METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a full average supply of f9reign stock on offer
in to-d y's market, in somewhat improved condition. Sales
progressed slowly, at about stationary prices.
'll he receipts of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were seasonably good, but those from Scotland
were limited. Ireland, however, forwarded an increased
number. The general quality of stock was very middling.
Good and prime breeds moved off steadily, and last Mon
day's advance in quotations was supported. Otherwise,
the demand was in a sluggish state, at the reduction sub
mitted to on Thursday. The highest quotation for beet
was 5s 2d ; but some very good animals sold at 5s per 81b.
t rom Norfolk, buff ,lk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,800 Scots, short-horns, and crosses ; trom other
parts of England, including Lincolnshire, 1,000 various
breeds; from Scotland, 80 Scots and crosses; and from
Ireland, 130 oxen and heifers.

The stow of sheep was only moderate, butits quality was
prime. Nearly all breeds moved off freely at prices equal to
this day se'nnight. The best Lowns realised 5a 2d per 81b
We were fairly supplied with lambs, which moved 1..11
heavily at barely late rates, viz., from 65 4d to 6s Ed per
81b

Calves were in good supply and heavy request, at Thurs-
day's decline in values. Prices ranged from 3s 8d to 4s 8d
per 81b.
The pork trade was heavy, at about stationary prices.
