Very favourable accounts have been received on the sub-
ject of the turnip crop in nearly all parts of the United
Kingdom.

From Holstein we learn that a large portion of the cattle
in that country has become info cted with disEnse.
There was a full average supply of foreign stock in to-
day's market. Amongst it were 70 oxen from Oporto.
From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts
fresh up to-day were considerably on the increase, and in
somewhat improved condition. For all breeds we had,
consequently, a heavy demand, at a decline in the curren-
cies realised on Monday last of 2d per 81131. The top figure
for the best Scots was 4s 8d per 81bs.
The recebts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire, amounted to 2,300 short horns ; from
other parts of England, 700 of various breeds ; from Ire-
land, 370 oxen ; and from Scotland, 50 Scots.
The show of sheep was moderately good. On the whole,
the mutton trade ruled steady, at prices equal to those
realised onthis day se 'nnight. The best old Downs realised
51 2d per Sibs.
The lamb trade is now drawing to a close, and lambs
were mostly sold at about mutton prices.
Calves—the supply of which was moderate—sold ►lowly,
and prices gave way 2d per 81bs.
There was a slight improvement in the pock trade, at
full quotations.
