At Hull and the other northern outports about 1,000
head of stock have been landed from Holland and Den-
mark, and a few French beasts have arrived in the
southern ports. By sea, from Ireland 38 Oxen have
come to hand for this market. The following official
statement shows the total importations of foreign stock
into the United Kingdom, during the first nine months
of the present and three previous years, ending on the
10th of October in each year :

A full average number of Foreign Beasts were on sale
in this morning'smarket. That of Sheep and Calves was
very moderate. There was a considerable increase in
the arrivals of home-fed Beasts put up today—the
excess in number, compared with Monday last, being
about 600 head. The general quality of the Bullock
supply was very inferior. The scarcity of prime Scots,
Devons, Herefords, &c., produced a moderate inquiry for
those breeds, at full rates of currency—the top figures
for Beef ruling from 3s 10d to 4s per Blbs, but in the
middling and inferior qualities, only a limited business
was transacted, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per
81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamp-
tonshire, we received about 2,000 Short Horns ;
from the eastern, western, and midland counties,
700 Herefords, Runts, Devons, Scots, &c. ; and
from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds.
With Sheep we were tolerably well, but not to say hea-
vily supplied. The number of Downs were unusually
small. As the dead markets were well filled, the
Mutton trade here to-day was in a very inactive state, at
a fall in the quotations of 2d per Blbs. The general
top figure for Beef was 4s per Blbs, at which a clear-
ance was effected. The supply of Calves was but mode-
rate, nevertheless the Veal trade ruled heavy, at barely
stationary prices. Prime small Porkers moved off stea-
dily, at full rates of currency. Otherwise the Pork trade
was dull.

The arrivals of country•killed meat having been con-
siderably on the increase, the general demand has con-
tinued in a very inactive state since our last report, and
prices of the middling and inferior kinds of Beef,.Mutton,
and Veal, have declined quite 2d per 81bs. About 900
carcases of foreign meat have been disposed of, and four
packages have arrived from Ostend. The supplies
slaughtered in the metropolis have been mostly very de-
ficient in quality.

3,400 tons of Potatoes arrived at the waterside
o
wise. By land-carriage the receipts were very moderate,cast
viz., 640 tons. The foreign importations were 209 tons
522 bags, 6 sacks from Rotterdam; 230 tows, 328 bags,
82 baskets from Antwerp; 30 tons from Amsterdam; 60
tons from Dieppe; 46 tons from Calais; 135 tons from
Harlingen; 86 tons from Ghent; 93 tons from Abbe-
ville; 3 baskets, 7 casks from Nieu Diep—forming a
total of 1,121 tons. Samples of diseased home-grown
Potatoes have come to hand; but the general quality of
those from abroad is good. The finest qualities are in
steady request, at full prices; but all other kinds are
fully 5s per ton lower than on Monday last. This day's
