METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Our market, to-day, was will supplied with furcign
stock, in fair average condition. The demand ruled heavy,
at slightly depressed ourreucios.

The arrivals of beasts, fresh up fiorn our own grazing
disricts, were moderately extensive, and mostly of good
quality. The primest breeds were in fair request, at prices
about equal to Mon lay last. Inferior breeds wore very
dull, at barely last week's currency. The top figure was
ss. per Blbs.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received about 1,650 short horns, dcc.; from other
parts of England, 500 various breeds; from Scotland, 0
Scots; and from Ireland, 360 oxen, cows, &c.
The supply of sheep was rather extensive, and in good
saleable condition. Fur all breeds the demand ruled
heavy, and the quotations gave way 2d. per 81bs. The
best Downs and half-brods changed hands at 4s. 101 per
81bs.

. Calves—the show of which were by no means exten-
sive—were a slow sale, at late rates, viz., from 4s. 4d. to
Os. 4d. per Blbs.

We have to notice a heavy sale for pigs, at barely sta-
tionary prices. The highest quotation was 4s. 2d. per
Blbs. The foreign pigs arrived in good condition.

Per Blbs. to sink the offal.
