To-day's market was but moderately supplied with
foreign stock, the general quality of which was inferior.
From our own •ng districts the receipts of beasts put
up this morning were tolerably extensive as to numbers,
but very deficient in weight and condition. Notwithstand-
ing that the weather was unfavourable for slaughtering, all
breeds of beasts commanded a ready sale, at an advance in
the • no rations paid on Monday last of 2d per 81bs, and a
t^:al de trance was effected. A few very superior lots were
MASS a, 4s 2d, but the general top figure for beef was 4s
pct. B.os.
From Lincolnshire Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 2,800 shorthorns ; from other parts of
England 600 of various breeds, and from Scotland 90 horned
and polled Scots.
The numbers of sheep were very moderote, the time of
year considered. The butchers purchased all breeds some-
what freely, and the currencies improved 2d per 81bs. The
Frimest old Downs readily produced 4s Gd per Blbs. Other
breeds in proportion.
Calves, the supply of which was limited, sold steadily at
late rates.
The pork trade ruled firm, but no change took place in
Pricc s.

Since our last report, the demand for each kind of meat
—the arrivals of which from the provinces have exceeded
9,000 carcases—has ruled very inactive, but we have no
"allge to notice in prices. Thd general quality of the beef
11 offer is very middling. From Homburgh four baskets
o meat have been reported.

THE SPECULATIVE MANIA.—The accounts of the Bank
of Prance, for the past month, again indicate the effects
of the speculative mania. The October statement
showed a decrease of 800,000/. in the bullion, and there
is now a further falling off of 1,50(1,000/. On the other
hand, the advances on French stock and railway shares
Present an increase of 1,600,0001. In the bills dis-
counted, which increased 1,000,0001. in October, there
has also been a further addition of 800,9001.
