seeds the demand ruled inactive, on former terms. The
cake trade was by no means active ; nevertheless prices
ruled firm.
A small supply of English wheat was received up to our

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
The supply of foreign stock on offer here to-day was only
moderate, and in but middling condition. Beasts ad-
vanced in price, but other 'stock was inactive.
'Elie arrivals of boasts fresh from our own grazing
counties was again very moderate, but in
her fair average
condition. All breeds sold briskly, at hig qions.
The best Scots, crosses, &c.,
even 5s 8d to 5s 10d, and
even 6s per 81bs, and nearly the whole
war between Aus-
of the supply was
easily disposed of. Thep rospect of a
tria and Prussia, consequently of a considerable falling off
in the importations of stock from Germany, had great in-
fluence upon the trade to-day.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,200 Sects, crosses, and short horns ; from other
parts of England, 500 various breeds; and front Scotland,
6 Scots. There were no arrivals from lr•land.
We were fairly supplied with sheep. The weight of
each brood was quite equal to last week. On the whole,
the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at prices about
equal to this day se'nnight. The top figure for Downs and
half-breds was 6s per Sibs.
Thorn was a steady sale for lambs, the supply of which
was moderate, at full quotations, vis., from 6s 8d to 8s per
81bs.
Calves declined 4d per 81bs, with a slow inquiry. The
supply was moderately good.
The demand for pigs was heavy, nevertheless price s
wore supported.
