To-day's market was very scantily supplied with, es
kind of foreign stock, the general quality of whien
very inferior.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning from c r
own grazing districts were tolerably extensive, and in fa;

;
average condition. The attendance of both town if,
country buyers was good ; hence, the beef trade, re'i
steady, at prices equal to those paid on Monday last, and a
good clearance was effected. The top general quotati.
for beef was 3s 10d, per 81bs. ; but- a few very super,
Scots realised 4s, per 81bs. 41'
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampt(
shire, we received about 3,100 short horns - from otl
parts of England, 700 Devons, runts, Herefords, &c. ;
from Scotland, 470 homed and polled Soots.
There was a slight falling off in the number of she'
nevertheless, owing to the large quantities of meat
show in Newgate and Leadenhall, there was less disposit'
shewn to purchase. Prime Down breeds sold steadily
full quotations, viz., 4s 4d to 4s 6d, per 81bs. ; but Ke
half-breeds, &c., were dull at barely stationary prime-
Although the supply of calves was small, the veal t
was very, inactive at last week's currency.
In pigs comparatively little business was doing ; flay
theless, the quotations were supported.
The Great Christmas market will be held here on 111(
day next.
