SMITHFIELD.

To-day's market was but moderately supplied with
foreign stock ; nearly the whole changed hands at improved
quotations.
There was a falling off in the arrivals of home-fed beasts,
at least tin se-fourths of which were in very middling and
inferior condition. As the attendance of both town and
country butchers was largo, the demand for all kinds of
beasts ruled active, at, in most instances, an advance in the
prices obtained on Monday last of 2d per 8 lbs. The best
lots sold readily at from 58 to 5s 2d per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,000 short horns; from other parts of
England, 400 of various kinds ; and, from Scotland, 61
horned and polled stots. The arrivals by sea from Ireland
last week were 85 beasts.
Compared with several previous Mondays, the supply of
sheep was but moderato. Generally speaking, the condi-
tion of most breeds was inferior. The trade was decidedly
firm, and in some instances the quotations had an upward
tendency. The general top figure for mutton was 5s per
81b.
A very limited number of calves was on offer. The veal
trade was brisk, at an improvement in the currencies of
Monday last of 4d per 81bs. The top figure was 5s 6d per
Sibs.
We had a good demand for pigs, at fully last week's
quotAiens.
Last week's import of foreign stock into London was
6,803 head. In the corresponding week in 1853 we received
8,574; in 1852, 4,873 ; in 1851, 7,036 ; in 1850, 6,191;
in 1849, 5,537 ; in 1848, 4,261; and in 1847, 3,193 head.

NEWGATE AND LEA DENHALL.
These markets are fairly supplied with both town and
country-killed meat ; but its general quality is inferior.
On the whole the trade is steady, and prices are well sup-
ported.
