METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
The supply of oats on sale in to-day's market was only
moderate, and in very middling condition. Owing to their
scarcity prime breeds were taken off freely, at in some in-
stances an advance in the quotations, compared with Mon-
day, of 2d per Blbs ;extreme otherwise, the beef trade was inactive,
at late rates. The
to price was 4s 10d, and the
more general quotation 4s Sd per Blbs. Sheep, the show of
which was rather limited, commanded more attention, and
prices had an upward tendency. A few very superior
Downs realised 5s 2d per Slbs. Lambs sold briskly, at 4d
per 81bs more money. The supply was limited. Calves
movel off slowly, at late rates. In pigs and mulch cows
very little was doing, on former terms.
