Scarcely any arrivals of country-killed Meat took
Place for these markets last week, and the supplies on
offer slaughtered iu the metropolis were unusually small.
.As the butchers have been rather scantily supplied, thy
general trade has ruled brisk, and prices have advanced
fully 4d per 81bs, at which amount of improvement good
clearances have been effected. Scarcely any foreign
Meat has been on offer.

Coastwise and by railway conveyance the arrivals of
Potatoes up to our markets last week were on the in-
crease, owing to the high prices lately realised here.
The imports from abroad were again extensive, viz.,
933 tons 6,779 bags from Rotterdam, 547 bags from
Amsterdam, 338 bags 93 tons from Ostend, 3,462 bags
from Antwerp, 744 bags S 5 tons from Ghent, and lOS
bags from Calais, forming a total quantity of about
4,320 tons. This is by far the largeit supply of foreign
Potatoes ever received in one week in any English port.
Its general quality having been tolerably good, the de-
mand, for all kinds of Potatoes has fallen off, and prices
nave not been supported.

Scarce!), any many tine hops are on offer. Such
command a steady sale, at fully last week's quotations ;
but all other kinds are neglected. Current prices of last
year's Hops as follows:—Sussex pockets, 21 ds to 2/ 18s;
Weald of Kent ditto, 21 12s to 31 8s ; Mid and East
Xent ditto, 315 s to 61 18s per cwt.

WOOL.
The public sales of Colonial Wool, at which nearly
15,000 bales will be offered, commenced on Thursday.
The attendance of buyers has been good, and several
Parties have arrived from France to purchase the finest
qualities. The biddings, up to the present time, have
been steady, and a full average quantity has changed
hands, at prices about equal to those paid at the pre-
ceding auctio:ls. In the private contract market very
little business is doing; yet the quotations are fairly
supported. The imports last week amounted to about
4OU bales, chiefly frcm Germany.
