To-day's market was very extensively supplied with
oreign stock, in wretched condition.
There was a decided falling off in the arrivals of home-
fed beasts fresh up this morning, and their general quality
was inferior. The primest -breeds moved off steadily, at
an advance in the prices of Monday last of 2d per 81bs.
Otherwise, the beef trade was tolerably firm, and previous
rates were well supported.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,600 short horns; from other parts of
England, 600 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. No arrivals
from Scotland.

The supply of sheep was considerably less than on Mon-
day last ; hence, there was an improved demand for most
breeds, and, in some instances, late rates were rather ex-
ceeded. A few prime old Downs realised 5s 2d per 8 lbs.
Calves, the number of which was limited, moved off
briskly, at an improvement in value of 4d per 8 lbs.
We had a moderate inquiry for pigs, the prices of which
were well supported.

BOROUGH HOP.
Since our last report, the show of hops has been small
for the time of year, and the accounts from the plantations
have stated that the growth is a very limited one. The
demand has ruled active, at the following quotations :
New- Mid and East Kent pockets, 141. 14s to 191. Od ;
new Weald of Kent ditto, 11/. Us to 131. 13s ; and new
Sussex ditto, 101. to Ili. us per cwt. Yearling old hops
are. again dearer. The imports have been 386 bales from
Ostend, 8 from Ghent, 216 from Hambnrgh, 88 from
Antwerp, and 29 from Rotterdam.
