SMITHFIEL D .
Although the supply of beasts i) i to-clay's market wa s
very limited, the demand for all 1 eeds ruled heavy, at
barely Monday's quotations. We ss •o re well supplied with
sheep, which sold slowly, and the •currencies were with
difficulty supported. Lambs move, i off heavily, at from
5s 2d to Gs tid per 8 lbs. Prime sm:61;1 calves were scarce,
and rather dearer, but inferior cal' re s met a dull market.
The pork trade was heavy, at bar 01 y late rates. Mitch
cows moved off slowly, at from 141 to, 191 each, including
their small calf.
