There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock in
to-day's market, and its general quality was inferior.
From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts
put up were but moderate. The few prime breeds in the
market were in steady request, at prices fully equal to
those of Monday last—the best Scots being worth 5s 4d
per 81bs. Otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish
state, at, in some instances, a decline in the quotations of
2d per 81bs.
The receipts of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
&c., amounted to 1,600 short-horns; from other parts of
England, 600 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 40
Scots.
We were but moderately supplied with all breeds of
sheep for this time of year, On the whole the mutton
trade was firm, and last week's currency was well sup-
ported.
The show of lambs was tolerably good, and the lamb
trade was heavy, at barely the late decline in value.
Calves were in short supply, and steady request, at full
quotations. The best qualities of veal realised 5s 4d per
Blbs.

The pork trade was firm, at full prises.
