Our market to-day was seasonably well supplied with
foreign stock; but its general quality was very inferior.
Sales progressed heavily, on lower terms.
The supply of home•fed beasts was tolerably good, but
there was a great deficiency in the quality of all breeds.
The heaviness in the trade in the dead markets produced
great inactivity in the demand for all kinds of beasts, at a
decline in the quotations of 2d per Blbs. It must be under-
stood that the extreme value for Scots did not exceed
4s 6d per Blbs.

Fre.= Liuuelushire, Leicestershire, and Northampton..
shire we received 2,520 shorthorns ; from other parts of
England, 1,000 various breeds; and from Ireland, 200
oxen, &c.

Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was only
moderate, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy. Prime
Downs and hall'-breds supported last week's currency, but
in some bar.tances tha value of long wools had a drooping
tendene:y. The general quality of the sheep was inferior.
C'alves were in short supply, and steady request, at full
quotations.

We have to report much less activity in the demand for
pigs, the prices of which were with difilculty supported.
