ford, Norwich, and Salford, no particulars of the prices 

 which they realised were furnished. 



From thirteen of the twenty-one scheduled places sufficient 

 information is forthcoming to enable a record of the prices of 

 fat cattle to be calculated, although in two instances, 

 Leicester and Perth, the returns are seriously defective. The 

 average at each of the markets thus selected appears to 

 have been, in the three months under review, as shown in 

 the following statement : —

London and Perth would appear to have returned the 

 highest price (37s. 6d. per cwt., or 4s. 8^d. per stone) for 

 prime quality cattle, the lowest (34s. per cwt., or 4s. 3d. per 

 stone) being recorded for Leeds. In the category of second 

 quality cattle, Perth and Falkirk furnish a quotation of 

 35s. 8d. per cwt. (4s. 5-Jd. per stone), the price at Leeds 

 being again lowest with 29s. iod. per cwt. (3s. 8fd. per stone). 

 The information as regards the inferior grade is imperfect in 

 detail. 



Comparing the prices above-mentioned with those returned 

 for the corresponding quarter of last year, the following 

 results appear : —
