The above figures show that prime stock has, this year, been 
very firm in price ; but that a decline has taken place in the 
value of inferior animals, caused by the very middling condition 
in which they were exhibited. 
The total imports of foreign stock into London have amounted 
to 112,790 head, against 248,212 in 1867, being a decline of 
135,422 head. The following Table shows the ports from
