and 27 Calves, from Rotterdam, in, for, t'he most parts, ex'
cellent condition. At Hnll, about 190 head of stock have
been landed from Holland ; while at Plymouth the imports
have been 40 Oxen from Spain, and which were sold in that
locality at Si. each. We had on offer about 250 foreign
Oxen and Cows, 700 Sheep, 80 Lambs, and 6 Calves,
which met a very dull inquiry, at barely stationary prices.
For the time of year, the supply of Beasts here from our
own grazing districts was good, and of unusually priV,
quality. The attendance of buyers being small, the Beef
trade was in a very sluggish state, at barely, but at nothing
quotable beneath, the currencies obtained on this day sen-
night. The primest Scots with difficulty realising 4s per
Blbs. From the northern counties we received 700 short-
horns; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge-
shire, 800 Scots, homebreds, and shorthorns ; from the
western and midland counties, 500 Herefords, runts, Pe'
vons, &c. ; from alter parts of England, 400 et.
rious kinds ; and from Scotland, eighty Scots. The
numbers of Sheep were again very extensive, and of fine
quality. On the whole, the Mutton trade was dull, at, ill
most transactions, a decline on last week's prices of 2d per
Blbs, the highest general figure for the best Old Downs not T 4
-
exceeding 4s 2d per 81bs. In Lambs, the supply of Whi
was larger, comparatively little was doing, at the late
dine in value. The Veal trade was steady, at late currencies.
For Pigs, the inquiry was very inactive, at about previous
quotations.
