There was a very limited supply of foreign stock on sale
here this morning, and the demand for it ruled steady, at
very full prices.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our gracing districts
were seasonably good as to number, and, for the most part,
in fair saleable condition, especially those from Norfolk.
For all breeds we had a steady demand, at prices fully equal
'to Monday last. The general top fgure was 5s per 8113 s.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,500 Scots, crosses, and short horns; from other
parts of England, 1,000 various breeds; from Scotland, 170
Scots and crosses. No stock reached us from Ireland.

We were again scantily supplied with nearly all breeds
of sheep; but they reaohed us in more saleable condition.
The mutton trade was firm, at fully last week's currency.
The best old Downs were worth quite 6s. per 81bs.
Calves—the supply of which was limited—sold readily
at extreme rates—a very superior calf being worth 5s 6d
per 81bs.

Prime small pigs moved off steadily, at full prices; but
Largo hogs ware dull, at barely late rates.
