There was rather an extensive supply of foreign stock on
sale here to-day, but its general quality was very inferior.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up today were but moderate. In their general con-
dition, however, we observed a slight improvement. Tne
primest breeds moved off steadily, ,at prices quite equal to
those obtained on Monday last ; otherwise the beef trade
was in a sluggish state, and the ourzencies were barely
supported.
The bullock supply from Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire,
&e., amounted to 1,100 Shorthorns ; from Norfolk 300
Scots ; from o';her parts of England 400 of various kinds,
and from. Scotland 130 Scots.

were bni., moderately supplied with sheep in, for the
most part, middling condition. The demand, however, for
all breeds was in a sluggish state, and, in some instances,
prices had a downward tendency. The top figure for
Dowr3 was ss. per 81bs.
Lambs, the supply of which was by no means extensive,
moved off slowly, at a decline of from 2d. to 4d.
per 81bs.
We had rather a slow inquiry for calves, at barely
late prices.
Pigs sold heavily, at barely late rates.

BOROUGH HOP.

Although rather more business has been tr ,nsacted in
hops of the growth of 1854, no improvement has taken
place in the quotations, which rule 71. to M. per cwt.
Very favourable accounts continue to reach us from the
plantations, and the duty is called 270,000/. to 280,000 t.
No foreign hops arrived last week.
