The show of foreign stock in to-day's market wrs season-
ably extensive, and in full average conditian.
Although the arrival of home-fed beasts fresh up this
Morning were somewhat less than those reported on Mon-
day last, the supply of that description of stock was sea-
sonably extensive ; whilst its general weight and quality
were good. The attendance of both town and country
buyers was somewhat on the increase : nevertheless, the
beef trade, owing, in some measure, to the change of the
Weather, was in a sluggish state. In prices, however, no
change took place. The primest Scots sold at 4s. per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,550 Scots and short horns ; from othar parts of
ngla,rtd, 600 of various breeds ; and, from Scotland, 700
horned, and polled Scots.
The numbers of sheep were again very limited ; but we
observed a large increase in the arrival of clipped tegs.
Most woolled sheep sold steadily at full prices—the primest
old Downs being worth ss. 2d. Those out of the wool
raoved off slowly, at late rates—the best Downs being
quoted at 4s. 2d. per 81bs.
We were tolerably well supplied with calves. Prime veal
changed hands steadily, at full prices. Otherwise the trade
ruled'. dull.

Pigs--tim number of which was but moderate, moved
off siowly, on former terms.
