was realised in some cases; and the value of all other
breeds] had an upward tendency. From the north, we
reeeived about 1,600 short horns ; from the eastern,
western, and midland counties, 1,800 ; Herefords, runts,
Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England, 700 of vari-
ous breeds; and, from Scotland, 250 horned and polled
Scots. With Sheep, we were scantily supplied for the
time of year, owing to which the Mutton trade was firm,
at an improvement in currencies obtained on this day
se'nnight of 2d per 81bs ; the primest old Downs selling
readily at 5s 4d per Blbs. The supply of Calves was
tolerably extensive, yet the Veal trade was steady at last
week's prices. In Pigs comparatively little business, but
late rates were well supported.
