METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
The supply of foreign beasts and sheep on offer here, to-
day, was tolerably good—of foreign calves rather limited.
Among them were several pens of shorn sheep. There was
a slight improvement in the demand, and the prices cur-
rent en Monday last were rather exceeded.
The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing die-

with this day so'nnight of 21. per 81bs. The best Scots

of beasts fcom Scotland was small, but in prime conditioa•
There was no fresh receipts from inland.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received about 1,300 Scots, crosses and short horns. From
other parts of England, 620 various breeds, and from Scot-
land, 234 Scots and crosses.

With sheep we were but moderately supplied. Nearly
all breeds moved off steadily, at an improvement in the
currencies of 2d. per Blbs. The best Downs and half-breds
realised 6s. to Gs. 2d. per Blbs. The quality of the sheep
was good.

Calves were 2d. to 4d. per 81bs. dearer than on this day
