London, England, 1854-12-04 00:00:00

We were fairly supplied with both English and foreign
barley, and the trade for all descriptions was heavy at 2s
per quarter beneath the prices obtained on Monday last.
In malt very little was doing, and the rates had a down-
ward tendency.
The supply of oats was large, and trade ruled heavy, at
a decline of from 6d to is per quarter.
Beans—the show of which was tolerably good, reeved
off slowly, at barely last week's currency.
The demand for peas was heavy, and late rates were
with difficulty supported.
We had a very dull inquiry for flour, at barely last
Monday's prices.

SMITHFIELD.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was very
moderate, and greatly out of condition.
From our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland
and Scotland, the arrivals of beasts were on the increase,
and, for the most part, of fair average weight. Although
the attendance of butchers was tolerably good, the beef
trade was in a sluggish state, and, in some instances, the
quotations gave way 2d per Sibs. A few very superior
Scots realised 5s 2d, but the top general figure for beef was
os per Sib.
The bullock arrivals from Lincolnshire and Leicester-
shire amounted to 2,100 short horns ; from other parts
of England, 300 of various breeds ; front Ireland 460
beasts ; and from Scotland, 260 horned and polled Scots.
We were well supplied with sheep. Prime downs and
half-breds were in moderato request, at last week's cur-
relay. Long woolled sheep moved off slowly, and the quo-
tations were the turn in favour of buyers.

The supply of calves was but moderate. On the whole,
the veal trade ruled steady, at last week's prices.
There was only a dull inquiry for pigs, at barely last
Monday's quotations.
Last week's imports of foreign stock into London were
5,689 head. In the corresponding week in 1853 we received
5,612; in 1852, 3,8'24 ; in 1851, 6,593 ' - in 1850, 5,703 ;
in 1849, 4,511; in 1818, 5,155; and in 1847, 1,913 head.
