MARKET NE WS-(TiIIS DAY.)
This being what is termed the Great Lamb Market, there
was rather a numerous attendance of both London and coun-
try buyers at an early hour; but the result of the trade was
such as to disappoint the expectations of the graziers. Prime
Down qualities were, however, in steady request, at from
5s 10d to 6s per 8 lbs., but all other descriptions of Lamb
were extremely dull, at from 5s to 5s Bd, and a clearance was
not effected without much difficulty. The numbers, per
railway, from the Isle of Wight, embraced 200 ; from other
quarters about 5,000 head. The general quality of the Lambs
was by no means first rate. The number of Beasts, amongst
which were 30 Oxen and Cows from Holland, and 70 Scots
from Aberdeen, were more than adequate to meet
the wants of the butchers ; hence, the Beef trade, notwith-
standing the coldness of the weather, was heavy, at a de-
cline of 2d per 81bs. Sheep, the supply of which was sea-
sonably extensive, commanded a steady, though not to say
brisk, inquiry, at Monday's currencies. The Veal trade,
from the number of Calves being good, was very dull, yet
prices were mostly supported. In Pigs only a limited busi-
ness was doing, at previous quotations. Mulch Cows moved
off slowly at from 151. to 19/. each.
