morning were very extensive, and is first-rate ucpontdil
tion; indeed, we have seldom witnessed a better collec-
tion of stock than to-day. Although the dead markets
were by no means largely supplied, and the attendance
of buyers was good, the Beef trade was in a very de-
pressed state, at a decline in the quotations paid on
Monday last of from 2d to, in some instances, 4d per
81bs. The general top figures for Beef ruled from 41 to
4s 2d per 81bs; but a few of the primest Scots realised
4s 4d. The arrivals of Beasts from the eastern counties
comprised nearly 1,600 Scots and short horns, with a
few home breds. From the western and midland dis-
tricts we received nearly 1,000 Herefords, runts, Devons,
&c. ; from other parts of England 500 of various breeds;
and from Scotland 300 horned and polled Scots. For
the time of year, the supply of Sheep was again small,
bat of excellent quality. All breeds of Sheep commanded
a ready sale, at a rise on last week's currencies of 2d
per Blbs, prime old Downs in the wool producing 5s Bd.
The numbers of Lambs were again moderate, while the
demand for them ruled steady at 2d per 81bs more
money. From the Isle of Wight, 70 head came to hand.
Calves were in good supply and sluggish request, at lett
week's prices. In Pigs very little bustness was trans-
acted, yet their quotations were mostly supported.

last week were again very moderate, viz., about 140
carcases of Beef, 200 ditto of Mutton, 180 ditto of Lamb,
150 ditto of Veal, and 320 ditto of Pork. The supplies
on offer slaughtered in the metropolis have been good,
