Owing to th e non-arrival of several steamers, the show
of foreign stock here to-day was only moderate ; neverthe-
less the demand for all breeds ruled inactive, on former
terms.

Fresh up from our own grazing districts the receipts of
beasts were not to say extensive, and the quality of most
breeds was inferior. The few fine Scots, &c., on offer were
disposed of at an improvement in value of 2d per 81bs.
Otherwise the beef trade was dull, on former terms.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,400 short-horns ; from other parts of
England 800 various breeds, and from Ireland 200 oxen and
heifers. There were no supplies from Scotland.
With sheep we were but moderately supplied. Prime
Downs and half-breds moved off steadily, and in some in-
stances the currencies had an upward tendency, the best
Downs having realised quite 5s 4d per 81bs, but inferior
breeds were a slow inquiry, on former terms.

Calves, though in short supply, changed hands slowly,
at last week's quotations. The best veal sold at 5s
per 81bs.

Pigs moved off freely, and the best porkers commanded.
rather more money.
