For the time of year, the show of foreign stock in to-day's
market was good, and in full average condition.
The receipts of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were extensive, and there was a decided improve-
ment in their general weight. Owing to the mildness of the
weather, and the large supplies of meat on offer in Newgate
and Leadenhall, the beef trade ruled he ►vy, at a decline
in the prices of Monday last of 2d per 81bs. The top figure
for the best Scots was 4s 6d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,900 Scots and short horns ; from the northern
districts 720 short-horns ; and from Scotland 640 horned
and polled Scots.
Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was limited
the demand for that description of stock was in a sluggish
state. In prices, however, no change took place. The
best old Downs sold at 5s 2d per 81bs.
Very few calves were on offer, awl the quotations of
veal were very irregular. Inferior calves sold at 3s 10d to
4s 10d, prime ditto 5s to 5s 6d per 81bs.
We had rather a dull sale for pigs, the supply of which
was moderate, on former terms.
