METROPOLITAN
There was a full supply of stock for a Thursday's U
ket on show to-day, and as much of it was made f,rl'll
the portion left over unsold on Monday, from viu,is
the best, as a matter of course had been picked °h-io
our assortment to-day was not attractive. 11,:i0
combined with the bad accounts of the dead meat
tended to make our trade very dull. Of beasts there sled
1,110 on sale. The very few choice qualities to be f°ll.,ij
brought 5s 4d as the top price, whilst really prime 001-1,
be obtained at 5s and bs 2d ; good useful bil,
locks, 4s Bd. Moderately and inferior sold 11°.0
slowly and on lower terms. The mutton trade
l
equally heavy, and if 5s 4d was made it was cl.l.lfor
an exception, 5s being the current top figure
the best pens in the market, coarse heavy des c4llB,
tions very unsaleable; 6,060 sheep were on knii
Veal met a fair demand where the quality was rep'
prime. Pork sold without quotable change. au°' 59
tions per stone of 81bs by the carcase : —Beef, 3s 4d t° og
4d ; mutton, 3s 2d to 5s ; veal, 3s Gd to 5s 10d ; P°l.ll„ea
