A slight improvement has taken pace in the arrivals of
foreign Beasts and Calves, but the condition of the Sheep,
Lambs, and Pigs, has again proved very inferior. At
the outports, about 1,500 head of stock have been landed,
chiefly from Holland. The annexed statement shows
the importations of foreign stock from the sth of January
to the 10th of October, during the present and the two
preceeding years :

The above shows an increase this year over 1845 of
900, and over 1846 of upwards of 100 per cent. The
supply of foreign stock here to-day was by no means so
heavy as on some previous market days ; nevertheless,
it was seasonably large, viz., 520 Oxen and cows, 1,444
Sheep, and 49 Calves, nearly the whole of which were
beneath the middle quality. Still, however, a good
clearance was effected at full prices. From our own
grazing districts the Bullock droves fresh up this morn-
ing were considerably less than those reported on this
day se'nnight, yet not the slightest improvement was
noticed in their weight or condition. Notwithstanding
the unfavourable state of the weather for slaughtering
the Beef trade, arising from the large attendance of
both town and country buyers, was very firm, and, in some
instances, the quotations had an upward tendency. A few
of the very primest Scots sold at 5s per 81bs; but
the more general figure for the best Beef was 4s.

10d per Slbi At the close of the market scarcely any
of the beasts remained unsold. The arrivals of beasts
by drift and railway from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
Northamptonshire, and Warwickshire, consisted of about

1,400 short horns and runts; from the eastern, western,
and midland distticts, 800 Herefords, runts, Devons,
Irish beasts, &c.; from other parts of England, 800 of
various breeds; and from Scotland, 120 horned and
polled Scots; the remainder of the supply being derived
from abroad and the neighbourhood of London. The
supply of Sheep was again on the decrease; hence the
Mutton trade was firm, and, in some instances, the best
old Downs, which were unusually scarce, sold at 5s 2d
per 81bs, being a slight advance in the currencies ob-
tained on Monday last. In all other breeds of Sheep a
good business was doing, at very full prices. The supply
of Calves was by no means large, yet the Veal trade
%as in a
,sluggish state, at barely stationary prices.
Prime small Porkers were in steady request, at fully
previous quotations; otherwise the demand was by no
means active at late rates.

The arrivals of country killed meat up to these mar-
kets since Monday last have been again on the increase,
but of very inferior quality. With meat slaughtered in
London we have been tolerably well, though not to say
heavily, supplied. Prime Beef has moved off steadily,
at, in some instances, an advance of 2d per 8113 s, while
the value of Mutton and prime Pork has been well sup-
ported, otherwise the demand has been in a sluggish
state; yet we have no material alteration to notice in
the quotations. About 1,100 carcasses of foreign meat
have been on offer.

Although the arrivals of Potatoes from our own coasts
are by no means large, the demand is in a sluggish state.

The best parcels of new Hops are in moderate re-
quest, at prices about equal to those obtained last week;
but all other kinds—the supply of which pressing for
sale is somewhat heavy—may be purchased at a decline
of fully 2s per cwt. Yearling and old Hops are a mere
drug. New Hops—Sussex pockets, 2/ 15s to 31 6s;
Weald of Kent ditto, 3/ to 3/ 10s; Mid and East Kent
ditto, 3/ 3s to 5/ 5s per cwt.
WOOL.

The imports of Wool into London, last week, con-
sisted of about 200 bales from Hamburgh ; 1,000 ditto
fiom Sidney ; 500 ditto from Odessa ; 100 ditto from
Oporto ; 20 ditto from Smyrna ; 650 ditto from Laun-
ceston ; 160 ditto from Monte Video ; and 9 ditto from
Venice. Since the conclusion of the public sales, the
demand, privately, has ruled steady, and prices have
been. well supported in every instance.

ALLO.
Owing to the largeT stock, the demand for all kinds of
Tallow still rules heavy, and last week's quotations are
with difficulty supported. P. Y. C., on the spot, is
44s 6d to 455, and for forward delivery, 43s 6d to
44s 6d per cwt. Town Tallow—the supply of which is
small—is 46s 6d to 465 9d net cash; Rough Fat, 2s 7id
per Sibs.
