SEED MARKET._ _

The continuance of very low prices here has had the
anticipated effect of causing a considerable falling-off in
the imports of live stock into London, as well as at the
principal outports. The total arrival in the metropolis
since Monday tact has amounted to only 656 head. At
the corresponding period in 1848, there were received
1,156; and at the same time in 1847, 1,936 head. It
appears, therefore, that the supply in the week just con-
cluded has been less by 1,280 head than in 1847, and
less by 500 head than in 1848.

Even the time of year considered, our market to-day was
very scantily supplied with Foreign stock, the general
quality of which was inferior, yet the demand for it was
in a very sluggish state, at barely last week's quotations.
The numbers of Beasts received fresh up from our graz-
ing districts were again extensive and of very superior
quality; indeed, scarcely a second-rate bullock was on
offer. Although the attendance of buyers was large,
and the dead markets were well cleared of their last
week's supplies, the Beef trade, owing to the heavy sup-
ply, was by no means active. However, a fair average
portion of the Beasts were disposed of at prices about
equal to those obtained on Monday last; but the highest
general quotation for Beef did not exceed 3s 6d per 81bs.
Beef is now selling at fully Is, Mutton is 4d, Lamb Bd,
Veal 6d to Bd, and Purk 8d to 10d per 81bs. beneath the
prices obtained at the corresponding period in 1848.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received about 1,800 Scots, homebreds and short-horned
from the westt ra and midland districts, 900 Herefords,
runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of England 600 of
various breeds; and from Scotland 300 horned and polled
Scots. The remainder of the supply was from abroad
and the neighbourhood of the metropolis. There st as a
decided increase in the numbers of Sheep, most of which
►ere in good condition ; yet the mutton trade was
tolerably steady at Friday's improvement in value. The
primest old Downs, in the wool, sold at from 4s to 4s 4d;
out of the wool, 3s 6d to 3s 10d per 81b. Lambs were
in good supply, and fair request, at from 5s 4d
to 6s 4d.per Sib. We had a better sale for calves, the value
of which had an upward tendency. In pigs exceedingly
little business was transacted. Prices remained unaltered.

NEIXTGATE AND LEADENHALL.
The supply of meat received up to these markets, last
week, from Scotland and various parts of England,
amounted to about 400 carcasses of Beef, 700 ditto of
Mutton, 300 ditto of Lamb, 200 ditto of Veal, and 350
ditto of Pork. With London-killed meat, we have been
tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied. Prime
Beef and Mutton have sold to a fair extent, at full prices,
but Lamb has fallen in ♦alue 4d per Sibs. In the value
of other kinds of meat, we have no change to notice.
From llamburgh three baskets of fresh meat ha►e come
to hand, and about 250 carcasses of foreign meat, killed in
the metropolis, have been disposed of.

The arrivals of Potatoes coastwise during the past
week have been somewhat on the increase—they having
amounted to about 3,000 tons, chiefly from Scotland,
Yorkshire, Essex, and Kent, in but middling condition.
The foreign imports have been as follows:—From Ant-
werp, 225 tons, 136 bags; Rotterdam, 56 tons, 312
sacks, 2,735 bags; Ostend, 63 tons; Rouen, 113 tons;
Ghent, 1,014 bags; Leer, 43 sacks; Hamburgh, 170
sacks; and Groningen, 50 tons—forming a total quan-
tity of about 1,200 tons. Sound Potatoes being scarce,
such descriptions continue to move off steadily, at very
full price& All other kinds are a slow sale, at our quo-
tations.

BOROUGH NOP IVIARKEIT.

We have to notice a slight improvement in the demand
for the finest hops of last year's growth, at, in some in-
stances, a trifling advance in the quotations. All other
kinds are dull in the extreme, and rather lower to pur-
chase. Sussex pockets, 21 4s to 21 18s; Weald of Kent
