The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was by no
means extensive, and m very middling condition. Nearly
the whole sold at full prices.
From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts
this morning wore larger, the time of year considered. On
the whole, their general weight and quality were good; in-
deed, very few really inferior beasts were brought forward.
Although the attendance of buyers was extensive, the beef
trade—owing, in some measure, to the -unfavourable state
of the weather—was less active than on Monday last, yet
prices were supported, the primest Scots having realised
4s. per 81bs.
The droves from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and North-
amptonshire, amounted to about 1,000 short horns • from
Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, 1,4(10 Scots
and short horns ; and from Scotland 600 horned and polled
Scots. - - -

We were seasonably well supplied with sheep, both as
to number and quality ; neverthelesi, the demand for
that description of stock ruled somewhat firm, and, in
some instances, the quotations were on the advance. The
primed Downs sold readily, ae 55. per 81bs.
Calves came steadily to hand, yet the veal trade was
firm, at fully Friday's advance in prices. The primest
veal realised 4s. 4d. per 81bs.

There was rather more inquiry for pigs, the value of
which was well supported,
