The show of foreign stook here to-day was moderate, and
sales progressed slowly, on rather easier terms. From our
own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up were
again rather limited, and in but middling condition. The
weather being very wet, the attendance of buyers was less
numerous, awl the demand for all kinds ruled somewhat
heavy, at a decline in the quotations realised on Monday
last of 2d per Blbs. The best Scots sold at 5s 6d per 81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire comprised 2,000 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses;
from other parts of England 450 various breeds, and from
Scotland 40 Scots and crosses.

The show of sheep was again very moderate. The best
Downs and half-breds were in fair request at full quota-
tions, but other kinds moved off slowly at barely late rates.
Lambs, the supply of which was tolerably good, were very
dull, and 4d to Gd per Blbs cheaper. The top figure was
Gs Gd.

We were fairly supplied with calves, which changed
hands steadily, at full quotations.
The pork trade was heavy, yet in most transactions prices
were supported.
