SMITHFIELD.
To-day's market was scantily supplied with beasts,
both as to number and quality ; nevertheless, owing to
the limited number of buyers in attendanc,-, the donned
for that description of stock ruled heavy. at barely MOO
day's decline in the quotations, the top figure for the
best Scots being 35 6(1 per 81bs.; prime Down Sheep
were scarce, and held at full prices; but all other breeds
met, a slow irquiry. About 200 lambs were brought
forward, and which sold slowly, at from 4s 8d to 5s per
81bs.; Calves, were in moderate supply, and sluggish
demand, at our quotations. The Pork trade was dull+
but no change took place in prices. Milch Cows sold
at from 141 to 181 each, including their small calf.
