METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
There was a large supply of foreign stock here to-day.
On the whole the trade was inactive, at about previous
rates.
- " •

The arrivals of boasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were only moderate, but in prime condition. The
demand for most kinds was steady, but far from active, at
prices barely equal to Thursday last. However, the best
Scots and crosses were disposed of at fully ss. per 81bs.
The supply from Scotland was remarkably good.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received about 1,300 Scots, short horns, and crosses ; from
other parts of England, 500 various kinds; and from Scot-
land, 263 Scots and crosses.

We were heavily supplied with sheep, and most English
breeds made their appearance in full average weight.
Prime Downs and half-brads were in fair request, at full
prices, but heavy long-woolled sheep were the turn lower.
The top quotations were 4s. 101 to ss. per 81bs.
A few very superior lambs produced previous rates, viz.,
Bs. 44., but the general top figure was Bs. per 81bs. The
supply was tolerably good, whilst the arrivals from the Isle
of Wight were about 500 head.
The demand for calves was by no means active, yet
prices were well supported.
Pigs commanded very li;tle attention, on former terms.
Yer 81bs. to sink the offal.
