The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was only
moderate, and the trade ruled steady, at full prices. The
sheep wore, for the most part, in good condition. Com-
pared with Monday last, the supply of English beasts on
offer exhibited a falling off, and most breeds were in very
middling condition. The attendance of buyers was tolerably
numerous, and the beef trade ruled somewhat active, at an
advance in the quotations realised on this day se'nnight of
2d per 8 lbs. The beat breeds sold without difficulty at 5s
per 8 lbs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 2,600 short horns ; from other parts of
England, 260 of various breeds ; and from Ireland, 350
oxen, via Liverpool.

For the time of year, we were very scantily supplied
with sheep, both as to number and quality. Notwith-
standing that the mutton trade was by no means brisk,
prices were well supported. The general top figure for
Downs was 5s per 8 lbs, but we may state that a few
very superior pens realised prices rather over that quota-
tion. From Ireland, 160 sheep came fresh to hand.
Calves, the supply of which was only moderate, sold
slowly, and prices gave way 2d per 8 lbs.
The supply of pigs was rather limited, and the sale
ruled firm, at full quotations.
