NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.
The supply of meat, both town and country-killed, on sale
at these markets is but moderate. For all descriptions the
demand rules steady, and in some instances a slight ad-
vance has taken place in prices.

BOROUGH HOP.
A steady consumptive business is passing in most kinds
of English hops, and previous quotations are fully sup-
ported. In foreign qualities sales progress steadily, and
prices rule firm. Advises from the plantations report that
poling is in a forward state, and that the bine looks
healthy and strong. Last week's imports amounted to 679
bales from Dunkirk, 13 from Hamburg, 10 Rotterdam, 21
Boulogne, and 360 pockets from Guernsry. The parcels
recently arrived from the latter place are stated to have been
previously exported there in order to evade the payment of
the duty.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Large supplies of borne-grown potatoes continue on sale
at these markets, but the show of foreign produce is very
moderate. The trade for all descriptions rules quiet, and
in some instances prices have slightly declined. The im-
port last week was 19 bags from Dordt, 90 unkirk, 46
Rotterdam, 4 sacks Brussels, 62 Boulogne, and 2 casks from
ordeaux.

WOOL. ~
Notwithstanding the further reduction in the Bank rate

of discount, the public sales of colonial wool have com-
menced heavily, and prices have given way id to lid per lb.
The fall is greatest in Sydney and Port Philip wools, the
reduction in Cape qualities scarcely averaging id per lb.
The arrivals since last auctions are very large, and com-
prise,—

The attendance of home buyers has been large, and French
houses, who have already purchased to a moderate extent,
have been well represented. For America, scarcely any
business has as yet been done. The following prices have
been realised :--Sydney and Queensland—Clean sheep's, is
6d to 2s 51d ; scoured, is 41d to 2s Old ; lamb, is 7d ;
locks and pieces, 9id to is 71d. Port Philip—Clean

SEEDS.
Cloverseed and trefoil are tolerably firm in price ; but the
demand for both articles rules inactive. Linseed and rape-
seed may be considered steady. Other seeds, however, are
a slow sale. In cakes a moderate business is doing, at
previous rates.
