The imports of foreign stock into the Unit-d limg-
dom during the first two months of 1850, 1851, and
1852, were thus:—

1850. 1851. 1852.
Oxen
Cows
Calves
Sheep
Lambs ll
Pigs
The general condition of the stock imported this year
has not exhibited any signs of improvement; but we un•
deratand that numbers of very superior Beasts, Sheep,
and Calves will be forwarded from Holland within the
next three or four months. The heavy losses sustained
by the Pigs hitherto shipped to this market will, no
doubt, tend to check shipments in future. Our market,
to-day, exhibited but moderate supplies of foreign stock,
in, for the most part, middling condition. From our
own grazing districts, the receipts of Boasts fresh up
this morning were much smaller than those reported on
Monday last; nevertheless, they were extensive, the time
of year considered, and in full average
condition. The attendance of both town
and country butchers being small, and New.l
gate and Leadenhall extensively supplied, the Beef
trade was in a very inactive state, at last week's decline
in the quotations. The extreme value of the best Scots
was 3s 4d per Sibs, and a total clearance was not effected.
The Bullock arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire, amounted to 2,160 Short-hcrns and
Scots; from other parts of England 700 IL refirds,
Runts, Devuns, &c., and from Scotland 500 horned and
polled Scott, mostly per railway. Notwithstanding that
the numbers of Sheep were on the decrease, the demand
for that description of stock was inactive, though some-
what firmer than on this day se'uni,.,e-ht. In file curren-
cies of each breed no change took -place; but we must
observe that the.top figure for Dawes in the wool was
4s 2d, out of the wool 33 Gd per Sibs. At least two-
thirds of the Sheep were shorn. From the Isle of
Wight 80 Lambs came to hand, and which sold at from
4i 8d to 5s per Bibs, Prime Down qualities realized
from 53 Gd to 6i per Bibs, with a moderato inquiry.
Prime small Calves sold at late rates. All other kinds
of Veal were very slow in sale, yet we cannot call them
lower. The Pork trade was very dull, at prices barely
equal to those of Monday last.

fresh to hand, coastwise and by railway, in excellent
condition. The imports were 66 tons from Nantes, and
a few barrels from Ireland. The demand continues
heavy, and late rates are with difficulty supported.
