METROPOLITAN CATTLE,

Although there was a falling off in the supply of foreign
stock, both as to number and quality, the demand for all
breeds ruled heavy, and prices had a drooping tendency.
Fresh up to-day the arrivals of home-fed stock were
moderate, but in improved condition. The show of Irish
stock was rather extensive, of Scotch limited. For all
breeds the demand was in a sluggish state at, in some in-
stances, a decline in ,the quotations compared with Mon-
day last of 2d per 81bs. However, the best Scots and
crosses were worth 5s 4(.1 per Bibs.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 1,600 short-horns, &c. ; from other parts
of England, 600 various breeds; 55 Scots and crosses ;
and from Ireland, 700 oxen, &c.

The supply of Eaglish sheep was on the increase, and
most breeds come to.hand in good condition. For all breeds
the demand was heavy in the extreme at a reduction in
prices compared with Monday last of 4d par 81bs. A few
very inferior Downs and half-breds sold at 6s 4d ; but the
general top quotation was 6s per 81bs. Heavy Downs and
half-breds may be quoted at 5s 8d to bs 10d, and prime
Liucolus 5s 2d to 5s 4d per 81bs.
Calves were in moderate supply, and steady request at
full prices, viz., from 4s 8d to 5s 10d per 81bs.
The sale for pigs was heavy on lower terms. The
supply was by no means extensive.
