METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The show of foreign stock here to-day was seasonably
good, and, on the whole,:offair average condition. Amongst
it were a few beasts from Prussia.

With home-fed beasts we were but moderately supplied,
but their quality was firm. The attendance of buyers was
somewhat numerous, and all breeds of beasts moved off
steadily, at an advance in the quotations realised on Mon-
day last of 2d per 81bs. ,The general top figure for Scots
was ss; but some very prime animals realised 5s 2d
per 81bs.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Sussex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,020 Scots, &c. ; from other parts of England,
200 of various breeds; from Scotland, GOO Scots and
crosses ; and from Ireland, S oxen.

With sheep we were well supplied in, for the most part
good condition—all signs of rot having disappeared.
Prime downs and half-breds commanded a steady sale, and,
in some instances, prices were a shade dearer than on this
day se'nnight ; otherwise, the mutton trade was in a
sluggish state, at last week's currency.
Prime lambs were in request at full prices ; but inferior
breeds were heavy at the late decline in value.
Calves—the supply of which was good—were very dull
at Thursday's decline in the quotations.
We had a moderate sale for pigs, at full prices.
