To-day's market was seasonably well supplied with
foreign stock, in, for the most part, middling condition.
Sales progressrd heavily on lower terms.
The arrivals of home-fed beasts fresh up was less nume-
rous than on this day se'nnight, and their general condition
was by no means first-rate. The best Scots and crosses
were in moderate request at last week's currency, but all
other breeds were very dull, and in most instances 2d per
81bs. lower.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,400 short-horns ; from other parts of
England 900 variousbreeds, and from Ireland 300 oxen and
heifers. There were no supplies from Scotland.
The show of sheep was moderately good. Generally
speaking, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state at prices
about equal to Monday last. The best old Downs sold at
from 5s to 5s 2d per Blbs. The condition of the sheep was
very middling.
Although the supply of both English and foreign calves
was limited, the veal trade was in a very inactive state at
last week's prices.

Prime small porkers were firm, otherwise the pork trade
ruled heavy at late rates.
