LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, YESTERDAY

There was a fair supply of Beasts and Sheep at this day's
market. Beef fully realised last week's prices, as also did
prime Sheep. Lambs were rather lower.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, JULY 16.

The supply of Beasts at to-day's market was very limited ;
but that of Sheep was a full average. From the Liverpool mar-
ket there were 850 Beasts, 90 direct from Ireland, and 20 from
the north. The quality of the stock was seasonably good.
There was a very good- attendance of buyers, which, coupled
with the small show, induced holders of Beasts to ask an ad-
vance upon last week's rates, which was acceded to ; and at the
close of the day a good clearance was effected. There was
again a brisk inquiry for Sheep and Lambs, and an advance of
nearly 4d. per lb. was realised for the former, at which nearly
all were sold. There was a considerable increase of Calves, for
which last week's rates were obtained.

through the cabin windows. All traces of fire being removed
and a strict watch kept on the hold in case of any reappearance
of it, the ship proceeded on her voyage, and arrived here on
Wednesday. No conjecture as to the cause of the fire can be
formed, the scuttle not having been open for three days previ-
ous to the occurrence. It is fortunate that it was discovered
so early, as a few hours longer would have enabled the fire to
obtain such a head as would have rendered the loss of the ship
inevitable. The greatest praise is due to Captain Simpson, his
officers, and crew, for their prompt and successful exertions in
this case, for had they, instead of acting as they did, attempted
to smother the fire, the ship and cargo would have in all pro-
bability been sacrificed, and, instead of the damage being
covered by a few pounds, the loss would have amounted to
many thousands.
