fairly sappiled with samples of both red t.taLif
and white,
while the dein4nd for all descriptions ruled steady at
last Monday's quotations. Prior to the close of business
a good clearance had been eff,.eted. Most of the leading
raillars appear to be setaltliy supplied with Teals; fine
En lisp Wheats. The qaanti:y of Foreign Wheat
offering was not to say large, contielerittg the late heavy
importations. Selected parcels were in etealy, though by
no means Lrislr, inquiry at the prices paid on this day
se'iaeight. In the middling and damp qualities contra-
ra.ively little lusiness was transacted at barely late rates.
Offers to ship Wheats at present rates continue to reach
us freely from Essex, Cambridgeshire, &c. Floating
cargo=es of foreign were in fair rk quest, at ruling cur-
rencies. ltaally good Flour may now be imported from
Bordeaux and Nantes, at 341 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 tt cry 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. Meat
kinds were a slow sale, but not lower. In Peas very few
transactions were reported. Holders, however, were not
disposed to accept depressed currencies. Indian Corn
was held at very full prices. There was more inquiry
for Flour, both English and foreign, at fully the late
decline.

Notwithstanding that the value of stock has had an

last week were but moderate for the time of year, as

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. bales were with
difficulty effected at considerably reduced prices. We
had an unusually large time-of•year supply of home-fed
Beasts on offer this morning, viz., upwards of 5,000
had. With vezy 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 exce!sively
heavy, at a decline iu the prices of Monday last of from
211 to 43 per Sibs. The highest figure for the best Scots
was only 3s 8d per Sibs, and at which, a clearance was
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, &c.,
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 fcr Mutton, which ruled
dull, and prices suffered a fall of 2d per 81bs. The best
old Downs were quoted at only 4s per 811 as. 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.

NEVJGATII AND LEADETCHA.X.Z.
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 year 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.

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 trausations havo been reported at from 41 4s to 8/
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 90,000 i. In yearling and old Hops
so little is doing that it is difficult to quote figures with
accuracy.
^. AND SPITAIXII7.7..DS.
Since our last report the imports of Potatoes from
abroad have been confined to 55 sucks 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
at somewhat improved currencies. Regent's are
quoted at 31 103 to 51 ss, Shaw's 31 10; to 4/ 15s, and
-White Kidneys 4/ to 515 s per ton. The general quality
of the Potat.,es 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 broucht forward. The auctions progress satisfac-
torily, most of the parcels offered having changed hands
at full prices. Privately, scarcely any bu,iness is doing.
Last week's imports were again liberal, viz„ 61 bags
from ILanburgh, 206 bales from America, 182 ditto
from Islay, S from Ostend, 49 from Amsterdam, 11 from
Prince Edward's Island, 4 from Leghorn, 135 from
Buenos Ayres, 644 from the Cape, 3,170 from Port
Philip, 10 from Malta, 12 from Rio, 60 from Bombay,
112 from Adclaide, 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 31
to 6d per cwt lower than on Monday last. P.Y.C. on
the spot is selling at 37s 6d to 375, and for forward deli-
very 375 per cwt. Town Tallow, 37s per cwt net cash;
rough fat, 2s I,lnl per 811 r. Letters from St. Peters-
burgh represent the trade there as very inactive.
