NEAVGATE AND LEADENHALL.
Full average supplies of meat were on sale here to-day.
Good and prime beef and mutton sold steadily at very full
prices; but inferior qualities were in slow request on for-
mer terms. Veal changed hands slowly at our quotations.
Pork was very dull, and 4d per 81bs lower than on Monday
last,

BOROUGH HOP.
There has been a great want of animation in the hop
trade since we last wrote. Good and fine English qualities,
as well vs the finest samples of produce, have changed
a moderato extent at our quotations ; otherwise, the
market has exhibited considerable heaviness. Last
week's import was 16 bales from Antwerp, 62 Ostend,
253 Hamburg, 60 Dunkirk, 40 Boulogne, 63 Rotterdam,
356 Bremen, 806 pockets and 1,080 bales from New York.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
The supply of home-grown potatoes is large, and the
market is well supplied with foreign produce. For all de
scriptions the trade is in a sluggish state, and a further
decline has taken place in the quotations.

last, has ruled quiet, on former terms.

supported, St. Petersburg Y.C. being quoted at 45s 6d per
cwt., on the spot ; •and 46s for January to March delivery.
