quality was inferior. The show of foreign stock was
comparatively small. The attendance of buyers being
numerous, and the weather favourable for slaughtering,
the Beef trade ruled steady, and, in some instances,
prices advanced 2d per Sibs. The best Scots realised 3s
to 4s per Blbs, at which figures a clearance was speedily
effected. From Lincolnshire Leicestershire, and North-
amptonshire, we received 1,800 short horns; from other
parts of England, 400 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.,
and from Scotland 260 horned and polled Scots.
We were again but ',moderately supplied with Sheep.
Fine old Downs were very scarce, and 2d per 81bs higher
than on Monday last, 4s 8d per Sibs having been realised
for such qualities. In other kinds, a full business was
transacted at very full prices. It must be understood
that the general top figure for Downs did not exceed 4s
6d per 81bs. Some small Calves moved off steadily, at
fully the late improvement. Otherwise, the Veal trade
Was inactive. The demand for Pigs was steady, and late
rates were well supported.
