METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The show of beasts in to-day's market was by no means
extensive, yet the demand for all kinds ruled rather heavy,
at a decline in the quotations realised en Monday of 2d

sheep, the mutton trade was very inactive, and prices gave
way 2d per Ms. Lambs are now out of season. There
was a full average number of calves on offer, and the veal
trade ruled heavy at 2il per Blbs less money. Pigs were
steady at late rates.

Blilch cows moved off slowly at from 14/ to 191 each, in
eluding their small calf.
