There was a fair average supply of foreign stock in
to-day's market, in fair condition. Compared with Monday
last, the receipts of home fed beasts fresh up this morning
were very moderate, and their general quality was by no
means first rate. Although the attendance of buyers wits
not to say numerous, there was a slight improvement in
the trade, but without leading to any advance in the quo-
tations. The highest value of the best Scots was 4s 10d
per 8113 s.
From Lincoln hire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,500 short horns ; from other parts of
England 300 of various breeds; from Scotland, 4 Scots;
and from Ireland, 340 oxen.
We were very scantily supplied with all breeds of sheep.
For most breeds there was an improved demand, and prices
were 2d per 81bs higher than on this day se'ennight. The
bast old Downs and half-breds 5s to 68 per 814 From
Ireland 320 sheep came to band via Liverpool.
Very few calves were in tke market, and the veal trade
ruled brisk, at 2d per 81bs above last Monday's currency.
Pigs were in moderate supply and fair request, at full
prices.
