There was a further slight increase in the supply of
foreign stock on offer in to-day's market.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were moderate as to number, and their general
quality was very pickle. Aa the weather was favourable
for slaughtering, and as . the attendance of butchers was
tolerably good, the beef trade ruled steady, and most breeds
changed hands at an advance in the quotations of Monday
last of 2d per 81bs. The best Scots realised 5s per 81bs.
From Norfolk:, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 2,500 Scots and shorthorns; from other parts of
England, 500 of 'various kinds; and from Scotland, 360
horned and polled Scots.

The numbers of sheep were moderate for the time of
year, and nearly all breeds reached us in good saleable con-
dition. The mutton trade was firm, and last week's cur-
rency was well supported. The best old Downs, in the
wool, realised 5s 2d ; out of the wool, 4s 8:1 per Slbs.
We had a fair show of lambs. The trade was steady,
at full prices, viz.; 5s to 5s Bd. for Dersets, and 5s 10d to
6s for Downs.

Calves—tbe supply of which was very moderate—moved
off steadily, at from 4s to 5s per Sibs., being au improve-
ment on Friday's rates of 2d por 811. m.
In pigs only a limited business was doing on former
terms.

The arrivals of stock from Ireland last week, by sea,
were confined to 18 beasts.

NEWGATE ANDLEADENHALL.
The supplies of both town anti country killed meat on
sale in these markets are tolerably good. Mutton is in
steady request, at full prices ; otherwise the demand is in
a sluggish state, and prices show a tendency to give way.
