For the time of year, the supply of foreign stock on sale
in to-day's market was tolerably good, and in fair average
condition.
From our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland,
the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were by no
Means extensive ; nevertheless, they were quite equal to
the wants of the butchers, most of whom purchased with
extreme caution, owing to the prevailing comparatively
high prices. On the whole, the beef trade ruled steady,
at last Monday's advance in the quotations. A few
superior Scots realised 4s 4d, but tho general top figure for
that breed was 4s 2d per 81bs.
The receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire, amounted to 1,800. Scots and short urns;
from other parts of England, 800 Herefords, runts, Devo,
&c. • and from Scotland, 620 Scots.
Although there was a slight increase in the arrivals of
sheep, the supply of that description of stock was very
limited, the time of year considered. For all breeds, the
demand was in a very inactive state, at a decline in prices
of 2d per 81bs. Prime Down sheep, in the wool, realised
5s 2d to, in some few instances, 5s 4d ; out of the wool,
4s 2d per 81bs.
Lambs—the supply of which was but moderate—moved
off slowly, at 58 4d to Os per 81bs.
We had only a moderate inquiry for calves, yet late
rates were supported. The primest veal sold at from 4s 4d
to 4s 8d per Sibs.
rigs moved off slowly ; but no change took place in the
quotations.

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.
Since our last report, the arrival of country-killed meat
up to these markets have been tolerably good, and in fair
average condition. To-day, the show of meat slaughtered
in the metropolis was but moderate, whilst the general de-
maud ruled steady, at very full prices.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

The arrivals of home-grown potatoes have been on a very
moderate scale, coastwise and by land carriage, whiist their
general quality has proved inferior. Since Monday last,
the imports have amounted to 95 tons from Rouen, 135
ditto from Dunkirk, 118 from Calais, and 4 bags from Rot-
terdam. The demand is in a sluggish state as follows :--
York Regents, 115 s to 155 s per ton ; Lincolnshi,:e do.,
955 to 1208; foreign, 953 to 110 s.

BOROUGH HOP.
During the past week, we have had an import of 40
bales from Antwerp, and 10 ditto from Ostend. The sup-
plies of English hops continue very limited, whilst the do-
wel* is in a sluggish state, as follows and East
Kent pockets, 95s to 160 s • Weald of Kent, 92s to 120 s ;
Sussex, 95s to 115 s per cam•

WOOL.
The supplies of English wool on sale continues very
limited, whilst the demend for all knids is steady, at very
full prices. Foreign and colonial parcels are in fair
last,
quest, at at late currencies. The imports, since our
have been only 77 bales from Hamburgh, and 14 from
Boulogne'. The ships lately arrived from Australia have
brought very small supplies of the article.
