At least two-thirds of the above have passed direct into
the bands of the butchers. Aboat 300 head of foreign stock
have been landed at the outports from Holland. The number
of foreign stock on offer to-day was small, viz. :-64 Oxen
and Cows, and 220 Sheep, in fair average condition, while the
sale was inactive, and prices were not supported. With
home fed Beasts we were seasonably well supplied, both as
respects number and quality; indeed, we have not seen a
finer collection of short horns, Devons and Scots, than was
exhibited this morning.. Owing to the change in the
weather, and the absence of the principal country buyers,
the Beef trade was exceedingly dull, at a decline in
the quotations obtained on Monday last of quite 2d per Sibs.
The extreme figure for the best Scots, and which was paid
in very few instances, was 4s 4d per Bibs., and a clearance
was not effected. The droves from Norfolk, Sufolk, Essex,
and Cambridgeshire consisted of 1,100 Short horns and
Scots, from the Northern Counties, 800 Short horns—from
the western and midland districts, 600 llerefords, Runts,
Devons, &c., from other parts of England, 400 of various
breeds; and from Scotland, 120 horned and polled Scots.
With Sheep, we were very scantily supplied, and the quality
of that description of stock was by no means first rate. All
kinds moved off slowly, and last week's prices were with
difficulty supported. The number of Calves was small ; yet
the Veal trade was in a very sluggish state, at an abate-
ment in value of 2d per 81bs. In Pigs, comparatively little
business was transacted, at late rates.

NEMTGA.TE AND LZIADENHALT...

Although the weather during the whole of the week has
been cold, the receipts of country-killed Meat to these mar-
kets have been by no means large, while the supplies on offer
slaughtered in the metropolis have been but moderate.
Generally speaking the demand has ruled firm, and, in some
instances the quotations have had an upward tendency.
About 40 carcases of foreign Beef and 200 ditto of Sheep
have appeared on sale.
