METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
Notwithstanding that the show of beasts here, to-day,
was rather limited, the demand for all breeds ruled some-
what heavy, at prices barely equal to Monday. The ex-
treme value of the best Scots was 58 per lbs. The supply
of sheep was very moderate, both as to number and quality.
Downs and half breds moved off freely, at full quotations;
but all other breeds were a dull inquiry, at late rates. In
some instances, heavy sheep were rather cheaper. The top
price was 5s 10d per Blbs. 'We have to report an active
sale for calves, and, an advance in the currencies of 4d per
Blbs. The Lest veal was worth 5s per Sibs. Pigs sold
steadily, at extreme rates.
