The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was
moderately extensive for the time of year, but its general
quality was by no means good.
From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts
fresh up to-day were on the increass, and in good con-
dition. The supply from Scotland was extensive. Not-
withstanding that the attendance of buyers was largo, and
the weather favourable for slaughtering, the beef trade
ruled heavy, at a decline in the prices obtained •rn Monday
last of 2d per 8 lbs ; the extreme value of the best lois
bring 4s per 8 lbs, and a totl clearance was not effected.
Tne bullock arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, ar d
Cambridgeshire, amounted to 1,800 Scots, shorthorns, &e. ;
from other prrts of England, 6CO Herefords, runts, Devout,
&e. ; and, from Scotland, 1,000 horned and polled Scots,
chiefly per railway.

Th.; supply of sheep on offer was again very limited.
For all breeds the demand ruled active, but no actual
advance took place in the qaotations. The primest old
Downs re :lily produced 5s er 8 lbs. There were several
pens of shorn sheep in theimarket, and which sold at is
per 8 lbs beneath those in the wool.

- Although the supply of calves was tolerably good, the
veal trade was active, at Friday's improvement in prices.
i.he primest calves were worth 5s per 8 lbs.
We had a fair sale for pigs, at late currencies.
Per 81bs by the carcase.
