There was a moderate supply of foreign stock on offer in
to-day's market, but its general quality was inferior, and
in most instances prices had a downward tendency.
Compared with Monday last there was a decided increase
in the arrivals of home-fed beasts fresh up this morning.
Their quality, however, was for the most part very indiffe-
rent. Nearly all breeds were very dull, at a decline in the
quotations realised on this day se'nnight of 2d per 81ba
A few very inferior Scots realised ss, but the general top
figure for beef was 4s 10d per Sibs.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 2,400 short-horns ; from other parts of
England, 900 various breeis ; from Scotland, 16 Scots ;
and from Ireland, 400 oxen, &c.

The supply of most breeds of sheep was on the increase.
There was much less activity in the demand for all breeds,
at quite 2d per Blbs less money. The general top price
for Downs was 5s 4d per Sibs. We regret to state that
many of the sheep exhibited signs of rot.

We were rather scantily supplied with calves, for which
the inquiry was far from inactive at Thursday's decline in
value. The highest quotation was 5s per 81bs.
Prime small pigs moved off steadily at full currencies,
otherwise the pork trade was heavy.
