There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer
here to-day. Sales progressed slowly, and prices had a
drooping tendency.
The general show of beasts was on the increase, and we
observed a slight improvement in the condition of the stock.
Prime Scots, crosses, &c., were in fair request at full prices.
Otherwise the beef trade ruled heavy at 2d per lb less
money.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,000 Scots, crosses, &c. ; from the north and other
parts of England, 800 various breeds ; from Scotland, 11
Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 33 oxen, &c.
There was a considerable increase in the supply of sheep.
Downs and half-breds wero in moderate request at previous
rates. All other breeds were dull, and quite 2d per 81b
lower than on this day se'nnight.
We have to report a slow inquiry for lambs at from 5s 8d
to 6s 8d per 81b, being lower rates.
Calves were in moderate supply and fair request at full
prices.
There was very little business doing in pigs on former
terms.
