METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was about an average time-of-year supply of
foreign stock on offer in to-day's market, and the demand
for it ruled steady at prices quite equal to last week.
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with home-fed beasts, but their general quality was not
quite equal to Monday last. From Scotland the receipts
were good and in prime condition. From Ireland the sup-
ply was small. On the whole, the beef trade ruled steady
at quite last week's quotatioLs. The primest Scots and
crosses realised 5s 2d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Esser, and Cambrideshire we re-
ceived 2,000 Scots and crosses; from other parts of Eng-
land, 700 various breeds; froti Scotland 359 Scots and
Grosses ; and, from Ireland, 16( oxen and heifers.
The show of sheep was again only moderate. The
quality of most breeds; howeve-, was good. The mutton
trade was tolerably firm, and late rates were fully supported,
The general top figure was 6a, but a few very superior
Down realised 6s 2d per 81bs. 4boat 600 shorn sheep were
on offer. They sold at is per Blbs. beneath those in the
wool.

There were a few lambs on offer from Hampshire and
Surrey, and they changed hands at from 6s to 7s per 81bs.
We have to report a firm trade for veil, at very full
prices, viz., from 5s to 6s per 81bt.
The pork trade was steady, at gull currencies.
Per 81bs. to situ the offal.
