METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Owing to the prevailing strong gales of wind having pre-
vented the arrival cf rseveral vessels laden with stock, the
supply of foreign beasts and sheep in to-day's market was
limited, and sales progressed steadily, on higher terms.

The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our own grazing
districts, were limited, and in but middling condition. The
supplies from Ireland and Scotland were only moderate-
-47 bullocks having been los tin the Aberdeen boats wrecked
off the Tyne. All breeds of boasts commanded a steady in.
quiry, at an advance in the quotations compared with Mon-
day last of 2d per Sibs. A few very superior Scots and
crosses realised 5s 8d ; but the general top figure was 5s 6d
per Blbs.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire,,we received about 2,100 shorthorns, &c.; from other
parts of England, 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 143
Scots and crosses; and, from Ireland, 350 oxen and
heifers.

The show of sheep was small, but in improved condi.

tion. The mutton trade was very firm, and the currencies
advanced fully 2d per 81bs. The general top figure was
5s 10d, but some prime Downs were disposed of at 61
per Blbs.

Calves—the supply of which was limited—moved cff
freely, at '2d per Sibs. more money. The quotations from
4s 2d to 5s 2d per Sibs.

The pork trade was in a sluggish state, at barely late
rates.

The supplies of home-grown potatoes on sale are Mode,-
rately extensive, but with kesh produce the markets are
scantily supplied. On the whole, the trade is steady, most
descriptions of potatoes being in fair average request at full
