London, England, 1860-08-20 00:00:00

From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning was moderately good as to number,
but very deficient in quality. The demand for all kinds
ruled very inactive at a decline in the quotations, compared
with Monday last, of 2d per 81b. The best Scots sold at
5s 4d per 81b.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire, amounted to 2,350 short horns, crosses,
&c.; from other parts of England, 400 various breeds;
from Scotland, 5 Scots ; and from Ireland, 360 oxen &c.
Compared with this day sennight, there was a full
average supply of sheep in the pens. The mutton trade
was rather inactive, and in some instances inferior breeds
were the turn lower.

Lambs were in good supply, ant moderate request at
about stationary prices. About 250 reached us from
Ireland.

We have to report a slow sale for calves at 2d per Sib
beneath the currencies of Monday last.

Pigs were a dull inquiry, but not cheaper. The supply
was moderate.
