METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
Although the supply of beasts in to•day's market wag
limited, the demand for all breeds ruled heavy, at a decline
in the quotations realised on Monday of 4d. per Sibs. We
had a small show of sheep, yet the mutton trade was very
dull, and prices gave way 2d. per 81bs. In lambs, the
supply of which was moderate, very little was doing, at
barely statiocary prices. We were well supplied with
calves, which moved off slowly, at barely late rates. In
pigs scarcely any business was doing.
Milch cows moved off slowly at from W. to 19/. each, in-
cluding their small calf.

Per 81bs to sink the orals.
