METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Our market, to-day, was seasonably well supplied with
beasts as to number ; but their general quality was inferior.
Primo Scots, &c., sold steadily, at very full prices, the top
figure being 5s per Blbs, otherwise, the beef trade was
heavy, at late rates. Sheep—the show of which was
moderately extensive—realised full currencies, with about
an average supply on offer. We have to report a slow sale
for lambs, at barely stationary prices. The extreme figure
was Gs 8,1 per Slbs. Calves were in largo supply and
sluggish request on former terms, viz., from 4s to 5s per
Sibs. The sale for pigs and mulch cows was heavy, at late
rates.
