There was a full averago supply of foreign stock in to-
day's market, and the trade ruled heavy, on rather easier
terms.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
were moderately extensive as to number, but deficient in
quality. All breeds met a dull sale, at a decline in the
quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81bs.
The top figure for the best Scots was 5s 2d per 81bs.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire, amounted to 2,500 short horns, crosses,
&c. ; from ether parts of England, 600 various breeds;
and from Ireland, 476 oxen, &c.
The show of sheep was rather extensive. Prime Downs
and half-breds were in fair request, at full prices ; other .
wise the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, and in some
instances the quotations had a drooping tendency.
Lambs were in good supply and heavy request, at 2d
per 81bs less money. About 350 head reached us from
Ireland.

There was a good sale for calves, the supply of which
was very moderate, at 2d to 4d per Blbs more money.
The pork trade was steady, at extreme rates.
