We were seasonably well supplied with foreign stock,
amongst which were 200 oxen from Spain.
There was an increased arrival of beasts fresh up from
our own grazing districts, compared with Monday last,
but the general condition of the supply was inferior. Al-
though the attendance of buyers was tolerably
e good,ed.T
the
h e
trade ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per
81bs, and a clearance was, with difficulty, fft
highest price for Scots was 5s 21 per 81bs. From Lin-
colnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we re-
ceived 1,100 short-horns; from the Eastern districts, B'lo
Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of England, 350
of various kint,s ; and from Scotland, 200 polled Scots.
For the time of year we were very moderately supplied
with sheep, at least two kinds of which were of inferior
quality. Prime Downs and half-breds sold steadily, at full
prices ; all other breeds moved off slowly, at barely late
rates,
We had a moderate demand for lambs, the supply of
which was by no means extensive, at last week's currency,
viz., 4s 8d to 6s per 81bs.
Prime small calves sold steadily, at an advance of 2d
per Sibs ; other kinds of veal were tolerably firm, at full
prices.
Pigs changed bands to a fair extent on former terms.
