We were fairly supplied. with most kinds of foreign
stock, which sold steadily.
For the time of year a full average supply of beasts came
to hand from our own grazing districts, in fair condition.
Although the attendance of buyers was tolerably numer-
ous, the beef trade ruled far from active. Compared with
may observe that the general top figure
Monday last, however, very little change took place in the
quotations. We
for beef did not exceed 4s 6cl per 81b. A few very superior
lots went at 4s 8d per 8lb•
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,600 Scots and shorthorns; from Lincolnshire
and Leicestershire 500 shorthorns, from other parts of
England 300 of various breeds, and from Scotland 12 Scots.
No beasts reached us from Ireland.
We had an increased supply of sheep in the market ; but
its general quality was by no means first-rate. The beet
Down's and half-breds were in steady request, at Friday's
improvement in value of 2d per 81b. Second-rate sheep
were dull, but no actual change took place in the quota-
tious. Sheep, scarcely fit for cutting purposes, were in-
quired for by parties grazing near London, owing to the
abundance of food in the pastures.
The show of lambs was moderately extensive. Most
breeds sold to a fair extent ; but the highest general quo-
tation was 6s 6d per 81b. From Ireland, via Liverpool,
500 head came to hand. in improved condition.
Although the supply of both English and foreign calves
was very moderate, the veal trade ruled dull, and in some
instances prices were a shade lower than on Friday. The
best calves sold at 4s 101 par 81bs.
Pigs were in fair supply and heavy request, at last week's
currency.
