METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Although only a moderate supply of beasts was on sale in
to-day's market, the demand for all breeds ruled very
inactive, at Monday's currency. The show of sheep was
seasonably good. Prime Downs and half-breeds sold
steadily, other kinds of sheep slowly, at previous quota-
tions. The best old Downs sold at 5s per 81bs. We had
an improved inquiry for lambs, the supply of which was
limited, at full prices. In calves very little was doing, at
drooping currencies. Pigs and mlich cows were very dull,
at barely late rates.

Per 81bs to sink the offal.
