* Pigs, 11. 10. 125
At Hull, Newcastle, &c., about 1,600 head of each kind
of stock have been landed, chiefly from Hamburgh and
Rotterdam. In addition to the above-noticed out-port
arrivals, 160 head of Beasts were landed at South-
ampton on Saturday from Spain, in good condition.
The whole were on offer here, this morning, and were
disposed of at prices varying from 91. to 191. each. The
supply of Dutch and German stock was, comparatively
speaking, small, viz., about 200 Oxen and Cows, 900
Sheep, 30 Calves, and 20 Pigs. The quality was again
very inferior, yet a fair clearance was effected at fully
last week's quotations. The disease in the Spanish
Merino Sheep, to which we alluded a short time since,
was scarcely perceptible today ; but we regret to learn
that it has extended itself in some of our large flock
districts. The Bullock droves from our various grazing
districts were again on the decrease, and of very in-
ferior quality. The attendance of buyers being good,
the Beef trade was somewhat brisk, at an advance in the
quotations paid on Monday last of from 2d to .0 per
8 lbs. The very primest Scots sold as high as 5s per
Blbs ; but the more general top currencies of Beef were
from 4s 8d to 4s 10d per 81bs, and at which nearly the
whole of the supply was cleared off. From the northern
grazing districts we received about 1,500 short horns ;
from the eastern, western, and midland counties, 700
Herefords, runts, Devons, Irish Beasts, &c. ; from other
parts of England, 700 of various breeds ; and from Scot-
land, 190 horned and polled Scots The numbers of
Sheep were somewhat larger than those exhibited on
this day se'nnight ; nevertheless the Mutton trade was
active, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, last
week's figures. There was a very steady sale for
Calves, the supply of which was small, and late rates
were well supported. Prime small Porkers moved off
freely ; other Pigs slowly, at but little alteration in
prices. The supply was seasonably good.

Fair average supplies of country-killed Meat have
been received up to these markets during the past week,
but the quality has turned out very interior. With meat
slaughtered in London, we have been tolerably well,
but not to say heavily supplied. Prime Beef, Mutton,
Veal, and Pork, have commanded a steady sale, at very
full prices. Otherwise the demand must be considered
heavy, at late rates. About 1,500 'head of foreign.
slaughtered in the metropolis, have been disposed of.
The quality has been wretchedly bad.

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
Fair average supplies of Potatoes, including about
100 tons from abroad, have arrived at the water side
during the past week. By railway the receipts have
been tolerably extensile. On the whole the demand is
somewhat inactive, on the following terms : York
It.e,ents, loos to 110 s; ditto Shams, 903 to 1003 ; Kent
Kidneys, 1003 to 105 s ; ditto Regents, 95s to 1005 ;
Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire Regents, 905 to 100 s ;
ditto Shaws, 90s to 100 s ; Essex Whites, 1005 to 105 s;
ditto Reds, 95s to 1005; Dutch, 85s to 90s per ton.)

The Duty upon some of the minor districts has been
already declared at 7,7501 13s 10d—the old being 4,244/
14s 4d, the new 3,137/ 7s 10d, and the additional five
cent 368/ lls 6cl ; but, of course, this forms no crite-
rion of the total amount, and we regard this partial
issue as calculated to do very lit►le service to the trade
generally. New Hops are still very dull, although, from
the present low prices, there appears rather more dispo-
sition to purchase, and the quotations are with difficulty
supported. Old Hops are amending ; duty 190,0001.

lied with malt ; never-
theless, as the brewers purchased with extreme caution,
the trade was again heavy. Chevalier parcels were
mostly disposed of; at late rates ; but the middling and
inferior qualities were quite is. per quarter cheaper.
Notwithstanding the quantity of Oats brought forward
was trifling, compared with that on show during many
preceding weeks, the Oat trade was in a sluggish
'state, but we can report no alteration in value.
Beans, though the supply was small, moved
off slowly, at barely stationary prices. Super-
fine white Peas, which were scarce, commanded
full prices, but all ether kinds were the turn lower. In
Indian Corn, Meal, and Rye Flour very few sales took
place. The Flour trade was heavy, c,lid the quotations
had a downward tendency. The *.,op price of the best
town made was 463 per 2801bs; and of foreign 27s per
1961b5.
