There was a vary extensive show of foreign beasts and
sheep here, to-day ; but the supply of foreign calves was
limited.
Fresh up from our grazing districts, the receipts of
beasts wera seasonably large, and we observed a decided
improvement in their general quality, when compared
with many previous weeks. All breeds met a very dull
sale at a decline in the prices realised on Monday last of
2d per 81bs. A few very superior Scots realised 4s 103;
but the general top figure was 4s 8d per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 2,803 short-horns ; from other parts of
England, 500 of various kinds; from Scotland, 33 Scots;
and from Ireland, viz Liverpool, 412 oxen.
The show of sheep was less extensive than on this day
ce'nnight, but we observed no improvement in the condi-
tion of the various breeds. Prime Downs awl half-brads
sold steadily at full prices, otherwise the mutton trade
was less active, but without leading to any °hang° in
value. The top price was 5s 4d per 81bs.
Lambs— the supply of which was tolerably g) oa—
moved off slowly at last week's currency. About 750
sheep and lambs came to hand from Ireland, And about
200 sheep, from Scotland, were on offer.
There wawa better feeling in the veal trade,'at a further
improvement of 2d per 81bs. The supply of calves was
very moderate.
Pigs were in improved request at very full prices.
