The supply of foreign stock here to-day was very limited,
and in peer condition.

From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
put up this morning were unusually small, and the quality
of most breeds was not to say first-rate. The beef trade
was decidedly brisk, at an advance in the quotations real-
ised on Monday last of 4d per 81bs. The beat Soots were
worth fully 4s 10d per 81bs.

The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire
were 1,800 Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of
England 400 of various kinds; and from Scotland 300
Scots.

We wore rather scantily supplied with most kinds of
sheep, in but middling condition. The mutton trade ruled
brisk, and the quotations improved 4d. per 81be. The
best old Downs were worth 55 per Sibs.
There was less activity in the veal trade than on Friday,
yet prices were supported. The, primest veal realised 6s
per 81be.

Pigs were in moderato supply and fair request at ful
prices.

The supply of Irish stock in the market was very limited
viz.-42 sheep and 12 beasts.
