 There was a few more Reasts at market, and trade certainly

 much lower. A clearance could not be effected of inferior 

 qualities. The number ot Sheep a full average; trade very 

 slow, and it was with difficulty that late quoiauens were 

 realised. Calves not much in demand ; prices on the average 



lower. From Holland ami G^rmanv there were 65$ Beasts,
