SMITHFIELD.

The supply of beasts hero, to-day, was' bet moderate;
yet the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, and, in some in•
stances, prices were 2d per 81ba lower than on Monday.
We had a good sale for sheep—the show of which was sea-
sonably good—at very full prices. The best shorn sheep
were worth 4s 8d per Sibs. We had a dull inquiry for
calves, at a decline in prico of 2d per 81bs. In pigs very
little was doing at late rates. Lambs sold slowly at from
58 to Bit 8d per 81bs.
Mitch cows were dull, at from W. to 191. each, including
their small calf. •
