METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

To• day's inarket was moderately supplied with beasts,
and the general condition of the stock was by no means
first-rate. All kinds met a dull inquiry, yet compared with.
Monday no quotable change took place in prices. Sheep,
the show of which was about an average one, were a dull
sale, and 2s per Blbs lower, the extreme quotations for
Downs being 5s 2d per 81bs. As the season for lamb 18
now over we have ceased to quote it. The lambs here this
morning sold at irregular currencies. Calves were veil'
dull, and 4d per 81bs lower. The supply was tolerably
good. In pigs and milch cows only a limited business Was
passing at late rates.
