METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Although the supply of beasts in to-day's market was
very moderate, and mostly in low condition, the beef trade
ruled heavy, at barely Monday's quotations. We were
but scantily supplied with sheep, which moved off steadily
at fully late rates. The best Downs readily produced ss.
per Sibs. We had rather a large supply of calves in the
market, and the veal trade ruled heavy, at a decline of
from 6d to 84 per Blbs. Pigs sold slowly on former terms.
Milch cows were dull, at from 141. to 191. each, including
their small calf.

Per Sibs to sink the offals.
