There was a very poor show of foreign stock in to-day's
market, and its general quality was inferior.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were limited, but in fair average
condition. Wo had a brisk demand for all breeds, and
prices ruled 2d. to 41. per Sibs. higher than on this day
se'nnight. The best Scots readily produced 4s. 81. per
8113., and a good demand was effected.
The receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounte ; to 1,800 Scots and short-horns ;
from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds ; from
Scotland, 360 Scots ; and from Ireland, 56 oxen.
With most kinds of sheep, the quality of which was
tolerably good, we were scantily supplied, and the mut-
ton trade was active, at 4d. per Sibs. above the pricos
realised on Monday last. The beat old Downs in the wool
realised ss. 4d., out of the wool 4s. Sd., per Blbs.
The supply of lambs was small, and the lamb trade was
active, at 4d. per Blbs. above last week's quotations. The
top figure was 7s. 4d per 81bs. About 70 head came to
hand from the Isle of Wight. _ _ _

Calves, the supply of which was limited, sold steadily,
and, in some instances, prices were the turn in favour of
sellers. The highest price was ss. Bd. per Sibs.
We had a very dull trade for pigs, at barely last week's
quotations. The pork season is now over.
