The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was un-
usually small.
From our own grazing districts a very small supply of
beasts came fresh to hand, but its general quality was good.
There was a moderate number of buyers in attendance, and
the beef trade ruled brisk, at an improvement in the quo-
tations obtained on Monday last of 2d per 81bs, and a good
clearance was effected. The best Scots produced 5s per
81b. The arrival of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex,
and Cambridgeshire amounted to 1,800 Scots and short-
horns ; from other parts of England 300 of various breeds;
and from Scotland 240 horned and polled Scots.
We were very scantily supplied with all breeds of sheep.
The primest old Downs, from their extreme scarcity, were
about 2d per 81bs dearer than on this day se'nnight, yet
the general top figure for mutton, in the wool, did not ex-
ceed 5d per 81bs. Half-brads, Swintons, and other breeds,
were steady, but not dearer. There were about 1,000 sheep
out of the wool, which sold at 6d per 81bs under those in
the wool.

There were very few calves in the market, yet they
changed bands slowly, at from 4s 2d to 5s per Sibs.
The pork trade was ♦ery dull, but we have no change to
notice in prices.
