As the principal cattle-shipping ports in Holland are now
closed, the imports of foreign stock for some time hence
will, doubtless, be small. Still, however, as the home
supplies are on the increase, both in number and quality,
we do not anticipate any decided improvement in value.
As we showed last week, the arrivals of foreign stock
into the United Kingdom during 1848 were less than
those of 1847, by upwards of 20,000 he-ad. We should
not be surpri3ed to find an equal decline in them this
season, as we have every reason to expect heavy receipts
of both Beasts and Sheep from Norfolk and the other
eastern grazing districts. The fact is the foreign graziers
have not derived that amount of benefit from our mar-
kets they were led to anticipate, and nothing but com-
paratively high prices here will form an inducement for
them to ship largely. The number of foreign stock in
to. day's market, as will be s( en by the annexed return,
was limited, even for the time of year, and of very in-
:crier quality. The Beasts and Sheep sold somewhat
freely, at a trifle more money, but Calves were much
neglected. With home-fed Beasts we were very scantily
supplied this morning, the result, doubtless, of the low
prices lately obtained here for that description of stock,
and which have induced many of the leading graziers to
refrain from forwarding their stock at the present mo-
ment, and their quality exhibited a material falling off.
Although the attendance of buyers was not to say large,
the Beef trade was firm, at an advance in the quotations
realised on Monday list of quite 2d per 81bs. A few
very superior sorts sold at 4s ; but the more general
top figure was 4s 2d per 81bs. There was a considerable
off in the numbers of Sheep, there being a deft,.•
ciency of about 5,000 head compered with last week s
supply; hence the Mutton tr axle was firm at fully, but at
nothing qUotable beyond, the currencies raid on this day
se nnight. The priniest old Downs sold feely at from
4s 8d to 4s 10d per 811)3. Calves, though in short sup-
ply, moved off slowly at last week's quotations. Prime
small Pigs sold steally; other kieds of Pigs slowly, at
,ate rates. The bullock droves from the north of Eng-
lnd. comprised about 1,000 short horns. From Norfolk,
butloix, &c , we received about 1 000 Scots, short horns,
&c.; and from other parts of England, 500 Herefords,
• runts, Devons, &c. The Scotch steamer did not arrive

in time for the market; pri

NEUTGATE AND LEADENNALL.
Only moderate supplies of Scotch and country-killed
meat have been received up to these markets by rail-
way and steam-boat conveyance, since Monday last,
viz., 240 carcasses of Beef; 1,800 ditto of Mutton; 130
ditto of Veal, chiefly from the west of England; and
4,500 ditto of Pork. With meat slaughtered in the
metropolis, we have been heavily supplied, in most ex-
cellent condition. Fur all kinds of meat, the demand
has ruled extremely (lull, owing, in some measure, to
the changeable state of the weather, and prices have had
a downward tendency. Very few carcasses of foreign
meat have appeared on sale.

sonouGn AND SPXTALFTEILDS.
Comparatively speaking, the imports of Foreign Pota-
toes into London last week were small, viz. 113 sacks
from Havre, 195 tons from Dunkirk; and 30 tons from
Abbeville. Coastwise the arrivals have been limited,
they nut having exceeded 3,500 tons, chiefly from the
north, and in very middling condition. All kinds of
Potatoes are a dull inquiry, and prices have fallen from
Ss to 10s per ton.
BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
We continue to be very moderately supplied with the
best new Hops, in pockets, the demand for which is firm,
at prices quite equal to those paid last week. In all
other kinds of Hops a very moderate business is doing,
at late rates.
