To-day's market was less extensively suppled with
foreign stock, ani its general quality was by no means
first-rate.

Compared with Monday last there was a considerable
falling off in the total supply of beasts on sale this morning.
In the demand for most breeds, the condition of which ex-
hibited some improvement, there was moro activity at
prices fully equal to last week. The best Scots and crosses
sold readily at 4s 8d per 81bs, and a clearance was effected.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received about 2,000 short-horns and crosses ;
from other parts of,England, 650 of various breeds ; from
Scotland, 50 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 350
oxen and heifers.

We were moderately supplied with most descriptions of
sheep. There was a decided improvement in the demand
for all kinds, and prices advanced 2d per Blbs. The best
old Downs and half-breds realised 6s 2d per 81bs.
Notwithstanding that the supply of calves was limited,
the veal trade ruled heavy at last week's prices. The top
quotation was 4s 8d per 81bs.

Prime small pigs were in fair request at full currencies.
Otherwise, the pork trade was in a sluggish state, on
former terms.
