There were no less than 450 Spanish oxen on offer in to-
day's market, in good condition. The supply of other
kinds of foreign stock was limited.

From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts,
fresh up this morning, were very moderate, but, on the
whole, of full average weight. The primest Scots, crosses,
kc., were in good request, at an advance in quotations,
compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81bs—the top figure
being ss—otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state,
on former terms.

From the eastern districts we received about 1,000 Scots
and short horns ; from the northern, 800 short horns ; from
other parts of England, 400 various breeds ; from Scotland
90 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 120 oxen.
The show of all breeds of sheep was very limited. On
the whole there was an improved feeling in the mutton
trade, at an advance in the quotations of 2d per Sibs. The
general top price was 6s per Blbs. The quality of the sheep
was by no means prime.

We were scantily supplied with both English and foreign
calves, which commanded a steady inquiry, at full curren-
cies.

Pigs were in short supply, and sluggish request, at last
week's currency.

Notwithstanding that the supplies of meat on offer here
are only moderate, the trade generally, owing to the amount
of distress in the metropolis, caused by the inclemency of
the weather, is heavy as follows :
