have no decline to notice in value. Notwith-
standing the quantity of Oats brought foriv.m.d was
again limited, especially that of home growth, t 4- Oat
trade was rather dull. In prices, henrevlA-, we have no
alteration to notice. All kinds of Beans, the supply of
which was on the increase, moved off slowly at late rates.
The inquiry for Peas was restricted to small parcels, at
last Monday's prices. Indian corn and meal wire held
at extreme rates of value. The quantities on offer were
small. In flour, rather a limited business was trans-
acted. No change took place in prices

Full average time-of-war supplies of stock have been
landed at the northern 'outports from Holland and Ger-
many, viz , 3,480 head, in the quality of which no im-
provement has taken place, if we except the Calves,
which have been landed in good condition. At South-
ampton, 120 oxen have been received from Portugal, 92
of which were disposed of to the local butchers at fair
prices, the remainder having been forwarded to this mar-
ket per railway. Other cargoes are expected to follow.

To-day we were again somewhat heavily supplied with
foreign stock, a large portion of which was of very mid-
dling and inferior quality. All breeds met a dull sale,
at drooping prices. The supply of home-fed Beasts on
offer was very extensive as to number, it considerably
exceeding that shown on this day se'nnight; but ita
general quality was comparatively inferior, especially of
relates to the droves from the western and midland
counties. The attendance of both town and country
buyers was by no means large, while the Beef trade
ruled exceedingly heavy, at a decline in the quotations
of Monday lest of 2d per 81bs. We may observe, how-
ever, that a few of the very, primest Scots were disposed
of with difficulty at 4s per 81bs. A largo number of
Beasts were driven out unsold at the close of business.
From the northern districts we received about 1.200
short horns ; from the Eastern, Western, and blidland
counties 1,100 Herefords, runts, Decor's, short horns,
and Irish Beasts ; from other parts of England 1,200 of
various breeds ; and from Scotland 220 horned and
polled Scots, partly by railway. The remainder of the
Bullock supply was derived from abroad and the
neighbourhood of London. There was a slight
falling off in the number of Sheep ; neverthe-
less, the demand for that description of stock
was heavy, and prices receded 2d per 81bs. A few
very superior old Downs, which were scarce, produced
5s per Blbs. Long- woollcd Sheep generally were very
dull. There was a fair average number of Lambs in the
market. All breeds moved off slowly, at barely stationary
prices. The sale for Calves was far from active, yet
Friday's advanced rates were mostly supported. Fur
Pigs the inquiry was steady, at last week's improvement
in value. Neat small Porkers sold as high as 5s 2d
per 81bs.

MEV/VATS AND I.EADEINSA3III.
Rather extensive supplies of country-killed Meat have
been received up to these markets since Monday last, they
having consisted of 350 carcases of Beef, 600 ditto of
Mutton, 400 ditto of Lamb, 220 ditto of Veal, and 540
ditto of Pork. Those on offer slaughtered in the me-
tropolis have been seasonably good; nevertheless, the
general demand has ruled firm. Beef, Mutton, and
Lamb have sold at full prices. Veal has advanced from
2d to 4d, and Pork 6d to 8d per Slbs. Upwards of 1,600
carcases of, foreign meat have found buyers at full cur-
- I reticles.

Those markets continue to be heavily supplied with
potatoes, the condition of which is falling off. The
best samples ar© selling readily at from 61. to 61. ss. per
ton, and the value of other kinds is well supported, with
a good business doing.

2074011G1E BOIL MARKET.
Several fresh parcels of new Hops have arrived here
of good colour. The Sussex qualities have sold at
from 90s to 955, and the Kent ditto 95s to 105 s per
cwt. The prospect of a large growth has sent up the
duty to 205,000 L, and had a depressing influence upon the
demand for yearling and old Hops, ut drooping prices.
Yearlings—Sussex pockets, 2/ 2s to 21 lOs; Weald
of Kent ditto 21 53 to 21 12s ; Mid sad East Kent
ditto, 21 105 to 51 per cwt.
