The supplies of foreign beasts and sheep in to-day's mar-
ket were seasonably extensive; of foreign calves very
limited.

From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up were rather large as to number, but very deficient
in quality. The attendance of butchers was good, and all
prime breeds commanded a steady sale at last Monday's
currency—the primest Scots having sold at fully 4s 10d
per Slim. Otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state
at last week's quotations.

The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nor-
thamptonshire amounted to 2,621 short horns and crosses;
from other parts of England 400 of various breeds ; from
Scotland 120 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 650 oxen
and heifers.

The supply of sheep was tolerably good. For most
breeds there was a steady demand at fully the prices rea-
lised on this day se'nnight. The best old Downs and half-
breeds sold at 5s 4d per Elbs. The general quality of the
sheep was very middling.
Although the supply of calves was very limited, the veal
trade was in a sluggish state, at last Monday's currencies,
or about 2d per Sibs beneath Thursday's quotations.
We had a fair demand for pigs, at full prices. The sup-
ply.was good.
