We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with foreign stock, the general condition of which was
very inferior.

The receipts of beasts from our own grazing districts
were but moderate. Compared with several previous
market days there was a decided falling off in their
weight. As the attendance of buyers was good the beef
trade ruled firm, at an advance in the quotations paid on
Monday last of fully 2d. per 81bs. A few very prime Scots
realised quite 4d. 10d., but the general top figure for beef
was 4s. Bd. per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 2,000 Scots and shorthorns; from other parts of
England, 400 of various breeds; and from Scotland 400
horned and polled Scots.
There was rather an extensive show of sheep. For most
breeds the demand was firmer than on Friday • neverthe-
less, it was decidedly inactive at 2d per 81bs beneath the
currencies of Monday last. The best old Downs realised
4s 10d per Sibs.
For lambs, the supply of which was good, the demand
was rather slow at 4d per Sibs beneath the quotations rea-
lised on this day's se'ennight. The highest figure was 6s
per Blbs.
We were well supplied with calves, in which a full ave-
rage business was transacted at 4d per 81bs beneath last
Monday's prices.
Pigs were in good supply, and moderate request on
former terms.
