There was a fall average show of foreign stock in to-day's
market, and the trade ruled heavy at drooping currencies.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning from our
own grazing districts were on the increase when compared
with Monday last, but their general quality was only mid-
dling. Nearly all breeds met a dull inquiry, at, in most
transactions, a decline in the quotations of 2d per 8 lbs.
The general top figure for Scots was 4s 10d per 8 lbs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,480 short-horns ; from other parts of
England 800 various sorts, and from Ireland 3.50 oxen and
heifer. I,Tv stocic ro...u.ti us from Scotland.

Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was only mo-
derate, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, and most
breeds gave way 2d per 8 lbs. The general top quotation
for Downs was 5s 4d per 8 lbs. About 350 sheep came to
hand from Ireland.

As the lamb season is noir over wo have ceased to quote
prices.

There was a good demand for calves—the supply of
which was limited—at 4d per 8 lbs. above last Monday's
quotations.

The pork trade was firm at very fall prices.
