There was rather an extensive supply of foreign stock on
offer in to-day's market, in, for the most part, fair average
condition.

The ,arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts
were seasonably large as to number, but somewhat deficient
in quality. The primest Scots, &c., were in moderate re-
quest, at full prices ; otherwise, the beef trade was in a
sluggish state, and the quotations had a drooping tendency.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 1,650 short horns and crosses; from other
parts of England, 1,200 of various breeds; from Scotland,
50 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 172 oxen and
heifers.

There was rather a large supply of sheep in the pens.
Prime Downs, half-breds, &c., were in fair request, at full
quotations. - Other breeds of sheep moved off slowly, at
about previous currencies.

Lambs—the show of which was tolerably good—sold at
previous rates, but the demand for them was by no means
active. About 800 came to hand from Ireland.

The veal trade was far from brisk, yet prices were sup
ported. Foreign calves came freely to hand.

We had a slight improvement in the pork trade, at full
quotations.
