METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

From Lincolnshire. Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shii e, we received 2,260 short horns, &c., from other parts
of England, 800 various breeds; from Scotland, 25 Scots;
and from Ireland, 670 oxen and heifers.
We were again fairly supplied with sheep, the general
quality of which was good. The best Downs and half
breeds moved off slowly, and, in some few instances, prices
advanced 2d per 81b., otherwise the mutton trade was firm,
at full currencies. A few superior Downs realised 58. 8d
per 8:b.

Calves moved off slowly, and Thursday's advance in
prices was not supported. The highest quotation was 4s.
6d. per 81b.

The pork trade was in a sluggish state, at about lase
week's prices.

The supply of town and country-killed meat is moderate.
For beef and mutton there is a steady demand, and prices
are well supported. Veal, excepting the primest quality
as well as pork, is dull.

_ll HOP.
The trade for fine new English hops continues firm, and
prices are steadily supported. Inferior qualities, however,
with which tho market is well supplied, are a dull inquiry,
and in order to effect sales factors aro compelled to accept
lower prices. The import into London last week was 46
bales from Ostend, 318 Hamburg, 154 Rotterdam 170
Antwerp, 253 Boulogne, and 22 Dunkirk. ,

There was a full average time of year supply of foreign
beasts on offer in our market to-day. The show of foreign
sheep was good, both as to number and quality. The
number of calves was by no means extensive.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts were seasonably extensive, but their general quality
was very middling. Prime breeds commanded a steady
sale, at fully last Monday's currencies, the top figures
being ss. per 81b. Second qualities of beef were steady,
and quite as dear as last week; but inferior kinds were
much neglected. In prices, however, no quotable change
took plane.
