We were but moderately supplied with foreign stock,
both as to number and quality. There was a slight increase
in the arrivals of home-fed beasts compared with Monday
last, yet the supply of that description of stock was by no
means large. For most breeds we experienced a slow
trade, at last Monday's currency, the advance in the quo-
tations on Friday of 2d per Slbs being lost. The best
Scots sold at from 4s 10d to 5s per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,200 scots and home-breds; from other parts of
England, including Lincolnshire, 1,000 Scots, shorthorns,
&c. ; from Scotland, 300 Scots; and from Ireland, 65 oxen,
Although we were fairly supplied' with most breeds of
sheep, the mutton trade ruled steady, at Friday's improve-
ment in value of 2d pet Sibs. The best old Downs realised
5s 8d per 81bs. About 1,200 sheep and lambs came to
hand from Ireland in fair condition.

The show of lambs was tolerably good, and most breeds
were in request, at Friday's improvement in value. Prices
ranged from 5s to 63 per 81bs.
We wore fairly supplied with calves, which moved off
steadily at from 3s 101 to 5s 2d per Blbs, being 4d per 81bs
above last Monday's currency.
Pigs were in moderate supply and fair request, at full
prices.
