SMITHrIELD.

The supply of Beasts in to-lay's market was very
moderate as to number, and deficient in quality. As
the weather was more favourable for slaughtering, and
the attendance of buyers on the increase, the Beef trade
ruled steady, and, in some instances, the quotations were
a shade higher than on Monday. Really prime Scots,
had they been on offer, would have readily produced 4s
per Blbs. There was an increase in the number of Sheep,
nevertheless, the Mutton trade was somewhat active, at
prices fully equal to those obtained on last market-day.
The primest Downs were firm, at 4s per 81bs. Prior to
the conclusion of business a good clearance had been
effected. We were very scantily supplied with Calves,
which moved off steadily, at a slight improvement in
value. Prime small Pigs were steady, at full prices;
otherwise the Pork trade was dull. Mulch Cows sold
heavily, at from 141 to 181 each, including their Soall calf.
