The show of foreign stock to-day was very moderate.
With home-fed be -sets we were scantily supplied ; never-
theless, as the attendance of butchers was limited, the beef
trade was in a sluggish state, at about stationary prices.
The numbers of sheep were small. On the whole, most
breeds were in fair request, and last Monday's currencies
were supported.
Very few calves were on offer, and they mostly changed
hands on former terms.
Pigs were very dull in sale, at the late decline..
