Tery limited supplies of foreign stock, mostly in poor
condition, were on sale to-day, and they changed hands
readily at high quotations. The receipts of beasts fresh up
from our own grazing districts were very moderate as to
number, but their general quality was prime. The at-
tendance of buyers was large, and the beef trade rifled
brisk, at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday
last of 2d per Sibs. The best Scots sold at 4s 8d to 4s 10(1
par 81bs., and a clearance was readily effected.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, EMS, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,900 Scots and short horns ; from other parts of
England, 300 of various breeds; from Scotland 360 Soots,
and from Ireland, 120 oxen.
The show of sheep was again very limited, but in fair
condition. For all breeds we had a brisk demand, at 4d
per Sibs above the rates obtained on this day aa'anight.
The best old Downs in the wool realised 5s 81; out of
wool, 5s 2tl per 81bs.
Lambs—the supply of which was very moderate—sold
slowly, at barely last Monday's currency. The top price
was 7s 2d per 81135.. From the Isle of Wight, about 600
head came fresh to hand.

We were but moderately supplie4 with calves, which
moved off slowly, on former terms.

The pork trade was heavy. In prices no change took
place.
