The supplies of all kinds of foreign stock in our market,
to-day, were very extensive as to number, and in fair
average condition.

From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were seasonably good, but their
general quality was by no means first rate. The primest
Scots, crosses, &c., were in fair request, at full prices;
but most other breeds moved off slowly, at late rates.
A few very inferior beasts realised 4s. Bd. per 81bs.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire amounted to about 1,600 short horns
and crosses; from other parts of England, 1,200 of various
breeds ; from Scotland, 50 Scots and crosses ; and from
Ireland, 110 oxen and heifers.

The show of sheep was seasonably good. On the whole,
the mutton trade was in a sluggish state. In the general
qualities, however, we have no change to notice.
We were well supplied with lambs, and the demand for
them was heavy, at a decline in the quotations, compared
with Monday last, of fully 4d per 81bs.
The veal trade was heavy, at Thursday's delino in value
of 2d per 81bs. The supply of calves was good.
In pigs very little business was transacted, at last week's
currency.
