METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
(THIS DAY.)
. . . . .

We have a larger supply of beasts, and trade is dull.
Prices for all kinds are lower, and several remain unsold.
There are only • few more sheep, but the demand has
considerably decreased. It is difficult to maintain
late prices for the most saleable descriptions,
and other kinds are lower. Lambs are now
selling at about the came price as sheep, we therefore
cease to quote them. Trade is dull for calves. Our
foreign supply consists of 2,210 beasts, 4,950 sheep, t 33
calves, and 4j pigs. From Scotland there are :10 beasts;
Ireland, 150 ; and 2,540 from the Northern and Midland
counties.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.—(THIS DAY.)
Menu. Pattenden and Smith report there is a cau-
tioned active demand for all descriptions of both English
and foreign, at an advance of fully ss. per cwt. on last
Monday'■ prices. The accounts this morning are very bad,
though, should the next week and fortnight prove warm
and foreleg, much might be done where the hops are not
already too far gone.

THE HARVEST IN THU ICAST.—Harvest operations
will be in full swing in the eastern district in about ten
days. In the neighbourhood of Halesworth wheat pro-
mises to be a fair although not a bulky crop. Barley on
I mixed and well-farmed soils in the earns district looks well,
bat on the strong soils the prospect is not so good, and an
'average crop is not anticipated, either as regards quantity
or quality. Beans are a fair crop, and peas are about an
average. In Norfolk wheats are strong and bulky, hut the
quality of the sample and the weight of the grain will
depend on the weather of the next month. Barleys have
somewhat improved, but are not expected to prove a liberal
cro_p_. Oats, beans, and peas will be a full average.

SQUARE, Crrr.—The aggregate number of patients relieved
