The show Of foreign stock here, to-day, was good as to
number, but very deficient in quality. Amongst it were
upwards of 200 oxen from Portugal.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning was moderately good, but at least
two kinds of them were in very middling condition. All
breeds moved off briskly, at an advance in the prices ob-
tained on Monday last of 2d. per Blbs., the primest lots
being worth ss. 4d. per Sibs.
The receipts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire, amounted to 1,000 shorthorns ; from
Norfolk, &c , KOO Scots and shorthorns; from other parts
of England, 400 of various breeds; and from Scotland,
220 horned and polled Scots.
For the time of year, we were scantily supplied with
sheep in very poor condition. All breeds changed hands
steadily, and last week's currency was well supported. The
Downs realized ss. 2d. per 81bs.
The supply of lambs was bnt moderate, and the trade
was steady, at full quotations, viz., 4s. Bd. to Gs. per 81bs.
Calves were in good supply, and fair request, at extreme
rates. The top figure was ss. 2d. per Blbs.
The demand for pigs was by no means active, yet prices
were well supported.
