colts, 18 to 28 guineas; hacks, in great demand, but scarce
supply, 20 to 30 guineas; cart-hones, very ready sales, 22 to
28 guineas; cob, 14 to 22 guineas ; Welsh Ponies in abun-
dance, at all prices, from 41. to 141. Monday concludes the
fair, and is set apart exclusively for" screws, and the tag-
rag and bobtail of the lot. A great deal of business was done
by commission for entire horses and brood-mares to send to
Russia, France, Prussia, Re., and were forthwith boxed up,
and sent, per rail, to Hull, London, dm., for shipment to
their destinations.
