There was only a moderate show of foreign stock in to-
day's market, but its general quality was tolerably good.
From our own grazing dist-Acts, as well BS front Scot-
land; the arrivals of beasts were seasonably large, and in
excellent condition ; indeed, this was one of the best sup-
plies exhibited during the present year. Notwithstanding
that the attendance of buyers was good, the beef trade
ruled heavy, at Friday's decline iu the quotations of 2d
per Blbs. The highest figure for Scots was 4s 6d per
81b3.
The arrivals of beasts from Norfolk, Suff,lk, Roex' and
Cambridgeshire were 2,500 S,ots ant short-horns ; from
other parts of England, 4)0 of various breeds ; and from
Scotland, 600 horned and polled Scots.
There was a decided increase in the number of sheep
compared with Monday last, but at least two thirds of the
supply were beneath the middle quality. Prime Downs
and half-breds sold steadily, at full prices; but most infe-
rior sheep were very dull, and 2d per Sibs lower than on
this day se'nnight.
Prime lambs were scarce, and realised full quotations.
Inferior lambs were dull, and 2d per Blbs cheaper. -
The few calves in the market were disposed of at last
week's currency. l'he highest tore was 5s 4d per Blbs.
In pigs, very little was doing on former terms. •
The arrivals of stock, by sea, from Ireland, last week,
wore 103 beasts.
