large quantities of that article have been r( ,rained
for home consumption, and most of the e argots,

millers and others who attended this day's; market;
hence, we have to report a very inactive de.guand for s

About 3,200 head have arrived at Hull and the other
northern ports, in improved condition, but they its
r
sold at low prices. At Southampton 80 very stiP°l•-•
Oxcn have been landed from Spain; 29 were sold at he
above port to the local butchers, the remainder of 0;
cargo being on sale here this morning. With Milced
Beasts and Sheep, a large number of which were turn
~„4
out unsold on Friday last, we were extensively supP"'''
to-day, and the demand for them was excessively heavy least
at a fall in the quotations of quite 4d per 81bs. At f
a third of them were not disposed of prior to the close
business. The general quality of the foreign Sheep and
Calves was somewhat improved, but that of the Bee's'
and Lambs was by no means first rate. In addition to
the importations noticed above, several cargoes of Beasts,
Sheep, and Calves were reported to-day from Rottertla'
Even the time of year considered, the supply of home'
fed Beasts fresh up by .‘ drift" and " railway" convey-
ance was large, but there was nothing remarkable
amongst it for excellence of quality; indeed the Beasts
generally were light weighers. The very primest Scots
were unusually dull in sale, notwithstanding their num-
ber was very small, arid the prices suffered a decline of
2,1 per 81bs. However, in some few transactions, 45 per
Sibs was realised for them by the salesmen. The lead-
cl,ing and inferior breeds, including the best short-hornet
Herefords, runts, and Doyens, were dull in the extreme,
at a fall in value of from 2d to 4d per 81bs., compared
with that obtained on this day se'nnight. Without ex-
ception, this was the dullest market for Beef we almost
ever remember. The numbers, it will be perceived, eeli'
siderably exceeded the wants of the butchers, whole at-
tendance was small, as most of them had previously sup'
plied themselves at Newgate and Leadenhall, where prices
have ruled very low. From the northern grazing kis-
tricts we received about 1,300 short-horns; from tae
eastern, western, and midland counties, 1,400 short-
horns, Devons, runts, Scots, &c.; from other pots
England, 750 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 40
Scots. The remainder of the bullock supply was de,
rive from abroad and the neighbourhood of the metal:
polis. The numbers of Sheep were about equal to those
exhibited on Monday last, which comprised a fair average
a
supply. We have to report a very dull sale for s
breeds of Sheep, and the prices of all descriptions, if we

except those of the best old Downs, which ruled from
4s 8d to 5s per 81b, suffered a fall of quite 2d, in some
cases 4d per 81b. Some hundreds were driven awl?:
unsold. In Lambs next to nothing was doing•

We were seasonably well supplied with Calves, both
English and foreign, while the Veal trade was extremely
dull, at 2d to 4d per 81b less money than on 1"1:14g
