CATTLE : The number of beasts is smaller, and the
quality very middling. The few good ones on offer make
about the same as on Monday ; but in other kinds there is
very little doing. The supply
of sheep is about the same as
of late; trade is, however, worse, and they cannot all be
sold. Good calves are scarce, and Monday's quotations
are fully supported. From Germany and Holland there
are 96 beasts, 560 sheep, and 230 calves. From the
Northern and Midland Counties, 350 beasts ; and 139
mulch cows from the Home Counties.
