FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
Trade in the British markets for

is, and State shippers are sending for

More droves came to market this
week as pressing farm work wasg.fin-
ished. They brought a good supply of
stock. which sold readily at about the
previous range Of prices, some slight
concessions eing recorded in a few
grades. Beef cattle We're in good sup
ply, and the choicest oxen and steers
brought from 6h to nc. a pound
High grade cattle sold from 51a to &c.

sheep and lambs, few of which are
brought to the yards. Spring lambs
