There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock on 'a
sale in to-day's market, yet the demand for it ruled heavy, St•
at drooping prices. 16
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
16
districts were considerably on the increase, and of greatly Q
improved quality. Notwithstanding that the attendance 7. ,
of buyers was tolerably good, and that the weather was 50
favourable for slaughtering, the beef trade ruled very inac- V
tive, at a decline in the prices of Monday last of 2d per -
Sibs. The top figure for the best lots was 4s 8d per Sibs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we re-
ceived 2,400 Scots and short-horns • from other parts of
England, 700 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 240
horned and polled Scots.
The numbers of sheep were somewhat in excess of Mon-
day last. Even the primest Downs met a very slow in-
quiry, at late rates. All other breeds moved off heavily,
but we have no actual decline to notice in prices. The
general quality of the sheep was goods eans first-rate.
Calves, the supply of which wasold slowly at last
Monday's currency. The foreign calves have come to hand
in wretched condition.
The pork trade ruled dull, at last week's quotations.
