There was a large number of foreign beasts, sheep, and
calves on offer here, to-day, in good condition.
A fair average supply of home-fed beasts was received
up this morning, but its general quality was by no means
first-rate. Prime Scots, crosses, Devons, &c., were in fair
request, at prices equal to Monday last ; but inferior breeds
moved off slowly, and in some instances quotations had a
drooping tendency. Tho general top figure for beef was
4s 8d per 81b.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 2,200 shorthorns and crosses ; from other
parts of England 700 of various breeds ; from Scotland 100
Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 360 oxen and heifers.
Some of the latter were remarkably good.
With most breeds of sheep we were extensively supplied,
and there was a slight improvement in their general condi-
tion. The primest Downs and half-breeds sold slowly at
last Monday's currency, viz., 5s 2d to, in a few instances,
5s 4d per Blbs. Otherwise, the mutton trade was rather
heavy, on easier terms.
The supply of lambs was rather limited, yet the demand
for them was less active, at about the currencies realised on
this day se'nnight, viz., from 4s 8d to 6s per 81bs.
Calves—the show of which was tolerably good—were a
dull sale, and 2d per 81bs lower than on Thursday.

We have to report a dull inquiry for pigs) at late rates.
