We were heavily supplied with foreign beasts and calves;
but the number of sheep and lambs was by no means ex.
tensive.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from the northern grazing
districts were seasonably large, and of full average quality.
Notwithstanding that the attendance of buyers was good,
the beef trade was in a depressed state, at a decline in the
prices obtained on Monday last of 2d per Sibs. In some
instances, the quotations gave way 4d per 81bs, and a total
clearance was not effected. The extreme value of the
best Scots was 4s 10d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leices-
tershire, and Northamptonshire, we received 2,200 short
horns; from other parts of England, 800 of variona
breeds; and from Scotland, 160 horned and polled Scots.
We were rather heavily supplied with sheep, which, for
the most part, came to hand in good condition. A few
prime old Downs and of the best half•breds realised last
week's currency; but all other breeds of sheep were very
dull, and 2d per 81bs lower than on this day eel:might.
The supply of lambs was good. All breeds moved off
heavily, and prices gave way quite 2d per Sibs. The ex-
treme top quotation was 5s 8d per Ms.
Prime small calves were scarce, and held on former
terms. Inferior calves, the show of which, was large; were
very dull, and quite 2d per 81bs lower.
Pigs were in fair average supply, and heavy request, at
barely stationary prices.
The arrivals by sea from Ireland last week were 103
calves.

BOROUGH HOP.
Since our last this market has been excited, owing, to
the unfavourable advices from the plantations, and a con-
siderable advance has taken place in the quotations. Last
week's imports were 126 bales from Hamburgh, and 105
from Antwerp. The duty is called 45,0001. Price* were
as follows :—Mid and East Kent pockets, M. 11s to
15'. lis ; Weal l of Kent ditto, 11/. Os to 141. Os ; Sussex
ditto, 11/. Cs to 131. Os per cwt.
