METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts were only moderate, but mostly of prime quality.
The receipts from. Scotland were tolerably good ; from Ire-
land, limited. The demand for most breeds ruled steady,
and, in some instances, the quotations were rather higher
than on Monday last. The best Scots and crosses realised
5s 2d to 5s 4d per 81bs.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received abuut 1,300 Scots, short horns, &c ; from other
parts of England, 600 various breeds ; from Scotland, 360
Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 128 oxen, &c.
Not-withstanding that the supply of sheep was limited
all breeds moved off slowly, at drooping currencies. Tho
best Ddwns and half-bredg, in the wool, sold at Gs to 6s 2d
per Blbs ; out of the wool, 5s to 5s 2d. The quality of the
stock was prime.

Lambs, the show of which was moderate, wore hin-
t ivo, at from 7s 4d to 8s per 81bs.
Calves were in short supply, and steady request, at late
rates, viz., from 4s Gd to 5s 2d per 81bs.
In pigs next to nothing was doing. Prices, however,
were supported. The top figure was 4s 4d per Sibs.
