rhe show of foreign stock in to-day's market was limited
fo r the time of year. From our own grazing districts the
re ceipts of beasts fresh up this morning were very mode-
rate, but their general quality was prime; indeed, scarcely
al 7 inferior breeds were in the market. As the attendance
of buyers was large, the beef trade ruled brisk, at an ad-
vr ince in the quotations realised on Monday last of quite
2e 1 per 81bs, and a clearance was speedily effected. The
bi ist Scots realised quite 5s per Blbs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
13] idgeshire were 1,900 Scots and short horns; from other
p. irts of England, 400 of various breeds; and from Scot-
la .nd, 260 horned and polled Scots.

There was only a limited show of sheep, the general
w eight and condition of which were by no means first-rate.
T he mutton trade ruled brisk, and prices were quite 2d
par 81bs higher than on this day sen'night. The best old
Downs, in the wool, sold at fully os; out of the wool,
44 6d per 81bs.

The lamb trade was active, at 2d per 81bs more money.
_Prices ranged from 5s 4d to Gs 8d per 81 bs.
Calves were in moderate supply and good request, at
Friday's advance on the quotations.

The business doing in pigs was limited, on former terms.
