At the northern outports 1,200 head have been landed
By sea, from Ireland, 40 Oxen have arrived here.
For the time of year our market to-day was well
supplied with home-fed Beasts as to number, but their
general quality was very inferior. As the attendance of
bo:h town and country buyers was on the increase, and
'he dead markets were well cleared of their late arri7als,
the Beef trade, especially fur the primest Scots, Devons,
and Bunts, was somewhat active, at an advance in the
quotations of Monday last of 2d per Blbs. The highest
figure for Beef was 4s 2d per Blbs. The show of Foreign
Beasts was good ; that of Sheep and Calves moderate.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
Aire, we received 1,900 short-horns; from the Eastern
Western, and Midland districts, 600 Herefords, runts,
Devons, Scots, Short-horns, &c.; and from other
parts of England, 500 of various breeds. The
remainder of the Bullock supply was derived
from abroad and the neighbourhood of London.
We had a full average supply of Sheep on offer; but the
number of prime Downs was limited. All breeds mc•ved
off steadily, at an improvement in value of 2d per 81bs.
The best Old Downs realised 4s to 4s 2d per Blbs with-
out difficulty. The supply of Calves was very.moderate;
most kinds of Veal sold somewhat freely, and Friday's
advance in the currencies was well supported. Prime
small Pigs were held at full rates of currency. Other-
wise the Pork trade was in a sluggish state.

Per tilbs. to sink the offal.

Since our last report the arrivals of country-kilted
meat up to these markets have been but moderate for
the time of year; but the supplies on offer slaughtered
in the metropolis have been good, though of middling
quality. On the whole the demand has ruled steady, and
prices have been well supported. About 1,000 carcases
of foreign meat killed in London have been disposed of.
Fronk Ile.mburgh 8 packages, Ostend 8 ditto, and Har-
lingen 1 basket of meat have formed the importations.
