I To-day's market was rather scantily supplied with each
bind of foreign stock ; nevertheless, the demand for it
ruled heavy, and the prices of beasts and sheep had a
downward tendency.
For the time of year the receipts of home-fed beasts
'fresh up this morning were rather extensive, and we ob-
served a decided improvement in their general weight and
condition. Although the attendance of buyers was tole-
rably numerous, the demand for all kinds of beasts was
in a depressed state, at a decline in the prices of Monday
Jest of fully 2d per 81bs. In some instances the quota-
tions gave way 4d per 81bs without effecting a clearance.
The top figure for the best Scots was 4s 6d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,300 Scots and shorthorns ; from other parts of
England, (00 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 500
Scots, chiefly per railway.
We were seasonably well supplied with sheep. All
breeds met a very dull inquiry, at prices barely equal to
those obtained on this day se'nnight. The extreme figure
for the best old Downs was 5s per 81bs. The condition of
most breeds was by no means first-rate.
The few calves on offer changed hands freely, at a rise of
id per Ms., The best calves were worth 5s 8d per 81bs.
Pigs—the supply of which was very moderate—moved
,oft slowly, at barely stationary prices.
