The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was limited
for the time of year. From our own grazing districts the
ntecipts of beasts fresh up this morning were very mode-
rate, but their general quality was prime; indeed, scarcely
uny inferior breeds were in the market. As the attendance
of buyers was large, the beef trade ruled brisk, at an ad-
vance in the quotations realised on Monday last of quit.;
2a per 81bs, and a clearance was speedily effected. The
b eat Scots realised quite Gs per Sibs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire were 1,900 Scots and short horns; from other
parts of England, 400 of various breeds; and from Scot-
laud, 260 horned and polled Scots.
There was only a limited show of sheep, the general j
weight and condition of which were by no means 6ret-rate.
The mutton trade ruled brisk, and prieeb were quite 2d
per 81bs higher than on this day sen'night. The best old
Downs, in the wool, sold. at fully ss; out of the wool,
