METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
To-day' s market was fairly supplied with foreign stock,
the quality of which was tolerably good. The demand
ruled steady, at prices equal to Monday last. '

The fresh arrivals of beasts from our own grazing dis-
tricts were only moderate as to number, but in full average
condition. For most breeds there was a fair demand, and
last quotations were well supported. The primest breeds
sold at 4s 8d to 5s per Blbs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received about 1,600 short horns, &c. ; from other
parts of England 600 various breeds, and from Ireland 410
oxen, cows, ctc. The latter were in very poor condition.
The show of sheep was slightly on the increase. Good
and prime breeds moved off freely, and, in some instances,
prices were a shade higher than on this day se'maight.
Otherwise the trade was inactive, at late rates. The
primest Downs and half-brads realised 5s per 81b.
The supply of calves was only moderate; nevertheless,
sales progressed slowly, at previous rates—viz., from 4s 4d
to 5s 4d per 81bs.

There was a fair sale for prime pigs at full prices; bu t
large hogs were much neglected, at late cu:rencies.
