A fair average supply of foreign stock was on sale here*
to-day, and sales progressed heavily on lower terms.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts this morning were tolerably extensive as to num-
ber, and in fair average condition. Owing chiefly to the
prevailing hot weather, all breeds of beasts met a very dull
sale, at a decline in the quotations noticed on Monday last
of fully 2d per 81bs., the extreme price for Scots being 4s
6d per Blbs.
From Norfolk, Sussex, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,250 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; from other
parts of England 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland 200
Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 30 oxen.
We were again very extensively supplied with nearly all
breeds of sheep, and the mutton trade was in a most de-
pressed state. Compared with this day se'nnight, prices
gave way 2d to 4d per 81bs, and the top figure for Downs
did not exceed 4s .10d per 81bs.
Lambs were in good supply and heavy request, at 2d per
81bs less money. About 600 sheep and 500 lambs came to
hand from Ireland.
The show of calves was large, and the veal trade ruled
heavy, at 2d per 81bs less money.
In pigs next to nothing was doing, at late rates.
