Very few arrivals have taken place at the outports, end
it is generally considered, as the navigation in Holland
will be shortly closed, that the importations during the
next three or four months will be very small. With
Foreign Stock we were very scantily supplied to day,
there being only about 160 Beasts, 700 She. and 20
Calves on offer. The quality, generally speaking,lsll
better than we have observed for some time past. VI
being what is termed a holiday market the supply
home-fed Beasts was small, but there were about 800
head more on sale than at the corresponding period in
1846. Although the attendance of buyers was by To
means large, the Beef trade ruled steady, and last
75, week's prices were supported in every instance. Prime
13 Scots sold without difficulty at from 4s 10d to 5s per
81bs. At least two thirds of the Beasts were beneath
the middle quality. The droves from the northern
grazing districts consisted of about 900 short horns.
From the western and midland counties we received 500
Herefords, runts, Devons, and Irish Beasts ; from other
parts of England, 500 of various breeds ; and from Scot-
land 120 horned and polled Scots. There was a Teri
moderate number of Sheep offering, and the quality of
that description of stock was by no means first-rate.
Prime old Downs, which were very scarce, moved of
freely, at the extreme rates paid on Monday last, or from
53 2d to 5s 4d per Blbs. Otherwise the Mutton trade
was steady, at full prices. Scarcely any Calves were in
the market, and the Veal trade was firm at full prices.
Prime small Porkers moved off readily at extreme cur-
rencies. Other kinds of Pork were quite as dear. M
the close of the market a good clearance was effected.

NEWGATE AND I.IIIADSIITILAIAIet
During nearly the whole of the past week dies.
markets have been very heavily supplied with both town
and country killed meat, the quality of which has
proved remarkably fine. Still, however, the genera;
demand must be considered active ; and really prime
Beef has sold at unusually high prices, the value of other
kinds of meat being well supported. The coldness Of
the weather having induced the butchers to purchase
extensively, good clearances have been effected. Scared,
any foreign meat has appeared on sale.
