METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a full average supply of each kind of foreign
stock on sale in to-day's market, but its general quality was
very middling. Sales progressed slowly at about stationary

prices.

Cumpared with Monday last, the arrivals of beasts fresh
up from our own grazing districts were only moderate, but
they were quite equal to the demand. From Scotland the
receipts were seasonably good, viz., 462 Scots and erosses
from Fifeshiro and East-Lothian, and 196 from Aberdeen.
The show of Irish beasts were limited. All breeds met a
dull inquiry at last week's decline in the quotations--the
top figure being 4s Bil per 81bs, The quality of the stock
was good. A few grass fed beasts were on offer. From
Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received
2,000 Scots, crosses, and shorthorns ; from other parts of
England, 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 6.58 Scots and
crosses ; and from Irelaud, 80 oxen and heifers.
Tile show of sheep was seasonably good both as to num-
ber and quality. The mutton trade was in a sluggish state
at last Monday's currency. The general top pi ice for
I Downs and half-breds were 5s per 81bs. Good and prime
lambs were in steady request at full prices, Inferior lambs
were dull at late rates. Prices ranged from 6s to 7s per Sibs.
W e have to report a slow inquiry far calves—the supply
of which was moderate—at Thursday's decline in value.
The sale for pigs were very inaciive on former terms.

BOROUGH HOP.

The accounts at hand from the plantations today are
more favourable, and the hop trade, generally speaking, is
quiet. Good and fine English hops, however, are in fair
average request at full prices ; but interior produce is dull,

although wi,hout matt-Alai change in value from Monday
last. The imports last week amounted to three bales from
Boulogne and 75 bales from New York.
