There was a fair average supply of foreign stock in to-
day's market, and the demand ruled steady, at extreme
rates, to a slight advance.
From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts
fresh up, this morning, were but moderate in number,
and almost generally deficient in quality. The compara-
tive coolness of the weather, added to an increased number
of buyers iu attendance, produced a steady demand f,r all
breeds of beasts, at an advance in the quotations realised
on Monday last of 24 per Blbs. The best Scots sold
readily, at fully 4s 104 per Ms.
The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
and Northamptonshire, amounted to 2,000 short horns;
from other parts of England, 370 of various breeds ; from
Scotland, 25 Scots, and, from Ireland, 70 oxen.
We had a fair show of sheep, but their general condition
was by no means prime. Middling and inferior breeds
sold readily, at an improvement in value of 21 per Sibs.
