There was an extensive show of all kinds of foreign stock
here, to-day, and amongst it were 270 oxen from Corunna,
mostly in very poor condition.
The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our own grazing
districts, wero seasonably large, and mostly in prime con-
dition, especially as the Norfolk season is now just draw.
ing to a close. The aggregate supply being considerably
in excess of the wants of the butchers, demand for all
breeds of beasts ruled heavy in the extreme, at a decline in
the quotations, c mpared with Monday last, of 43. per
81b., and a total clearance was not affected. The general
top figure for Scots did not exceed 4s. 6d. per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essax' and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,500 Scots and short horns ' • from other parts of
England, 350 of various breeds; from Scotland, 120 Scots;
and from Ireland, 11 oxen.

We were heavily supplied with all breeds of sheep, and,
with some exceptions, their quality was good. The trade
generally was in a depressed state; and, compared with
this day se'nnight, prices gave way from 2d. to 4d. per
B'b3. A few very superior Downs may have produced a
trifle over our top figure ; but the general price for them
was not more than 4s. Bd. per Sibs. West country Downs
realised about 4s. 6d. per 81b3., and several lots of sheep
were turned out unsold.
There was an extensive show of lambs, for which the
demand ruled heavy, at 4d. per Blbs. less money. The
highest figure for the general run of lambs was 63. 41. per
Blbs. From Ireland 80 3 head reached the market.

The supply of English calves was only moderate—of
foreign large. The veal trade ruled heavy, at 4d. per 81bs.
less money compared with Monday last.
Pigs were very dull, and 2d. to 4d. per 81bs. lower,
although the supply was only moderate.
