METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was about an average supply of foreign stock
here to-day, and sales progressed slowly at, in some in-
stances, reduced currencies.

We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts, whilst
the general quality of tho stock was good. For all breeds
the demand was very inactive at prices barely equal to
Monday last. The general top figure for Scots and crosses
was 4s 10d por 8 lbs.

1 From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton..
shire we received about 1,950 short horns, etc.; from other
parts of England, GGO various breeds; from Scotland, 17
Scots and crosses; •ad from Ireland, 130 oxen, cows, etc.
The show of sheep in the pens was only moderate, but
the quality of most breeds was good. Even the bast
Downs and half-breds moved off heavily, and the prices
current on this day se'nnight wero with difficulty sup-
ported. The highest quotation was 4s 10d par 81bs.
We have to report a heavy sale for calves on rather
lower terms—viz., from 4s 2d to 5s 2d per Blbs. The
supply was rather limited.

The inquiry for pigs was very limited, and the quota-
tions were with difficulty supported. Prices ranged from
3s 4d to 4s 2d per Sibs.
