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 toierably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts, whilst
the general quality of the 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 per 8 lbs.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received about 1,950 short horns, etc.; from other
parts of England, 660 various breeds; from Scotland, 17
Scots and crosses; and from Treland, 130 oxen, cows, etc.
The show of sheep in the pens was only • moderate, but
the quality of most breeds was good. Even the bust
Downs and half-brods moved off heavily, and the prices
current on this day se'nnight were with difficulty sup-
ported. The highest quotation was 4s 10d par Sibs.
We have to report a heavy sale for calves on rather
lower terms—viz., from 4s 2d to 5s 2d par 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 81bs.
