The arrivals of stock last week were the largest received
in any previous week during the present year. Thera ap-
pears to have been a falling off both in Holland and Spain
on French account. and it is probable that our importa-
tions will be tolerably good next month.
There was a fair average supply of foreign stock in to-
day's market, in but middling condition.
The receipts of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were moderate in number, but rather deficient in
quality. The primest breeds sold somewhat briskly, at an
advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of 2d
per 81bs.' the best Scots being worth 5s 2d per Sibs.; other-
wise the beef trade was less active, on former terms. How-
ever, nearly the whole of the supply changed hands.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, &c., we received
1,600 short horns; from other parts of England 900 Scots,
&c.;, from Ireland 150 oxen; and from Scotland 100 Scots.
We were well supplied with sheep, but there was a
great deficiency of prime stock amongst them. Most breeds
met a very slow trade, at prices barely equal to those rea-
lised on this day se'nnight. The extreme value of the best
Downs was 5s 4d per tilbs. About 2,000 sheep came to
hand from Ireland,

Lambs were in moderate supply and fair request, at last
week's currency. The top price was 5s 8d per 81bs.
The show of calves was extensive, and the veal trade
ruled heavy at a decline in value of 2d per .81bs.
Pigs moved off slowly, but no change took place in the
quotations.
