Freeman R. Jackson and Co.'s Jolnisoilville Stock report: Rather above tlie average supply of beef was yarded yesterday, consisting .of bullocks and cows, With the exception of a large consignment of lightweight steers, the hillocks were an improvement upon late supplies, and were in good demand. The small steers met with little competition. The cows were a fairly good lot. The demand, however, was weak, and we wero compelled to pass the line in but succeeded in placing them afterward at a slight advance. The sheep pens held about tlie same us last week, and again were all wethors, chiefly of an uneven and inferior lot, Those showing any quality sold readily. No vealers or pigs came to'hand. Bullocks L<llss to L 5 7s (id averaging LB;.light steers unchanged, L 8 6s; cows L2 12s (id to L2lss. Sheep -Wethers, 13s fid to las -8d; small and light lis. Ox beef made 12s 6(1; inferior 10s; cow do 10s the 1001b respectively. Wether mutton 2fd per lb.
