SMITHFIELD.

The supply of foreign stock in to day's market was com-
paratively small, and in very infe
districts there was
falling off in the arrivals of beasts, at least two-thirds of
which were beneath the middle quality, indeed this was
one of the worst supplies we almost ever witness
led br isk,ed. The
attendance of buyers being good, the beef trade ru
at an advance in the quotations of fully 2d. per Bibs. The
primest lots sold freely at ss. per 81bs.
The receipts of beasts trom Lincolnshire, Leicester-
shire, and Northamptonshire, amounted
Ito 1,800 short
horns ; from other parts of England,of v
breeds ; and from Scotland, 20 horned and polled Scots.
There was a decrease in the supply of sheep ; neverthe-
Jess the demand for all breeds was in a sluggis state, at
last' Monday's currency.
We were rather scantily supplied with calves, for which
the inquiry was inactive, and, in some instances, te qwas
uo-
tations had an upward tendency. The top figure
4s. Bcl. per Sibs.
The sale for pigs was steady, on former terms.
Last week's import of foreign stock into London was
very moderate—the total supply amounting to 3,289 head.
In the corresponding week in 1853 we received 8,787 ; in
1852, 10,058 ;in 1851, 6,688 ;in 1850, 9,330 in 1849,
6,527 ; in 1818, 4,301 ; and in 1847, 4,980 head.

NEIVGATE AND LEADENHALL.
The supplies of each kind of moat on sale in these
markets are seasonably good, but their general quality is
inferior. in most kinds a full average business is doing
at our quotations. About 4,000 carcasses of meat arrived
from the country last week.

BOROUGH HOP.
The large supplies of foreign hops on sale here havo pro-
duced much inactivity in the demand for all English
qualities, and pi ices have a downward tendency. New
hops may be quoted as follows :—Mid and East Kent pockets,
17/ los to 211 Os ; Weald of Kent ditto, 17/ 5s to 181 103 ;
Sussex ditto, 161 16s to 18/ Os per cwt. Last week's im-
ports into London were 221 bales from Ostend, ,128 from
Hamburg, 167 from Antwerp, 45 from Dunkirk, and 11
from Calais.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Since this day se'nuight the arrivals of potatoes have
been steadily on the increase ; but the imports of foreign
have been only 6 barrels from Bremen and 20 baskets from
Amsterdam. A full average business is doiag in all kinds,
at full prices. Regents, 80s to 955; middlings, Ws to 65s ;
Shaws, 75s to 85s; Blues, 803 to 85s per ton.
