NEWCASTLE, AUG. 21.—Our market to-day was firm
for wheat at last week's prices, but only a small amount
of business transacted. Barley nominally as before.
Oats met with good demand at previous rates. Beans,
peas, and other grain unaltered.
NEWCASTLE CATTLE MARKET, AUG. 21.—There is
an increase in the quantity of tat cattle as compared with
that of last week, and also an improvement in the qua-
lity. With sheep and lambs the supply is again large;
the former is tolerably good, while the latter is very
indifferent in point of quality, including several lots of
brockle-faced breed from the hilly districts. The supply
of beef comprises about 500 head of beasts; the better
qualities are maintaining former prices, and are all
mostly disposed of, but the middling and inferior sorts
are a slow sale at drooping rates, and part remains un-
sold. The number of sheep and lambs is 8,000. Owing
to the large supply sales are slowly effected, yet the
better descriptions are making fully as much money as
last week, but the middling sorts are ruling in favour of
,e buyer, and part remains on hand. Prices—Beasts,
to 6s 6d per stone of 141bs; sheep, 4d to sd; lambs,
51d per lb, sinking offal.
