There was a ♦ery poor show of foreign stock in to-day's
market, both as to number and quality. The number of
Irish beasts on sale, aua Lirorpool, WAS 200 of Irish sheep,
300 in excellent condition.

Froze our own grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were but moderate ; nevertheless,
owing to the state of the weather, the beef trade ruled
heavy, at a decline in the prices realised on Monday last
of 2d per 81bs. The top figure was 4s 10d per 8 lbs.
The supply of beasts from the north amounted to 900
short horns ; from the eastern district, 1,100 Soots, &c. ;
from other parts of England, 350 of various breeds, and
Scotland, 300 Scots. _ _ _

We were but moderately supplied with sheep. The few
prime breeds in the market sold at full quotations—the
best Downs being worth 55 per 8 lbs. but inferior sheep
moved off slowly, at barely late rates.
A very limited supply of calves was on show, and the
veal trade was active at ♦ery full prices. The best veal
was worth Gs per 8 lbs.

Pigs were in fair average supply and moderate request
on former terms.
