METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Notwithstanding that only a limited supply of beasts was
on offer here to-day, the beef trade ruled heavy, at a decline
in the quotations, compared with Monday, of from 2d to 4d
per 8 lbs, the top figure being 4s Bd. We had a very dull
sale for sheep, the show of which was only moderate, at 2d
to 4d per 8 lbs less money. The extreme value of Downs
was 5s Bd. Prime lambs sold steadily, at full quotations,
otherwise the lamb trade was very inactive, at 2d per 8 lbs
decline. We had a slow inquiry for calves, nevertheless
prices were supported. Pigs and mulch cows were very
dull, and lower to sell.
