The arrivals of slaughtered Meat from Scotland and the
north of England, since Monday last, have been but mode-
rate; those from other quarters liberal. The supplies on
offer killed in the metropolis having been seasonably exten-
sive, the general demand has ruled heavy. yet we can notice
no material alteration the currencies. Only about twenty
carcases of foreign Beef, fifty ditto of Mutton, and twenty
ditto of Veal, have appeared on sale.

The imports of Potatoes in the past week have been con-
fined to 25 tons front Rotterdam, and 47 bags from Harlin-

have been again trifling. The demand, however, is very

We have again little or no alteration to notice in this mar-

WOOL.
The arrivals of foreign and colonial Wool continue ex.
tremely limited, they having scarcely amounted to 200 bales
and bags since Monday last. In the private market a steady
business is doing in English qualities, at full prices, but all
other kinds of Wool are much neglected.

TALLOW.
The market continues very lirm, and prices are still look-
►ng upward. P. Y. C. on the spot is held at 50s to 51s 3d;
and for arrival, 46s per cwt. Our advices from St. Peters-
burgh bring high rates. Town Tallow is steady, at 50s 3d,
nett cash.
