There was an extensive show of all kinds of foreign stock
here, to-day, and amongst it wore 270 oxen from Corunna,
mostly in very poor condition.
The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our own grazing
districts, were seasonably large, and mostly in prime con-
dition, especially as the Norfolk season is now just draw-
ing to a close. The aggregat3 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, compared with Monday last, of 4d. per
81134' and a total clearance was not affected. The general
top figure for Scots did not exceed 4s. lid, per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, 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 19C9 in a depressed state; and, compared with
this day se'nnight, prices gave way from 2d. to 4d. per
81133. 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 81bs. West country Downs
realised aboat 4s. 6d. per 81bs., 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 81bs. less money. The
highest figure for the general run of lambs was 6-. 4d. per
81bs. From Ireland 80) head reached the market.
The supply of English naives 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 2,1. to 43. per Sibs. lower,
although the supply was only moderate.

NEWGATE AND LIEADENHALL.
For tho time of year these markets are well supplied
with each kind of meat, owing to which, and the heaviness
in the metropolitan market, the trade is heavy, and prices
almost generally have given way from 2d to 4d per Blbs.
