SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 15

in
In our market of to day there was a slight increase the supply
of Beasts, but it was chiefly composed of the refuse of Monday,
Owing to the thin attendance of dealers, the Beef trade was in a
very depressed state, and previous rates were with difficulty sup-
ported. From Scotland we received 240 horned and polled Scots,
together with 150 Sheep, but only 120 of the former were brought
forward this morning. The number of Sheep was fair for the time
of year, while the sale for them was slow, and the highest figure
obtained for the best old Downs in their wool was 4s 8d per Sibs.
The receipts of Lambs were tolerably good, but of middling and
inferior quality. The Lamb trade was dull, but no depression was
noticed in the quotations. Owing to Calves being abundant, the
inquiry for them was heavy, at an abatement of 2d per Blbs. In
Pigs little was passing. Milch Cows moved off slowly, at from £l6
to .4'20 lOs each, including their small Calf. By the quantities of
81bs, sinking the offal.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 15

•
The active demand noticed yesterday again opened the
market this morning. There has been a fair attendance of
the trade, which, with the speculative enquiry, has caused a
business of about 6000 bales, one-half of which has been on
speculation account. Cotton continues to be freely offered,
and the market very firm, at the full prices of yesterday.
The weekly sales amount to 39,000 bales, of which 12,000
are placed to speculation account, and 2100 for export.

COTTON MARKET, APRIL 15,

This morning it was very evident, from the general inquiry, that
another large business would be done in Cotton, and from 7 to 8000
bales have been sold, about one half on speculation account The
large buyers of Thursday and Friday are still operating freely, so
that the speculative inquiry lies in a small compass. Prices
are tightning.
