To-day's market was but moderate:y supplied with fo-
rBign stock in very middling condition. The merino
sheep shipped at Hamburg, sold at 20.4 to 22s each.
From Norfolk and Suffolk, the receipts of beasts wore
seasonably good ; but, from all other quarters, the arri-
vals were very lituited. The general condition of the
supply was good. For nearly all breeds we had a slight
improvement in the demand, and, in some instances,
pricey were 2d per Sibs higher than on Monday last. The
best Scots sold at 4s 6d per 81hs.

The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounte-1 to 2,850 Scots and short horns
from other parts of England, 200 of various breeds ;• and
from Scotland, 90 Scots. _

There was a full average show of most breeds of sheep.
Heavy weights met rather a slow sale at last Monday's
currency ; but prime selling sheep were in improved re-
quest, and 2d per 81bs dearer. The primest Downs sold
readily at 4s Bd, and, in some instances, rather more,
per Sibs.
Lambs were in moderate supply and good request, at
from 5s Bil to 7s per Blbs. About 403 came to hand from
the Tele of Wight.
We had a steady inquiry for calves—the supply of sheep
was rather limited—at an advance in prices of fully 2d
per 81bs.
Pigs were a slow inquiry, yet the quotations were well
supported.
