Only a limi6te2dl su.p—ply2,o2f23fore"ign stock was on sale to-
day, and its general quality was inferior.
For the time of year the arrivals of home-fed beasts fresh
up this morning were limited, but the quality of moat
breeds was good. The attendance of buyers was on the
increase, and the beef trade ruled very firm, at prices fully
equal to those realised on Monday last—the best lots selling
at quite 5s 2d per
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,600 Scots and shorthorns; from other parts of
England 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland 440 Scots ;
and from Ireland 67 oxen.

We were again very scantily supplied with sheep as to
number, but they were for the moat part of full average
weight. The mutton trade ruled somewhat active, and
last week's currency was fully supported—the beat Downs
being worth 5s 4d per 81bs.
There were very few calves in the market, and the veal
trade was brisk at 4d per 81bs above last Monday's quota-
tions. The top figure was 5s Gd per 81bs.
Pigs were in short supply and moderate request, at full
quotations.
