Our advices from most parts of the conntfy state that
the health of the stook continues good, and that the sup-
ply of food is very extensive.
Of late only limited purchases of beasts and sheep have
been effected in the Dutch markets on French account.
There was a moderate f sow of foreign stock in to-day's
market, but its quality was by no means first-rate.
The arrivals of home-fed beasts were seasonably good as
to number. Their general condition, however, was in.
fake.. For the few prime breeds on offer there was an
improved demand, and in some instances prices were the
turn higher than on Monday last. Middling and inferior
beasts moved off slowly, at the lata decline in value.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestsrshi:e, and Northampton.
shire we received about 2,200 short horns; from other
parts of England 300 of various breeds; and from Ireland
40) oxen. No suppl'es retlhed us from Scotland.
Notwithstanding that there was a considerable falling
off in the arrivals of sheep, the mutton trade ruled heavy,
at last Monday's fr!l in the quotations. Most breeds came
to hand in poor condition, and the top figure for Downs
was 5s per 81bs. There were 300 Irish sheep on offer.
We were scantily supplied with calves, yet the veal trade
ruled heavy at Friday's currency. The best calves sold at
4s 6d per 81bs.
The show of pigs was tolerably good, and, as prices were
high, the butchers purchasci very sparingly, at late rates,
