In the first five years given above it will be seen that beef was 
unusually low in price in this country, and that the rise in the 
value of the best Scots since 1852 has been Ihd. per lb. In 
1858, 1859, 18G0, and 18G1 the advance was even greater, 
arising in some measure from the wretchedly poor quality of the 
stock brought forward. Nearly the same remarks may be 
applied to sheep, the best of which can now scarcely be obtained 
under Gs. per 8 lbs. In 1851 the average value of the best 
Downs was only 4^. per 8 lbs. 
The following tables, which have been compiled to show the 
sources of these supplies, clearly indicate the progress made in 
breeding and feeding in various districts in England, as well as 
in Ireland and Scotland : —
