METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of beasts on sale here, to-day, was tolerably
extensive, and all breeds moved off heavily, at Monday's
currency. A few very inferior Scots realised 5s per 811)5.
With sheep we were fairly supplied, and the mutton trade
was inactive, on former terms. The best Downs were worth
5s 4d per 81bs.
.Lambs—the show of which was only mo-
derate—were dull, a: late rates, viz., from 5s Sd to 6s 8d per
8ibo". There was a fair inquiry for calves, at from 4s to 5s
per gnu,. In pigs and mit,:tt cows very little was doing ;
prices, ho wever, were supporte2.
