The supply of Beasts on sale in to-day's market was
somewhat on the increase, compared with that exhibited
on Friday last. Still, however, owing chiefly to the
favourable state of the weather for slaughtering, the
beef trade was tolerably steady, and, in some few in-
stances, a trifle more money was obtained for second-
rate stock ; yet a total clearance was not effected. The
numbers of Sheep were seasonably good, and of lull
average quality. All breeds commanded a steady,
though not to say brisk, inquiry, at the extreme rates of
Monday, the primest old Downs, in the wool, producing
48 6d to 4a 8d per 8113 s. Calves were in fair supply, and
moderate demand, at full prices. In pigs, very few
transactions took place, at last week's currencies. Much
Cows ruled dull, at from 141 to 181 each. including their
