There was a slight increase in the arrival of beasts fresh
up to-day from Norfolk, but the receipts from other quar-
ters were very limited. For all breed 4 the demand ruled
inactive, yet, compared with Monday last, no change took
place in the quotations. The general top figure for Scots
was 4s 4d, but a few very superior animals realised 4s 6d
per Blbs. The general weight and condition of the stock
were by no means heavy or inferior.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
reoeived 3,000 Scots and short horns ; from other parts of
England, 20) of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 80
Scots.

There was a full average time-of-year supply of sheep in
the market, in mostly fair condition. The mutton trade
was far from active ; nevertheless, last Monday's currency
was supported. A few very superior Downs were at 4s
hid per 81bs.

We has a good demand for lambs, at full quotations,
viz., 5s 8d to 7s per 81bs. About 3io came to hand from
the Isle of Wight.

Calves—the supply of which was good—sold slowly, at
Thursday's decline in ♦alue.

We had a dull inquiry for pigs, at lest week's currency
