The supply of foreign stock on sale in to-day's market
'was very moderate, and in but middling condition. On
the whole the demand for it ruled steady, at full prices.
There was a slight Increase in the receipts of beasts fresh
up this morning from our own grazing districts ; whilst in
ieir general weight and condition a decided improvement
rwas noticed. Although the attendance of buyers was
rather numerous, the demand for all breeds of beasts was
less active than on Monday last, and in most instances
prices gave way 2d per 81bs. The general top figure for
13cots was 4s 6d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 2,100 Scots and short-horns; from other parts of
England, 600 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 300
homed and polled Scots.
Notwithstanding that there was an increased number of
'sheep in the market, the mutton trade was firm, and in
some instances the quotations advanced 2d per 81bs. The
•ddemand principally ran upon clipped sheep, which sold at
about 8d per 81bs under those in the wool. The primest
gold Downs realised from 5s to 5s 2d per 81bs, the latter
-being rather an extreme figure.
Lambs were in moderate supply, and brisk demand, at
Ss 4d to 7s per 81bs.
The sale for calves ruled steady, at very full prices. The
eoupply was limited. The highest figure was 5s 8d per 81bs.
' We had a strong inquiry for pigs, in the value of which
'no change took place.
