The supplies of London-killed meat on offer in our
markets are seasonably extensive, and of very superior
quality. The pact week's arrivals from the provinces
have consisted of 600 carcasses of Beef, 1,500 ditto of
Mutton, 250 ditto of Veal, and 3,100 ditto of Pork—the
latter chiefly by railway from the West of England. A
few baskets of meat have arrived from the continent.
Although the butchers have purchased largely, the
trade, owing to the immense quantities of meat brought
forward, and the heaviness in the demand at Smithfield,
has ruled dull. Veal has mostly found buyers, at full
prices; but the value of all other kinds of meat has not
been supported. Nearly 800 carcasses of foreign meat
have been on sale.

BOROUGH BOP ATARICET.
Since our last report there has been a slight improve-
ment in the demand for the best samples of Hops of last
year's growth. In prices, however, we have no advance
to notice. Old and inferior new Hops command very
little attention at low rates of currency. The supply of
the latter qualities still exceeds the wants of the brewers.
On speculation nothing doing. New Hops—Sussex
pockets, 214 s to 2/ 18s; Weald of Kent ditto, 21 10s to
3165; Mid old East Kent ditto, 31 3s to 61 per cwt.
BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Rather an increased supply of Potatoes, in but
middling condition, has been received at the water-side,
coastwise, since Monday last. The foreign importations
have been heavy, they having comprised 925 bags 36
baskets from Rotterdam; 488 sacks, 443 baskets, 299
tons from Calais; 44 tons from Dunkirk; 266 bags from
Antwerp; 4 casks from Hamburgh; 394 tons from
Rouen; 42 ditto from Gravelines; 289 ditto from Havre;
and 80 ditto from Jersey. 'Further large supplies are
close at hand from the Continent. The best qualities
are in moderate request, at full prices; but most other
kinds may be had on somewhat lower terms. Present
rates as under:—Yorkshire Regents, 100 s to 150 s per
ton; Newcastle, 100 s to 120 s; Scotch, 1003 to 130 s;
ditto Cups, 90s to 1005; French Whites, 80s to 955; Bel-
gian, 808 to 100 s; Dutch, 80s to 955.
WOOL.

The public sales of colonial Wool held in the metro-
polis since our last have continued to be extremely well
attended both by English and foreign buyers. Up to
the present time about 15,000 bales have been disposed
of, the best qualities at a rise in the quotations paid at
the preceding auctions of from 2id to 3d per lb. The
middling and inferior kinds must be quoted lid to quite
2d per pound higher. There is very little doubt but
that the whole of the remaining parcels will find pur-
chasers. Judging from the accounts which continue to
reach us from the manufacturing districts—where the
stocks of wool are unusually low—it is tolerably evident
that a decided impetus will be shortly given to the value
of home grown Wool, which could scarcely be checked
eve❑ by the declaration of additional public sales of
colonial. The imports during the week have amounted
to 13 bales from Hamburgh, 130 ditto from the Cape, 2
ditto from Marseilles, 1,780 ditto from South America,
and 737 ditto, from Algoa Bay. An improved business
is doing privately, and prices have an upward tendency.
The following are the nearest prices of English:—
South Down hogged, 10id to 134 d; half-bred ditto, lid
to 12id; ewes' clothing, 10d to I lid; Kent fleeces, 101 d
to I Id; combing skins, lid to I Id; flannel ditto, 9d to
13}d; blanket ditto, 6d to 12d.
