MARKETS—This Day.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
Tne supply of beasts here to-day being on the increase,
the demand for all breeds was somewhat heavy at a decline
in the quotations, compared with Monday, of 2d per 81b.
A few very superior Scots realised ss, but the general top
figure for beef was 4s 10d per 81b. The quality of the stock
was prime. Sheep, the show of which was moderate, were
inactive. In prices, however, no change took place. The
best Downs sold at 48 10d per 81b. We have to report a
dull inquiry for lambs, the supply of which was good, at
Mondays depression. A few superior lambs changed
hands at 7s, but the more general figure was 6s 8d per 81b.
Calves moved off slowly at late rates. In pigs and znilch
cows very little was doing on former terms.
