English Wheat from Essex were to good, and of
excellent quality. Those from Kent, Suffolk, Cam-
bridgeshire, &c., were very moderate. The starr!a were
fairly sappiied with sarrip!es of both red and white,
while the d, man :1 for ail descriptions ruled steady at
last Monday's quotations. Prior to the close of business
a good el: arunce had been effected. Most of the leading
millers appear to be scantily supplied with realy fine
English Wheats. The quantity of Foreign Wheat
t.aff,,ring was not to say large, conriderifg the late heavy
Importations. Selected parcels were in steady, though by
no means brisk, inquiry at the prices paid on this day
se'nnight. In the middling and damp qualities compa-
ratively little business was transacted at barely late rates.
Offers to ship Wheats at present rates continue to reach
us freely frcm Essex, Cambridgeshire, &c. Floating
cargoes of foreign were in fair rt quest, at ruling cur-
rencies. Really good Flour may now be imported from
Bordeaux and Nantes, at 34s per 2801bs, laid down here.
With English Barley we were very scantily supplied,
but the quantity of foreign was extensive. Grinding
and distilling sorts moved off steadily, at full rates of
currency. Malting samples were neglected. Notwith-
standing that the supply of Malt here and close at hand
was comparatively trifling, the sale for that article was
in a iery inactive state, at barely last week's quotations.
The total supply of Oats, including that from abroad,
was large. Fine sound Corn sold readily, at full prices.
Heated parcels ruled dull, and the turn in favour of the
buyers. The supply of Beans was moderate. Most
kinds were a slow sale, but not lower. In Peas very few
transactions were reported. Holders, however, were not
disposed to accept depressel currencies. Indian Corn
was held at very lull prices. There was more inquiry
fur Flour, both English and foreign, at fully the late
decline.

SMITIEWIET.D.
Notwithstanding that the value of stock has had an
upward tendency in this market during the last two or
three weeks, the imports of foreign stock into London
last week were but moderate for the time of ear, as
will be perceived on reference to the following state-
ment:— . _

The imports of foreign stock at Hull, &c., have some-
what fallen off. In to-day's market, the supply of Beasts
Sheep, and Calves from abroad, was but moderate as to
number, and of very middling quality. Sales were with
difficulty effected at considerably reduced prices. Wa
had an unusually large time•of-year supply of home-fed
Beasts on offer this morning, viz., upwards of 5,000
head. With very few exceptions, this is the largest
number on record for the month of September. The
general quality of the Beasts was by no means first. rate.
As might be expected, the Beef trade ruled excessively
heavy, at a decline in the prices of Monday last of from
2d to 4d per 81bs. The highest figure for the best Scots
was only 3s 8d per Blbs, and at which, a clearance wee
not effected. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicester•
shire, and Northamptonshire amounted to nearly 1,800
short horns; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire, 900 Scots and short horns, from the western
and midland counties, 700 Herefords. runts, Devons, Stc.,
and from other parts of England 600 of various breeds.
The numbers of Sheep were again extensive, and of full
average quality. The heaviness in the Beef trade had
considerable influence upon that for Mutton, which ruled
dull, and prices suffered a fall of 2d per 81bs. The best
old Downs were quoted at only 4s per Sibs. At the
close of the market a large number of Sheep was turned
out unsold. The " season" for Lamb having been
brought to close, we have discontinued to quote that
description of stock. We had a full average supply of
Calves on show. All kinds of Veal were heavy, at
barely last week's quotations. Neat small Porkers were
held for rather more money. In other kinds of Pigs
very little was doing.

NEVIGATEL AND LEADENEALL.

Ink the offal.

Several arrivals of country killed Meat, in all about
700 carcases, have taken place for these markets during
the past week; yet the aggregate supplies offering have
been very moderate, the time of y ear considered. Prime
Beef, Mutton, and Pork have commanded a steady sale,
at full rates of currency. In all other kinds of Meat very
little business has been transacted. About 1,000 carcases
of foreign Meat have found buyers.

BOROUGH HOP IVE.A.HECET.
Since the commencement of picking, nearly 3,500
pockets of new Hops have arrived here in good con-
dition. The demand for them is very inactive, but a
few transations have been reported at from 41 4s to 81
per cwt., according to quality. At those prices the
brewers act cautiously. The plantation accounts are by
no means favourable as respects a large growth, and the
duty is called about 90,0001. In yearling and old Hops
so little is doing that it is difficult to quote figures with
accuracy.
BOROUGH AND SPITAXXXELDS.
Since our last report the imports of Potatoes from
abroad have been confined to 55 sacks from Havre, 727
bags from Rotterdam, and 39 sacks from Dunkirk. The-
supplies of home-grown Potatoes offering are smaller
than for some time past, hence the demand for them is
steady, at somewhat improved currencies. Regent's are
quoted at 31 los to 51 ss, Shaw's 31 101 to 41 15s, and
White Kidneys 41 to 515 s per ton. The general quality
of the Potatoes continues very good, and our accounts
from the leading districts are favourable.
WOOL.
Although the public sales have now been continued
for nearly ten days, a large quantity of Wool has yet to
be brought forward. The auctions progress satisfac-
torily, most of the parcels offered having changed hands
at full prices. Privately, scarcely any business is doing.
Last week's imports were again liberal, viz., 61 bags
from Hamburgh, 206 bales from America, 182 ditto
from Islay, 8 from Ostend, 49 from Amsterdam, 11 from
Prince Edward's Island, 4 from Leghorn, 135 from
Buenos Ayres, 644 from the Cape, 3,179 from Port
Philip, 10 from Malta, 12 from Rio, G 9 from Bombay,
112 from Adelaide, 21 from Jamaica, 244 from Gib-
raltar, 522 from Algoa Bay, 815 from Port Elizabeth,
1,739 from Sydney, and 2 bags from Oporto.
TALLOW.
Owing to the increasing stock, our market still conti-
nues heavy. During last week upwards of 9,000 casks
arrived, chiefly from Russia, and the supply in ware-
house is now 34,079 casks. Prices to-day rule from 3d
to 6d per cwt lower than on Monday last. P.Y.C. on
the spot is selling at 375 6d to 375, and for forward deli-
very 37s per cwt. Town Tallow, 37s per cwt net cash;
rough fat, 2s lid per 811). Letters from St. Peters-
burgh represent the trade there as very inactive.
