METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

For the time of year the supply of foreign stock on sale
hero to-day was good, but chiefly in middling condition.
The trade may be considered steady, at full prices.
The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts
were moderately extensive. The quality of most breeds,
however, was only middling. The supply from Scotland
was in excellent condition. On the whole, the beef trade
was in a sluggish state at, in some instances, a decline in
the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81b.
The top figure for Scots and crosses was 5s 4d per 81b.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 2,300 Scots and crosses ; from other parts of Eng.,
land, 700 various breeds; from Scotland, 304 Scots and
crosses ; and from Ireland, 110 oxen and heifers.
Notwithstanding the severity of the weather about a
moiety of the sheep—the show of which was small—was
out of the wool. The quality of most breeds was good,
and the demand ruled steady at fully last week's currency.
Primo Downs sold at 6s 2d, but a few half-breds, with very
fine wool, realised 6s 4d and even Gs 6d per 81b. Clipped
Downs produced 5s por 81b. •

A few lambs were disposed off at from is to 7s 4d per 81b.
Calves were in moderate supply and steady request at
full prices, viz., from 4s 4d to 5s 6d per Blbs.
We have to roport a good trade for pigs on rather higher
erms.

There was very little activity in the demand for wheat,
in the country markets held on Saturday. Good and fine dry
samples, however, commanded, in most instances, a ready
sale, at fully late rates. The spring corn trade was quiet,
without material change in prices. For flour, there was a
moderate demand, on former terms.
