Scarcely any foreign stock was on offer here to-day.
There was a slight increase in the arrivals of beasts fresh
up from our own grazing districts compared with Monday
last, and their general condition was very prime. Owing
to the unusual severity of the weather, and the decrease
in the consumption of food, arising from the want of em-
ployment amongst the labouring classes, the beef trade
was heavy, at a decline in the quotations of 2d. per 8 lbs.
The top figure for beef was 4s. Bd. per 8 lbs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk,
,Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 2,600 Scots and shorthorns; from ether parts of
England 400 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 200
horned and polled Scots.

Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was but mo-
derate, all kinds moved off slowly, at prices barely equal
to those of Monday last. The primest old Downs were
worth ss. per 8 lbs. There were about 300 clipped sheep
in the market.
The few calves en offer sold heavily at Friday's decline
in value of 6d. per 8 lbs. ,
There was a dull inquiry for pigs, on former terms. The
supply on offer was limited.

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.
Since our last report large supplies of veal have come to
hand, chiefly from the west of England. That description
of moat has sold heavily, at a decline of fully ld per 81bs.
Other kinds—the arrivals of which have been seasonably
good—have sold slowly, at our quotations.

BOROUGH HOP.
We have very few really fine hops on offer. The demand
for thorn is steady, and the quotations are well supported.
Low and middling kinds move off slowly, at barely sta-
tionary prices. ast week's imports were 110 bales from
Ostend. Mid and East Kent pockets,_ 141 lOs to 211 Os;
Weald of Kent ditto, 141 to 161; Sussex ditto, 141 Os to 151.;
Yearlings, 91 to 121; American ditto (in bond), 71 to 01 per
cwt.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Very moderate supplies of potatoes have come fresh to
hand since Monday last, yet full average quantities were
on offer. The general demand was by means active, on
the following terms :—York Regents, 105 s to 120 s; Kent
and Essex, 1003 to 105 s; Scotch do., 95s to 105 s ; reds, 80s
to 90s; middling, 65s to 755; blues, 75s to 85s; Lincolns,
95s to 1108, per ton.
