The show of foreign stock in to-day'arnarket was limited,
and in very poor condition.
From our own grazing districts, th. arrivals of beasts
were seasonably good, and in excellentcondition ; indeed,
with the exception of the great day, the show of stock
this morning was the best since the beginning of last year.
Although the attendance of butchers was moderately ex-
tensive, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at a decline
in the quotations obtained on Monday last, of 2d. per
Blbs. The general top figure for beef w%s ss. per Blbs.
The bullock receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cam-
bridgeshire, amounted to 1,300 Scots ; from Lincolnshire,
400 short horns ; from other parts of England, 500 of
various breeds ; and from Scotland, 600 horned and polled

Scots.
The supply of sheep was tolerably good. Although the
mutton trade was not to say brisk, the transactions in most
kinds of sheep was rather extensive, at last week's cur-
rency. The best old Downs were worth 5s 2d per 81bs.
Scarcely any calves were in the market. The few on
offer sold at very high rates, viz., 4s 1041 to 6s per 81bs.
The supply of pigs was bat moderate. On the whole,
the pork trade was firm, at ♦ery full prices.
