supported. From Scotland, we received :00 beasts and /SO
sheep; from Prostia, 34 oxen; from Germany, 20 ditto;
and from Holland, 125 oxen and cows, together with 50
sheep, in comparatively speaking, mit:dling condition.

mutton trade was firm at full prices. From the Isle: of
Wight, 250 Lambs came fresh to hand per railway; while
from other quarters the receipts were liberal. On the whole,
the demand waG firm, at extreme currencies. Calves were
in moderate supply, and heavy demand, at late rates. In
pigs very little was doing, yet previous quotations were
maintained. Milch cows moved off slowly, at from 151_ to
181. each, including their small cab. Sucking calves 183.. to
295.; and quarter old store pigs 16s. to 18s. each. Beet ts,
