METROPOLITAN CATTLE,

The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire comprise 1,100 head, from other parts of
England, 300 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 10 Scots
and crosses ; and from Ireland, 300 oxen and heifers.
The arrivals of sheep from English counties were small;
but there was a moderdte supply of Scotch and Irish breeds
in the pens. The trade was firm, and last Monday's cur-
rency was well supported. The general top figure was
6s 8d per 81b. In some instances as much as 7s per 81b
was realised.

Calves wore in fair supply and steady request, at fully
late rates. The top price was 5s Ed per 81b.
The pork trade was firm, and higher prices were ob-
tained.

There was a very largo supply of foreign stock on sale
in our market to-day, of; but•middling quality. The trade
was firm, and prices were rather higher than on Monday
last. The supply of beasts from Normandy was received
in good condition.

Fresh up from our own grazing districts the average of
beasts were small. From Scotland they amounted to only
10 head, but a tolerably good supply was received from
Ireland. The quality of the stock generally was very
middling. For the primest breeds there was a somewhat
active inquiry, at 5s 4d, 5s 6d, and in some instances 5s 8d
per filbs ; otherwise the beef trade ruled firm, and the quo-
tations were, in most transactions, 2d per 81bs higher than
on Monday last.
