About an average supply of foreign► boasts and sheep was
on offer here to-day; but the show of foreign calves was
very limited.

An increased number of beasts, in somewhat improved
condition, was received fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts, when compared with Monday last. Although thero
was less activity in the demand for most broods, prices wore
fairly supported—the general top figure for beef being 4s
10d per 81bs.

The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicostershire, and Nor-
thamptonshire amounted to 2,503 short horns and crosses ;
from other parts of England 400 of various breeds ; from
Scotland 149 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 412 oxen
and heifers. • r

The supply of sheep was rathn on the increase, and the
condition of most breeds p•chibitad a altot unproveuicag.
Choice Downs and half-breeds changed hands steadily at
full currencies, via., 5s 21 per Ms, Other descriptions of
sheep were a slow inquiry, but not cheaper.
The few calves in the market were taken off readily at 4d
per Sibs. above Thursday's currency—the top figure being
5s 4d per Blbs.

On the whole a fair average business Was transacted in
pigs, the supply of which was tolerably good, at full quo-
tations to a slight advance.
