In reference to our comparative table of stock shown,
we may observe that the groat Christmas market was held
in Smithfield this day last year ; but that it will not be
held hero till Monday next, when a fine supply of stock is
expected to arrive.
The arrivals from Ireland last week, direct by sea,
amounted to 72 beasts and 150 pigs.
There was a moderate show of foreign stock in to-day's
market. The supply of Irish, via Liverpool, amounted to
300 beasts and GOO sheep in good condition.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of boasts
fresh up this morning were but moderate. In their general
quality, however, we observed a great improvement. For
all kinds we had an active demand at prices fully equal to
those paid on Monday last, and a good clearauco was
effected.

The arrivals of boasts from Lincolnshire, Liecestershire,
and Northamptonshire amounted to 1,600 short horns ;
from other parts of England 500 of various breeds, and
from Scotland 250 Scots. Amongst the foreign supply
were 130 Spanish oxen.
With sheep we wore but moderately supplied as to
quality, but their number was seasonably good. On the
whole the mutton trade was in a sluggish state at last
Monday's decline i❑ price. The top figure for Downs was
53 per Sibs.
The supply of calves was moderate, and the veal trade
ruled steady at 2d per Blbs above Friday's currency. The
bast veal realised 5s 2d per 81b5.
Pigs, the show of which was tolerably good, sold
slowly, yet prices were well supported.
