The show of foreign stock, to -day, was very moderate.
Of Irish beasts there wore shown 220, mid of Irish sheep
400 head in fair condition.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
were en the decrease, but their general quality was toler-
ably prime. All breeds were ia good request, at an ad-
vance in the quotations realised on Monttiy last of from
2d to 4d per 8 Ibs, and a good clearance was effected.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Sussex, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire were 1,950 Soote and short horns; from other
parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; and from Scot-
land, 300 Sects.
There was a fair average supply of sheep in the market,
both as to the member and quality. Nearly all breeds
moved off steadily, at an improvement in the currencies
paid on this day se'nnight. of 2d per 81bs. The hest old
Downs sold at 5s per bibs. Abs at 9.10 shorn sheep were
in the pons.
With calves we were very scantily supplied, nevertheless
the veal trade was in a very sluggish state, and prices were
the turn in favour of bnyers.
The sale for pigs was steady., at, full quotations.
