There was a very extensive show of foreign beasts and
sheep hero, to-day; but the supply of foreign calves was
limited.

Fresh np from our grazing districts, the receipts of
beasts were 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 Sibs. A few very superior Scots realised 4s 101;
but the general top figure was 4s 8d per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 2,800 short-horns ; from other parts of
England, 500 of various kinds; from Scotland, 33 Scots;
and from Ireland, via Liverpool, 412 oxen.
The show of sheep was less extensive than on this day
sennight, but wo observe.' no improvement in the condi-
tion of the various breeds. Prime Downs and half-bred■
sold steadily at full prices, otherwise the mutton trade
was less active, but without leading to any change in
value. The top price was 5s 41 per 81bs.
Lambs— the supply of which was tolerably poi—
moved off slowly at last week's currency. About 750
sheep and lambs came t hand from Ireland, and about
200 sheep, from Scotland, were on offer.
Thorn was a better feeling in the veal trade, at a further
improvement of 2d per 81bs. The supply of calves was
very moderate. .

Pige were in improved request at very full prices.
