THE CHRISTMAS CATTLE MARKET.

Teis was the great market day of the year, when
the pick of the flocks and herds are collected to meet
the requirements for Christmas consumption, and
the annual gathering exhibited this morning was, in
point of quality, extremely good. There had been
bigger markets as to the agregate weight of meat
but for the excellent condition and quality of the
stock, the prevailing opinion was that this day's
show could hardly be surpassed. One very strik-
ing feature was the wonderfully fine show of French
beasts, surpassing anything we have ever seen
among the foreign classes. Of these splendid cattle
there were some two hundred and forty-five on the
stand of Mr. Marcus Pool, and 120 more on Mr.
J. Gibblett's stand, giving a total of 350 head of
most evenly-selected cattle, averaging from 130 to
170 stones of superior meat each, and an indifferent
one was not to be found in the selection. In the
French stock the improvement that has been made
is very conspicuous, and the character as well as
the colour of the English shorthorns and Scots were
very distinguishable in this morning's collection ;
the Dutch beasts were also a good useful selection,
and, considering the importance of our foreign
supplies in providing for the requirements of con-
sumption, these are features that cannot be too
highly commended. Whilst the foreign stock had
thus excelled all previous great markets, the English
and Scottish breeds fully maintained their former
prestige for the superiority of quality, excellence
of symmetry, and early growth. Among these
Scotland was very strongly represented. In number
there were over 1,300 head, chiefly Aberdeen
polled breeds, among which was a large proportion
of extremely fine animla of great weight and exqui-
site touch. Among the pure breeds, the Devons
appeared to be most in force. The shorthorns also
made a good show maintaining their position, also
for the weight of meat which they carry. Welsh
cattle were not in great force, but still the Here.
fords put in a good appearance. The Irish steck
showed an improvement, and altogether the show
of beasts was satisfactory, and contrasted very
favourably with last, year, The Christmas trade
for beef appeared rather quiet, the weather being
against the demand. Choice descrriptions realised
prices, running up to ss. Bd. to ss. 10d.
