METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supply of foreign beasts and calves on offer in to.
day's market was seallonably good, and foreign sheep
limited. Sales progressed slowly, and the quotations were
with difficulty supported.
From our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland,
the arrival of beasts fresh up this morning was moderately
extensive, and in full average condition. The attendance
of buyers was far from numerous, and all breeds of breasts
moved off slowly. Prime Scots, crosses, short horns, &1.,
mostly supported last Monday's prices ; otherwise, the
quotations had a drooping tendency. The extreme value
of the best Scats, &c., did not exceed 4s 10d, and short-
horns 4s 6d per 81bs.
The receipts of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire, comprised 2,100 Scots, short horns, and
crosses, from other parts of England, 650 various breeds;
fr m Scotland. 500 Scots and crosses ; and, from Ireland,
150 oxen and heifers.

Although the supply of sheep was very limited, the
mutton trade was in a sluggish state; nevertheless, the
currencies were well supported. '1 he best Downs and half-
breeds changed hands at 6s per 81bs. There was a slight
improvement in the condition of most breeds.

Lambs, the supply of which was moderate, were a slow
sale, at from 78 to 7s 4d per Sibs.
We has a to report a dull inquiry for calves. at Thursday's
decline in the quotations, of 2d per 81bs. The top figure
was 58 4d per Bibs.

Pigs changed hands slowly, at about stationary prices.
