The general quality of the foreign stock shill continues
inferic a-, especially the sheep from Hambro'. As regards
the latter, we may observe that they are described by
some Fie rties as an importation from Spain; but it must
be un d erstood that—though they are all composed of
Merinos s—no sheep have reached ns this year frcm the
Spanbth coast.
The show of foreign stock, to-day, was very moderate,
but in eomewhat improved condition.
A v ery limited supply of beasts was received fresh up
from our own grazing districts, and its quality was in-
ferior. The beef trade ruled somewhat acti're, at an ad-
vance 'in the prices obtained on Monday last of 2d per Mrs.
A few inferior Scots realised 5s 4d* but the general lop
figure for beef was 5s 2d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk,
Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,100 Scots and
short-i aorns. From Lancashire, &c., 900 short;-horns ; from
other parts of England, 300 of various breeds; and from
Scotia ad 160 horned and polled Scots.
The 'show of sheep was small, and we observed a great
falling off in their weight and condition. We had an
active inquiry for all breeds, at fully 2d per 81bs above
the rates current on this day sen'night. Trime Downs
were T forth fully 5s 2d per Blbs.
Lancibs—the supply of which was rather limited—sold
briskly, at 2d per Blbs more money.
The supply of calves being good, the veal trade was
inactiom, at barely stationary prices.
Thei!e) was more doing in pigs, the value of which had
an upward tendency.
