There was rather a large show of foreign stock here to-
day, and sales progressed slowly, on lower terms.
The receipts of beasts fresh up from our grazing districts
were very moderate, and, for the most part, in middling con-
dition. The few prime Scots, &c., on offer sold readily, at an
advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of quite
4d per 81bs. Inferior beasts were less active ; nevertheless,
prices had an upward tendency.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,220 Scots, short-horns, and crosses ; from other
parts of England, 450 various beasts ; and, from Scotland
9 Scots. No stock came to hand from Ireland.

The supply of sheep was seasonably good as to number,
but very deficient in quality. The mutton trade was in a
very depressed state, at a fall in value, compared with this
day se'nnight, of from 6d to 8d per Sibs. The top quota-
tion for the best Downs was 58 6d per Sibs.
We have to report a very dull sale for lambs—the show
of which was rather extensive—at from 6d to Sd per 81bs
decline.

There was only a limited inquiry for calves, at further
depressed rates. The top price was 5s 4d per Sibs.
In pigs, on'y a moderate business was doing, at late
currencies.
