On the whole, the supply of Beasts here to-day was
tolerably good, and of fair average quality; yet the demand
for all breeds was fair, and Monday's advanced rates were
steadily supported. There were in the market 78 Beasts,
100 Sheep, and 2 Calves from abroad. With Sheep we were
fairly supplied ; still, however, the Mutton trade was brisk,
at a further improvement in value of 4d per 81b.--the
finest Old Downs, in the wool,' selling at 6s per Blbs, and at
which a good clearance was effected. In Lambs—the supply
of which was good—only a moderate business we' citing, at

late rates. From the Isle of Wight, 320 bead came fresh to'
hand. Calves moved off briskly, at an advance in the quu-,
tations, of from 2d to 4d per 811;s; while Pigs had an upward
tendency, with a firm trade, Mitch Cows were in good r 6
quest, at from 161. to 20/. each, including their small calf. ,
