Advices from Spain and Portugal state that the value
of all kinds of food has considerably advanced in those
countries ; consequently, that very few shipments of stock
%sill be made to England during the remainder of the year.
The exports from Holland are rather on the increase.

To-day's market was fairly supplied with foreign stock,
the condition of which was by no means prime.
There was an increase in the receipts of home-fed beasts
as to number, and the condition of most breeds exhibited
an improvement, compared with Monday last. The beef
trade was rather dull, and prices were 21 per Sibs lower
than on this day week. The highest figure for the best
Scots was 4s 10d per Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicester-
shire, and Northamptonshire we receivecl2,4oo shori;-horns;
from other parts of England 403 of various breeds ; from
Scotland 50 Scots ; and from Ireland 240 oxen.
We were tolerably well, but not to say extensively, sup-
plied with sheep, most breeds of which came to hand in
middling condition. The mutton trade was steady, at
prices equal to those realised on this day sennight.
The show of lambs was moderate. On the whole, the
trade ruled firm, at full quotations.
Calves, the supply of which was rather limited, moved
off steadily, at last week's currency. The top price was
ls 10d per Sibs.
