There was a slight increase in the supply of foreign, stock
in to-clay's market.

From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were seasonably good, and in excel-
lent condition ; indeed, there were very few what may be
termed inferior beasts in the market. Although the at-
tendance of buyers was rather extensive, the beef trade
was in a sluggish state, at a decline in the prices of Mon-
day last of 2d per 81bs. The kighest quotation for Scots
was 4s 10d per 81bs.

The receipts of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire were 2,500 Scots and short-horns ; from
other parts of England, 500 of various breeds ; and, from
Scotland, 240 horned and polled Scots.
With sheep we were fairly supplied, and their general
condition was good. The mutton trade was not so active
as on this day se'nnight ; nevertheless, the quotations were
supported—the best old Downs, in the wool, being worth
5s 2d per 811os. About 3,000 shorn sheep were in the mar-
ket.

The supply of calves was moderate, whilst the ve.11...d.
ruled inactive, on easier terms—the highest figure being Ss
per 81b2.

Pigs were in fall average supply, and sluggish request,
at last week's quotations.
The arrivals of stook by sea from Ireland, last week,
amounted to 27 beasts.

NEWGATE AND LEIVDENHALL.
There has been a decided increase in the arrivals of
country-killed meat up to these markets since Monday last,
but the show of town-slaughtered was very moderate. On
the whole a fair amount of business was transacted, at our
quotations.
