We were very extensively supplied with foreign stock
to-day The demand for it ruled heavy, and prices had a
downward tendency.
The arrival of beasts fresh up to-day from our own
grazing districts were seasonably good, and in somewhat
improved condition. The attendance of country buyers
being less numerous than for some time past, the beef
trade was in a sluggish state, at last Monday's currencies,
the advance of 2d. per 8 lbs. on Friday last being lost. The
top quotations for beef was 4s. 4d. per 8 lbs., yet a few
very superior Scots were worth a trifle more.
From the northern grazing districts, we received 1,800
short-horns ; from other parts of England, 800 of various
kinds ; and from Scotland, 280 horned and polled Scots.
The rumbers of sheep were tolerably extensive, but their
general condition was by no means first-rate. Prime Downs,
which were scarce, commanded full prices, viz., 4s. 10d. to
ss. per 8 lbs. ; but all other kinds moved off slowly, at a
declire of 2d. per 8 lbs.
There was a full average supply of lambs on offer, and
which met a very dull inquiry, at 4d. per 8 lbs. less money
than on this day se'nnight.
Prime small calves realised full currencies. Otherwise,
the veal trade ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices.
In pigs very little was doing. In the quotations, how-
ever, no change took place.

plied with each kind of meat. Beef, mutton, and veal
have sold freely at very full prices ; but lamb has fallen

some time past.

BOROUGH HOP.

As the accounts from the plantations are considered
favourable, the demand for all kinds of hops is heavy, and
prices are drooping. The vine is fast coming into burr.
Last week's imports were 38 bales from Hamburgh, and
61 ditto from Antwerp. The following are the quotations :
Mid and East Kent pockets, 126 s to 180 s ; Weald of Kent
ditto, 115 s to 128 s; and Sussex ditto, 112 s to 124 s
per cwt.
