The number to hand being in excess o£ the requirements of the trade, a slight reduction on last week's rates took ptace. We »o!d 25 head from Seadown. on account of Mr. S. Garforth,. at from L& 17s b'd to Ll.l 10s per head. We quote prime beef at fully 30s per 1001b-; medium do- at 25s to 27s 6d. Fat Calves.—Six yarded and sold at about lata quotations.
