As the navigation in the North of Europe will shortly
close, we may look forward to heavy imports of beasts
during the next three or four weeks, owing to the scarcity
of food.
- •

There was a large supply of foreign stock on offecr here
to-day, in very middling condition, and sales progressed
slowly, at barely the late decline in value.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning from our
leading grazing counties, were seasonably good as to num-
ber, but somewhat deficient in quality. The primest Scots,
Short-horns, &c., sold steadily, at very full prices. Other-
wise, the trade ruled comparatively heavy, at last week's
currency.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 3,100 shorthorns ; from other parts of
England, 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland 100 Scots
and from Ireland 850 oxen, &c. _

The total supply of sheep was rather extensive, but it
was chiefly composed of inferior breeds. Prime Downs sold
without difficulty, at very full prices, but other sheep were
very dull, and the turn lower. About 850 sheep (tame to
hand from Ireland, and some Scotch breeds sold as high as
61s. each.

Wo wore scantily supplied with calves, -which sold
steadily, and prices had an upward tendency.
Pigs, the supply of which was moderate, sold heavily, at
the late decline in value.

rates have been well supported. Rapeseed has soli l to a
fair extent, at full quotations. In the value of other seeds,
very little change has taken place, and the demand fo r them
has been rather inactive. Cakes continue very du 11, and
prices have further declined.
