METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was abaut an average time-of-year supply of fo-
reign stock on offer here to-day. On the whole the demand
ruled steady, at very full prices to a slight advance.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were only moderate. The general
condition of the stock, however, was good. The receipts
from Ireland and Scotland wore rather limited. Although
the trade was by no means active, prices, compared with
Monday last, advanced 2d per 81b. The best Scots and
croszes realised bs 2d per 81b.

The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire amounted to about 1,800 short horns
&c. ; from other parts of England, 620 various breeds ;
from Scotland, 38 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland
170 oxen, cows, &c. ,

The show of sheep was only moderate. For most breeds
there was a fair inquiry, at 2d per 81b more money. Tho
best Downs and half-breds sold at 5s per 81b.

Tho few calves in the market chang ed hands at a slight
improvement in the quotations, which ranged from 4s 4d
to 5s 4d per 81b.

Prime small pigs moved off steadily, large hogs slowly
at late rates. The supply was tolerably good.
