METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
For the time of year, the supply of foreign stock on sale
to-day was somewhat extensive. Both for beasts and sheep
the demand ruled inactive at barely previous rates.
Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrivals of
beasts were moderate as to number, and the quality of the
stock was prime.: The supply from Scotland comprised 336
head, in excellent condition. The demand for nearly all
breeds of beasts was in a somewhat inactive state, and, in
some instances, prices favoured the butcher to the extent
of 2d per 81bs. The general top figure for beef was ss. 4d. ;
but some very superior stock realised ss. 6d. per 8 lbs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, snd Cambridgeshire we
received 2,200 Scots, crosses, &c. ; from other parts of Eng-
land, 700 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 336 Scots and
crosses; and from Ireland, 180 oxen and heifers.
The supply of sheep on sale was small. The general
quality of the stock being very middling, good and prime
Downs and half breeds moved off steadily at fully late
rates ; but inferior breeds were in slow request on former
terms. The general top figure for mutton was 6s. 2d. per
81bs, Half-bred tegs and long-woolled sheep, carrying
valuable skins, changed hands at high prices. There wero
a few clipped• sheep in the layers, but, owing to the se-
' verity of the weather, they are not exhibited for sale in
the market.

Calves were in moderate supply and steady request at
late rates. The top price was ss. Gd. per 81bs.
Pigs were in fair average request at previous quotations.
