A very limited supply of foreign stock was on sale in
poor condition. The show of Irish stock, via Liverpool,
amounted to 180 beasts, 350 sheep, and 55 pigs, the whole
iu good condition. . ..

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts were but moderate, and their general quality was by
no means first-rate. For all breeds the demand was in a
sluggish state, at last Monday's decline in the quotations.
The highest figure was 43. 10d. per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Sufolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,300 Scots and short horns ; from the northern
and other grazing districts, 800 of ♦arious breeds ; and,
from Scotland, 380 Scots. _ . _

With sheep we were tolerably well, but not extensively,
supplied. Owing to the large quantities of mutton on
sale in Newgate and Leadenhall, all breeds of sheep met a
♦ery dull trade, at a decline in price of from 2d. to 4d. per
The extreme value of old Downs was 4s. Bd. per 81bs.

The supply of calves was limited; nevertheless, the veal
trade was heavy, at Friday's decline in the quotations.
The best calves sold at ss. Bd. per Slbs.
Pigs were in fair average supply and moderate request,
at last week's currency.
