METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
(THIS DAY.)
The number of beasts is the same as on Thursday last.
The trade is very slow indeed, and the small amount of
business trAnsacted is at about Monday's quotations. We
have a shorter supply of sheep, yet it exceeds the demand.
They cannot all be di.posed of, although there is a disposi-
tion to take lower prices. Calf trade is also doll, yet
choice qualities find purchasers at fair rates. Our foreign
supply consists of 170 beasts, 1,780 sheep, 104 calves, and
%5 pig!.
