METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

There was rather a larger supply of beasts on offer in
to-day's market, in fall average condition. Most breeds
were in fair request at Monday's currency. We were
scantily supplied with sheep, which moved off slowly.
In prices, however, no change took place.
The show of calves was extensive, and the veal trade
ruled heavy, at a fall in value of 6:1 per Sibs.
Pigs and nailch cows sold slowly at late rates.
