. METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock on
offer here to-day. Its general quality was very middling.
The demand was heavy, and prices had a drooping
tendency.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were on the increase, and mostly in good condi-
tion. From Scotland, the supply was rather extensive,
but the receipts from Ireland were limited,. Nearly all
breeds moved off slowly, at, in some instances, a decline
in the quotations of 2d. per 81133. A few very superior
Scots realised ss. 6d., but the general top price was ss. 4d.
per 81bs. The Scotch bullocks were in very prime
condition.

From Norfolk,.Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire were
received about 1,800 Scot; shorthorn; &a ; from other
parts of England, 700 various breeds; from Scotland, 424
Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 100 oxen and heifers.
There was about an average number of sheep in the
pens. Nearly the whole of them were of prime quality.
All breeds moved off slowly at fully 2d. per 81bs. less
money. The best Downs and crosses sold at 6s. per 81bs.
Calves were in moderato supply and sluggish request at
late rates, viz., from 4s. Gd. to ss. Gd. per Blbs.
The sale for pigs was heavy, but no actual decline took
place in prices. The top figure was 4s. 61 per 81bs.
