great improvement was noticed; indeed, scarcelYstuis

stones (Sibs), and found buyers at 61. each. Mr.

to Mr. Rowland, of Creslow, which realised high price:
In the other portions of the supply of Sheep there
nothing calling for particular remark. As to the 1110t1;
trade, it was in a very sluggish state, yet the currencl4a
obtained on this day se'nnight—the highest being te
per Slbs—were supported. Very few Foreign Bensee.ni
Sheep were on sale, and there was scarcely any incl.llo
for them. The imports for the United Kingdom, stn
