Pigs.

From our grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up
were moderate in number, but of full averaged quality.
The attendance of butchers was rather extensive, and the
beef trade ruled steady at last Monday's currency, and at
which a fair clearance was effected.

The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire, amounted to 2,200 short-horns and
crosses ; and from other parts of England, 400 of various
breeds ; from Scotland, 200 Scots and crosses ; and from
Ireland, b5O oxen and heifers.

Tho show of all breeds of sheep was limited. The mutton
trade generally ruled firm, at fully !previous rates. Some
very superior Downs realised 5s 4d per Blbs.
Both English and foreign calves, the supply of which
was limited, moved off slowly, yet prices were supported.
Prime small pigs were firm in price. Otherwise the pork
trade was rather heavy.
