SIVZITHFIELD.

Although the importations of foreign stock into
London in the past week have been small, compa ref'
with those of 1847, they have been in excess of tholo is
1848. The total arrival since our last has amounted to
5,152 head, against 7,260 at the same period in 1847 s
and 4,312 ditto during the corresponding week last year*
The general quality of the stock is evidently improving*

At the outports the arrivals of stock from ab road halo
been comparatively small. Those in the worth hav
comprised about 900 head, while at Southampton 10
,
Oxen have been lauded from Spain. By sue from Ire
land, 101 oxen and 25 Sheep have come to Itteind during
the week. The improvement in the value of stock, 031
Friday last, had the effect of considerably increasin4
the supply of Beasts on sale in to-day's market:. Althou,grl
the attendance of both town and country buye rs was ell'
tensive, the Beef trade—as the number of beasts ex?
ceeded the wants of the butchers—was in a very sluggish
state, at last Monday's quotations, being 2d per 81bs be'
low thosel paid on Friday. The very primest Scots solel
at from 3s 8d to 3s 10d per 81bs. At least a moiety c d
the beasts were in the hands of jobbers. Prior to th e
close of business a total clearance bad not been effectec I.
The general quality of the beasts was seasonably good- e
that of the Sheep, Lambs, and Calves, somewhat inferior'
From the northern grazing districts the Bullock supplif 0
fresh up this morning amounted to 1,000 Shorthorn 1/
from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshir et
1,300 Scots and Shorthorns, with a few Homebred ol
from the Western and Midland Counties, 400 Hereford 0?,
Runts, Devons, and Irish Beasts; from other parts ,
England, 500 of various breeds; and from Scotland, l'iu
Horned and Polled Scots. The remainder of the supi ill.
was derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of ill:
1 metropolis. For the time of year the number of Sh eeir.
ou offer was extensive. Although the mutton tr So:
was not so active as on Friday last, a ste. !al
business was transacted in Sheep, at fu Lil_if
the currencies of Monday last. The prirr lee"
Old Downs went off at from 3s 10d to 4s per Sibs, 1
which a fair clearance was effected. The supply ,
Lambs was somewhat large; most breeds, especia
Down qualities, sold freely, at fall prices, which nail' f
from 4s to 5s per 81bs. For Calves, the number e
while' was small, compared with that exhibted for scarl".
time past, the demand was heavy at about statiorsii 1,
prices. The sale for pigs was very inactive. In le
quotations we have no alteration to report.

BOROUGH HOP DTAREET. Our market continues very moderately supplied witl g
ail good and fine hops; but the quantity of interior ones ,
on offer is somewhat extensive. Although the amount
of business passing is by no means large, last week's
prices are fairly supported. The plantation accounts are '
much of the same character as those received last week, •
and the duty is called 60,0001 to 70,0001. A new pocket
from Sussex has sold at 101 per cwt. Sussex pockets,-

TALLOW.
Since this day se'nnight, the demand for all kinds or
Tallow has been in a very sluggish state, owing to sere-
ral arrivals from Russia. In prices, however, we have
no change to notice. To day, P.Y.C. on the spot 115
quoted at 39s to 39s 3d; and for forward delivery, 391

per cwt., net cash; Rough Fat, 2s lid per 81bs. Our SG
Petersburgh letter, at hand to-day, states that the Tallow
trade was heavy, at drooping prices. Yellow, on the
spot, was selling at 115; and Ukraine, 116 roubles. To
the 2d inst., the exports were 24,836 casks, against '
45,511 ditto at the corresponding period in 1848, and
41,035 ditto in 1847.

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
Since this day se'nnight, the arrivals of Potatoes for
these markets, by land carriage, have been unusually
large, and of very prime quality. From some distant
localities, we learn that the disease has made its appear'
ance amongst the winter crop ; but we are not inclined,
from the general c ,ndition of the potatoes which save
hitherto reached us this season, to place much reliance in
them. A very inactive demand has been experienced far
most descriptions, at, in some instances, a further decline
in the quotations, which now rule from 31. 10s. to g pet
f
ton, the latter figure being for Regents. The imports of
Foreign Potatoes have amounted to 983 baskets, 34 sacks
from Dieppe; 40 tons from Caen; 114 sacks from Calais'
and 45 tons irom Paimbieuf.

WOOL.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts beit?g
favourable, holders of all kinds of Wool continue firm in
the metropolis. A steady business has bzen transacted
during the week, at fully the late advance in the quota'
Lions. Very large importations have taken place, sinoe
our last, viz., 66 bags from Spain ; 658 bales frola
