For the time of year, the show of foreign stock was bat
moderate.

The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts
were tolerably good, and in full average condition. All
breeds sold briskly, at an advance in the quotations paid
in Smithfield on Monday last of 4d. per 81bs. The best
Scots were worth 53 per Sibs. and a good clearance was
effected. _ _ _

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essox, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,300 Scots and shorthorns ; from other parts of
England 50) of various breeds, and from Sco:land 500
home-bred polled Scots. The arrivals from Ireland, last
week, direct by sea, were 195 beasts, 92 sheep, and 19
lambs.

We wore tolerably well supplied with sheep, yet the
mutton trade ruled very brisk, and the quotations were
quite 21. per 81bs. higker. The best old Downs realised
fully ss. 4d. per Sibs.

-
There was a good demand for lambs, at full prices, ♦iz.,
5s 4d to 6s 8d per Sibs.

The few calves on sale moved off briskly at from to
6d per 81bs above the currencies of Monday last. Tho top
price was 5s 6d per Sibs.
There was more doing in pigs, and prices had an upward
tendency.
Tue arrangements for the reception of the beasts, sheep,
lambs, and pigs gave great satisfaction, an:l reflected great
credit upon the City authorities; but it wilt, we consider,
be found necessary to afford additonal shelter for the
