SIVIITELPIELD.
The supply of Beasts on sale here to-day being large, the
time of year considered, and the attendance of buyers small,
the Beef trade was in a sluggish state at barely, but at
nothing quotable beneath, Monday's prices. There were on
offer 398 Oxen and Cows, and 35 Calves from abroad. With
Sheep we were fairly supplied. The primest old downs were
in steady request, at full currencies; but all other kinds were
a slow inquiry, at barely late rates. Lambs, the supply of
which was good, sold readily, at an improvement in value of
2d per 81bs, and a good clearance was effected. Calves
moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. The same
may be said of Pigs. Milci Cows were selling at from
161 to 191 5s each, including their small Calf.
Suckling Calves, 183 to 30s; and quarter-old Store Pigs, 16s
to 21s each. Beasts, 1,158; Cows, 159; Sheep and Lambs,
7,800 ; Calves, 227 ; Pigs, 380.
NEWTGATE AND LEIADENEIALL.
We had a fair trade here at full prices.
BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
Although the supply of Hops on offer is, comparatively
speaking, small, the demand is by no means active, yet in
most transactions previous rates are well supported.
