There was a very poor show of foreign stack in to-day's
market. The supply of Irish stock was only 68 beasts and
120 pigs, via Liverpool.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were considerably on the decrease,
and mostly of very middling quality. For all breeds we
had a brisk demand, at an advance in the quotations
realized on Monday last of from 2d to 41 per 81b, and a
clearance was effected. The best Scots sold readily a t
41 103 per Sibs.
The arrivals of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex,
and Cambridgeshire were 1,800 Scots and short horns ;
from other parts of England 300 of various breads ; and
from Scotland 30J horned and polled Scots.

With sheep we were very moderately supplied, and their
condition was by no means first rate. The mutton trade
was rather active at fully 2d per Bibs above the currencies
realized on this day se'nnight. The best old Downs, in
the wool, changed hands at 5s 2d, out of the wool 4s 6d
per 81bs.
There were very few lambs on sale, yet the inquiry for
all breeds was heavy at 4d to 6,1 per Blbs beneath Friday's
currency. Very few lambs made more than Ti 61 per
Sibs.

The supply of calTes was short, and the real trade ruled
steady, at full quotations. The top figure was 6s per Sibs.
Pigs were in moderate supply, and sluggish zequest, at
barely stationary. prices.
The market will be held on Friday next as usual.
Per Sibs to sink the offals.
