To-day's market was tolerably well, but not to say
heavily, supplied with foreign stock for the time of
year. The whole changed hands at extreme rates.
From our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland,
the supply of beasts on offer was but moderate, and we
observed a decided falling off in their general weight and
condition. For all breeds the demand was rather active,
at the extreme rates paid on Monday last. The general
top figure for beef was ss, but a few very superior Scots
realikd 5s 2d per 81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 1,300 Scots and short-horns • from
other parts of England, 600 of various breeds ; and from
Scotland, 200 horned and polled Scots.
Compared with Monday last, there was a falling off in
the supply of sheep. The mutton trade was, therefore,
rather brisk, at an improvement in prices of 2d per 81bs.
The primest old Downs sold readily at 5s per Blbs.
For lambs, the show of which was good, we had a fair
demand, at full prices.
The show of calves was extensive. The sale for them
Was, therefore, inactive, at barely last week's currency.
In pigs very little business was transacted, but wo have
no change to notice in their value.
The arrivals of stock by sea from Ireland last week were
14 beasts and 18 calves.
Per 81bs to sink the offals.
