Compared with that exhibited on Monday lost, the sup-
ply of Beasts on offer in to-day's market was limited,
and in very middling condition. The attendance of
buyers Was far from numerous, yet the Beef trade ruled
steady, at an advance in the quotations of 2d per Blhs.
The primest Scots sold at from 3s 6d to 3s 8d per Blhs,
and a good clearance was easily effected. From Nor-
folk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,300
Scots, Herefords, and short horns; from the north of
England, 600 short horns; from other parts of England,
400 Herefords, Runts, and Devons, &c.; and, from Scot-
land, 440 horned and polled Scots, chiefly per railway.
Notwithstanding that the numbers of Sheep were on the
decrease, the demand for that description of stock was
bY. no means brisk. However, in some instances, the
filmiest old Downs in the wool realised 4s 6d; but no
improvement took place in the value of other breeds;
end it must be observed that the general top figure for
.0111 Downs was 4s 4d per Blbs. About 2,000 shorn Sheep
Pere brought forward, and which sold at 8d per Bibs
Under those in the wool. The few Lambs in the market
changed
hands slowly, at from 4s 8d to 5s per Blbs.
rune small Calves were in moderate request, at full
currencies. Otherwise, the Veal trade ruled dull, at late
Pates- We had a very slow inquiry for Pigs; but no
material change took place in the quotations.
