Although partial failures of the turnip crop are com-
plained of in scree districts, the supply of food for winter
Ise is unquestionably large. From most quarters our ac.
counts respecting the health of the stock, both boasts and
sheep, are favourable.

There was rather a large supply of foreign stock in to
day's market.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were rather extensive as to number,
but their general quality was inferior. For all breeds we
had a very dull trade, at a decline in the quotations, com-
pared with Monday last, of from 2d to in some instances
4d per 81bs. The extreme value of the best Scots was 4s
8d per 81bs.

The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nor'
thamptonshire amounted to 2,600 short-horns, from other
parts of England 403 of various breeds, from Ireland 1,000
oxen, and from Scotland 100 Scots.

There was a considerable falling off in the supplies of
nearly all breeds of sheep, the condition of which was bat
middling, and the mutton trade ruled steady at an improve.
went in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. The best old Downs
realised 5s 2d per Sibs.

We had an increased supply of calves in the market.
Although the veal trade was steady, Friday's improvement
in value was not supported; nevertheless the quotations
were 2d per 81bs higher than on this day se'nnight. Top
price 53 2d per 81bs.

There was a moderate inquiry for pigs, at last week's
