Our market to-day was very moderately suPP.'l„(l
with foreign Sheep ; but the number of Beasts '"0
Calves was seasonably extensive. From • our ,hi•
grtzing districts the arrivals of Beasts fresh Orbs
morning, fell short of those reported on this day se'nrizghe
by nearly one thousand head, owing to which, and tat)
increased number of buyers in attendance, the Beef trao
ruled somewhat active at an advance in the quotstl%;

the whole of the supply was disposed of. -`O%,
arrivals of Beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, si4„,;(,- -
and Cambridgeshire amounted to 2,000 Scots, braj,
breds, and short horns. From other parts of Etigted
400 Herefords, runts, &c.; and from Scotland 300 borm.,,.
and polled Scots. There was a very considerable ifo-r
crease in the supply of Sheep, hence the demand o
that description of stock was heavy in the extreme, ik.of
fall in value of 2d per 81bs. As nearly the wilt i,50
the Sheep were shorn, our quotations -refer to im0:1
only. Lambs, the numbers of which were large, 01°ifyi•
off heavily, and the currencies gave way 2d per 8 4.
The primest Down Lambs were not worth more than 0
6d per 81bs. The sale for Calves ruled heavka•
the late decline in value. In Pigs next to nothing ^
doing, at last week's prices.
