METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a full average supply of foreign beasts and
sheep on sale in our market to-day, but the general quality
of the stock was only middling. The trade generally was
active on higher terms.

The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts, as well as from Ireland and Scotland, fell off
considerably when compared with Monday last. The
supply from Norfolk and Scotland was in prime condition.
There were about 200 beasts on show from Lincolnshire.
Although the late order prohibiting the removal of stock
without the four mile. range from Charing-cross has not
been rescinded, purchases of beasts were made for the
country at a certain amount of risk. The beef trade was
not to say brisk, yet prices advanced 4d per 81bs. A few
very superior Scots and crosses realised os 4d, but the
general top prices were E.s to 5s 2d per 81bs. The whole
of the supply wan disposed of.

From Norfolk we receivod 400 Scots, &c. ; from other
parts of England, 1,000 various breeds ; from Scotland,
400 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 150 oxen and
heifers.

The show of sheep was limited, but the quality of most
breeds was good. Tho mutton trade ruled steady, and the
quotations advanced 2d per Blbs. The beet Downs and
half-breds changed hands at from 6s 4d to Gs 8d per 81bs ;
clipped Downs sold at 58 2d to 5s 4d per 81bs.

The few calves on offer were disposed of at very high
rates, viz., from 5s 6d to 6s Gd per 81bs.

There was a steady inquiry for pigs on rather higher
terms. The top figure was 5s per Blbs.
