About an average supply of foreign stock was on offer
here to-day, in middling.

Fresh up to-day from our own grazing districts the
arrivals of beasts were only moderate, both as to rumbor
and quality. For all kinds—if we except the primest Scots
and crosses—the demand ruled inactive. Compared with
Monday last, however, no change took place in the quota-
tions.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire about 1,300 short horns and crosses came to hand.
The receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire
were 1,100 Scots, short horns, crosses ; from other parts of
England, 300 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 200 Scots
and crosses ; and from Ireland, 30 oxen, &c.

The show of sheep was again seasonably large, and in
fair condition. On the whole, the mutton trade was in a
'sluggish state ; but, compared with Monday last, no change
took place in prkes. The best old Downs sold at 4s 10d
per 81bs. _ . _

- Lambs—the supply of which was good—moved off
heavily, at barely late rates. About 1,200 sheep and lambs
came to hand from the Isle of Wight.
We were fairly supplied with calves, which met a dull
inquiry, at late quotations.

In pigs, next to nothing was doing, at previous cur-
rencies.
