There was only a moderate show of foreign stock here
to-day, and the demand for it was inactive, at last week's
prices.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were by no
means extensive, but we observed an improvement in their
general condition. All prime breeds moved off freely, at
fully last Monday's currency ; but inferior beasts wore e
slow inquiry, on former terms. A few very inferior Soots,
crosses, &c , made rather over 5s per 81bs, which, however,
was the general top figure.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we recived 2,400 Shorthorns; from other parts of
England, 800 various breeds ; from Scotland, 7C Scots and
cro.ses ; and from Ireland, 400 oxen, &c.
We were but moderately supplied with sheep, the general
condition of which was inferior. Prime Downs and half-
breds moved off steadily, at very full prices, the extreme
value of the former being 5s 8d per Blbs ; otherwise the
mutton trade was in a slaggish state, on former terms.
Calves, the supply of which was rather limited, moved
off slowly, at Thursday's decline in value of from 2,d to 4d
per Sibs.

There was a slow sale for pigs, at late currencies.
The great Christmas market will be held here on Mon-
day next.

It will be recollected that the great Christmas market
was held here at the corresponding date last year, hence
arises the great difference in the supplies exhibited.
