The number of Foreign Beasts on offer this morning
were moderately extensive; those of Sheep and Calves
limited. The demand for all kinds was active, at im-
proved quotations. From our own grazing
.districts
the arrivals of Beasts fresh up to-day were limited, but
of excellent quality. Although the attendance of both
town and country buyers was small, the Beef trade ruled
brisk, at an advance in the quotations paid on Monday
last of from 4d to Gd per Blbs. A few of the best Scots
sold as high as 4s Bd, but the more general top figure
for Beef did not exceed 4s 6d per 81b. A good clearance
was effected. The droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex,
and Cambridgeshire, consisted of about 1,000 Scots and
Short IIorns; from the Northern, Western, and Midland
counties, 800 Herefords, Runts, Devons, and Irish beasts;
from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds; and
from Scotland, 210 horned and polled Scots. With
Sheep we were again scantily supplied. The Mutton
trade was very firm, at Friday's advanced rates of 2d per
81bs. The primest old Downs sold peadily at 5s 6d per
81bs. From the Isle of Wight there were received 85
Sheep and 160 Lambs. The Lamb trade was again
steady, at from 6d to 7d per 81bs. Prime small Calves
sold freely; other qualities of Veal slowly, at last week's
prices. The Pork trade was somewhat inactive, at late
rates.

The arrivals of slaughtered Meat from Scotland and
various parts of England, since Monday last, have been
moderately good, they having consisted of about 140
carcasses of Beef; 240 ditto of Mutton, 90 ditto of Lamb,
180 ditto of Veal, and 300 ditto of Pork. The supply
of Mutton on offer killed in the metropolis has been
small, that of other kinds of Meat good. Generally
speaking, the trade has ruled somewhat active, and, in
some instances, the quotations have had an upward
tendency. A few baskets of Meat have arrived from
Liamburgh.
