The show of samples was tolerably good ; nevertheless, the
market opened with considerable firmness on the part of
the factors. Subsequently, the demand ruled steady.
Some very superior parcels realised 2s. per quarter more
money than on this day se'nnight. Secondary kinds were

The show of foreign wheat was far from extensive.
There was a good demand for most descriptions, and in

SMITHFIELD.
We were again heavily supplied with foreign stock, but
its quality was very inferior.
The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were considerably on the increase, compared with
Monday last. The general weight and condition of most
kinds was very satisfactory. The attendance of buyers
was far from extensive, and the demand for beef was in a
depressed state, at a decline in the quotations of 2d. per
lb., and a clearance was not effected. The top figure for
beef was 45.10 d. per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton.
shire, we received 2,600 short horns ; from other parts of
England, 600 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 17
horned Scots.

We were rather heavily supplied with most breeds of
sheep. Generally speaking, their condition was by no
means first-rate. The mutton trade ruled dull, at a de-
cline iu the currencies of 2d. per Sibs. We may observe,
however, that a few very inferior old Downs realised last
week's quotations.
There was a fair sale for calves, the supply of which WWI
but moderate, at Friday's advance of 2d per 81bs.
The demand for pigs ruled steady, at extreme rates. The
top figure was ss. per Sibs.
Last week's imports of foreign stock into London were
again moderate—the total supply amounting to 6,097 head.
In the corresponding week 1853 we received 12,452; in
1852, 8,660 ; in 1851, 6,618 ; in 1850, 7,352 ; in 1849,
5,092 ; in 1848, 3,800; and in 1847, 3,893 head.
