METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of beasts on offer in to-day's market was only
moderate as to number, and the general quality of the stock
was inferior. The few prime breeds on offer sold readily, at
very full prices. Otherwise, the beef trade was in a slug-
gish state, on former terms. There was a good consumptive
demand for sheep—the show of which was rather limited—
at fully previous rates. A few very superior Downs rea-
lised 5s 8d per slbs. Calves met a dull inquiry, at aboui
stationary prices. The supply was by no means extensive
In pigs and mulch cows, very little business was transacted
at late rates.
