There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock on
offer here to-day. On the whole the demand for it ruled
steady, at full quotations.

The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our grazing dis-
tricts, were seasonably good, and in fair average condition.
Although the attendance of buyers was rather on the in-
'crease, the demand for nearly all breeds ruled inactive, at
Thursday's decline in the quotations. A few very superior
Scots and crosses realized 55., but the general top figure for
beef was 4s, 10d. per 81bs.

From the Eastern districts we received 1,300 Scots, &c. ;
from the North, 700 short horns ; from other parts of Eng-
land, 800 various breeds; and, from Scotland, 170 Scots
and crosses.

There was only a moderate supply of sheep in the pens
but the quality of most breeds was tolerably good. The
mutton trade ruled steady, and last week's currency was
well supported. The best old Downs realized 6s. per
81bs.

Calves—the show of which was limited—moved off
freely, at Thursday's improvement in value. The best
veal was worth ss. Bd. per 81bs.

We were fairly supplied with pigs, which changed hands
slowly, at about last week's quotations.
