There was only a moderate show of foreign stock in to-
day's market, and its quality was by no moans first-rate.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts, as well as from Ireland and Scotland, were very
moderate, compared with Monday last. The attendance
of butchers was large, and the beef trade was very brisk,
at an advance in the quotations, compared with this day
se'nnight, of 6d per 81bs. The best Scots readily pro-
duced 5s per 81bs, and the whole of the supply was speedily
disposed of. The quality of the stock was good.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,960 Scots and short horns ; from other parts of
England 300 of various breeds ; from Scotland 294 Scots;
and from Ireland 18 oxen, via Liverpool.
We were very moderately supplied with sheep, both as
to number and quality. The mutton trade was excited,
and the quotations generally were fully 8d per Sibs higher
than on Monday last. The best Downs, in the wool, rea-
lised 6s 2d—out of the wool, 5s 8d per 81bs. The whole
of the supply changed hands.
Lambs, the supply of which was but moderate, sold
steadily at full quotations, viz., 5s 2d to 6s 2d per 81bs.
We had a steady demand for calves, which came slowly
to hand, at full prices, viz., 4s to 5s 4d per 81bs.
There was a slight improvement in the demand for pigs,
at full prices. About IA Irish pigs were in the market.
