There was a full average number of foreign stock on offer
here to-day, but its general quality was inferior.

From our own grazing districts, the receipt of beasts
fresh up this morning was very moderate, and we observed
a great deficiency in their general weight. For prime
Scots, &c., the demand ruled steady at an advance in the
quotations realised on Monday last of 2d. per 8 lbs. Most
other kinds sold somewhat slowly, but at full prices.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received about 2,000 short horns and crosses;
from other parts of England, 600 various kinds ; and from
Ireland, 220 oxen.

The supply of sheep being on the decrease, compared
with Monday last, the mutton trade was somewhat active,
and, in most instances, prices advanced 2d. per 8 lbs. The
best Downs commanded fully ss. Bd. per 8 lbs.
There was a slightly improved sale for lambs, the value
of which had an upward tendency ; about 500 reached us
from Ireland.

Calves—the supply of which was moderate—changed
hands steadily at full quotations.

The pork trade was steady at last week's currency.
