We had rather an extensive show of foreign stock in
to-day's market, but its general quality was inferior.
From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were moderate, and, for the most
part, light in weight. The fine prime Scots and short
horns on offer changed hands at full prices ; but all other
breeds of beasts were dull in sale, and quite 2d per 81bs
lower than on this day sen'night. Great difficulty was
experienced in effecting a clearance. The arrivals of beasts
from Lincolnshire, Liecestershire, and Northamptonshire I
amounted to 1,750 short horns ; from other parts of Eng-
land, 1)00 of various breeds ; and, from Scotland, 130
horned and polled Scots.
We were well supplied with sheep, at least a moiety of
which were beneath the middle quality. Prime old Downs
and the best half- breds were in fair request, at full quota-
tions. Otherwise, the mutton trade was heavy, at a fall
in value of 2d per 81bs.
Lambs—the show of which was moderately good, moved
off slowly, at Friday's decline of 2d per Blbs.
Tho supply of calves was extensive, but mostly inferior.
The veal trade was heavy, at 2d per Blbs less money.
Pigs were very dull, and the quotations were almost
nominal.
The arrivals of stock by sea from Ireland, last week,
were only 3 beasts.

The amount of business doing in our market is very
moderato ; nevertheless, prices are well supported in
every instance. The plantation accounts are very unfa-
vourable. In the duty nothing is doing. Last week's
imports were 207 bales from Hamburgh, 51 from Ostend,
5 from Rotterdam, 109 from Antwerp, 6 from Ireland,
and 10 from New York. The quotations to-day were
as follows :—Mid and East Kent pockets, 11/. lls to
15/. bs ; Weald of Kent ditto, 111. Os to 11/. Os ; Sussex
ditto, 11/. Os to 13/. Os per cwt.
