There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer
in to-day's market in good condition.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were seasonably good, and the gene-
ral quality of the stock was prime. Although very little
meat was on show in the dead market, the demand for
nearly all breeds of beasts was in a sluggish state, at last
Monday's currency—the general top figure for beef being
4s 4d per 81bs.

The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nor-
thamptonshire amounted to 1,000 short horns and crosses ;
from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire 800
Scots, short horns, and crossess ; from other parts of Eng-
land 800 of various breeds ; from Scotland 80 Scots and
crosses ; and from Ireland 180 oxen and heifers. •
We were again well supplied with all kinds of sheep.
Prime Downs and half-breeds were in steady request at fully
last week's prices; but most other breeds moved off slowly
at late currencies. A few very superior old Downs sold at
5s per 81bs.
There was a moderate inquiry for lambs, the supply of
which was good, at last week's prices. About 1,100 reached
us from Ireland.

The supply of calves was rather extensive, and the veal
trade ruled heavy at a decline in value of 2d per 81bs.
Pigs were in improved request at very full prices.
