SMITHFIELD.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was very
extensive, but wo observed no improvement in its quality.
We were again heavily supplied with home-fed beasts,
yet at least a moiety of them were beneath the middle
quality. The few fine breeds on offer were, therefore, in
good request at fully last Monday's currency, the top
figure for Scots being 4s 10.1 per 81bs. ; otherwise the beef
trade was in a sluggish state, yet we have no actual
change to notice in prices.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 1,903 short horns ; from other parts of
England; 550 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 20
horned and polled Scots.
There was a material falling off in the supply of sheep
compared with Monday last. The demand for all kinds
was, therefore, steady at prices fully equal to those of last
week.
We were moderately supplied with calves in which ,
about an average business was transacted at Friday's im-
provement in value.
Pigs commanded rather morel attention at full quota.
tions. The supply was modery good.
The arrivals of stock direct by sea from Ireland, last
week, were 77 beasts and 78 pigs.
Last week's imports of foreign stock into London were
again moderate—the total supply amounting to 8,002 head.
In the corresponding week f 853 we received 11,417; in
1852, 8,202 ; in 1851, 6,911 ; in 1850, 7,8)0; in 1849,
4,698 ; in 1848, 5,056 and in 1847, 3,471 head.
