The supply of foreign boasts and sheep here to-day was
somewhat extensive; of foreign calves limited.
From our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland,
the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning were season-
ably large as to number, but, generally speaking, very defi-
cient in quality. For all breeds the demand ruled heavy.
A few very superior Scots and crosses sold at last Mon-
day's currency—via., from 4s 6d to 4s 8d per 81bs ; but
inferior qualities of beef gave way 2d per 81bs, and a clear-
ance was not effected.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and North-
amptonshire amounted to 2,600 short horns and crosses ;
from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds ; from
Scotland, 70 Soots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 960
oxen and heifers. _ _

Compared with Monday last, there was a considerable
falling off in the supply of sheep ; nevertheless the mutton
trade, almost generally, was in a sluggish state, at unaltered
quotations. The best old Downs sold at 5s per Blbs.
Primo small calves wero in fair request, at full prices.
Otherwise the veal trade was very inactive, on former
terms.
