We were tolerably well supplied with foreign stock to-
day. The demand for it ruled steady, at full urices.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were slightly on the increase, and in
improved cDndition. For all breeds, as the weather was
favourable for slaughtering, and as the attendance of buy-
ers was good, the demand ruled somewhat brisk, at fully
last Monday's advance in the quotations. The primest
Scots were worth quite 4s 6d per 81bs.
The arrivals from the northern grazing districts amounted
to 2,210 short horns, from other parts of England 580 of
various breeds, and from Scotland 72 Scots.

There was about an average supply of sheep on sale ;
but the general weight of most breeds was by no means
heavy. On the whole, the mutton trade was less active ;
but we have no change to notice in prices. The primest
old Downs were worth 5s 2d per Blbs.
Calves were in short supply, and steady request at Fri-
day's advance in prices of from 6d to 8d per 81bs. The
primest calves were worth 5s 4d per 81bs.
We had a slight improvement in the sale for pigs, the
prices of which had an upward tendency.

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

The supplies of each kind of meat on sale in those mar-
kets continue seasonably good. The general demand is
steady, and prices are well supported. The season for pork
has opened at a very high figure.

BOROUGH HOP.
As the growth of new hops both in Sussex and Kent is
represented as coming down light, the duty has declined
to 140,0001., and the demand for all kinds of hop is active.
New Weald of Dents, 9/. to 101. 55.; Sussex, 8/. to 91. per
cwt. Yearlings are very firm.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
The imports of potatoes, last week, were large, viz. :-
260 sacks from Boulogne, 125 sacks from Havre, 302 tons
from Rouen, 390 tons 367 sacks from Dunkirk, and 30 bags
from Antwerp. The supplies of English are good, but in
very middling condition. On the whole, a large business
is doing, as follows :—Shaws 105 s to 115 s; Regents, 120 s
to 140 s ; and foreign, 100 s to 110 s per ton.

WOOL.
Owing to the increased value of money, and the near
approach of the public sales, the business doing in this
market is trifling ; nevertheless, prices are supported. The
stocks are by no means large• bast week's imports were
224 bales from the Cape, 250 from Constantinople, 274
from Geelong, 26 from Leghorn, 1134 from Algoa Bay,
3890 from Port Philip, 932 from Bombay, and 217 from
Elambro'.
