SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 28

Notwithstanding our market this morning was on the whole very
moderately supplied with Beasts, the fresh arrivals being chiefly
composed of 90 Scots by sea from Scotland, the demand for them
was in a sluggish state, but no variation took place in the quota-
tions. Prime old Downs, which were very scarce, sold freely at
full prices ; but in other kinds of Sheep next to nothing was passing,
yet a good clearance was effected. Very few Calves were brought
forward, owing to which the Veal trade was brisk at au advance of
2d per Sibs. For Pigs there was a steady demand at fully late rates.
Mitch Cows sold slowly, at from -t•ld to .e,l each, including their
smf,llCalf.
