from the eastward. The quality of stock was generally of a
very superior description, and attracted a good deal of atten-
tion. The business done was tolerably good, and • desire to
secure bargains at the prevailing rates wee maniteeted.
Prices fee prime beef ranged from 9s. to 124. per score, but
the latter Awe, it should be observed, was only occasionally
given ; very excellent beef was sold at 10s. per score. Out:of
a lot of seventeen superior oxen and heifers, two oxen were
