descriptions moved off slowly, but we have no alteration
to notice in value. Oats were in good supply. Fine
sound Corn produced late currencies, but the damp and
otherwise weathered parcels were quite 6d per quarter
cheaper, with a very inactive demand. A very large quan-
tity of foreign Beans was brought forward, and which met
a heavy inquiry, at a reduction in value of is per quar-
ter. All kinds of Peas were in moderate supply, and
moderate request at last week's prices. Indian Corn
and Meal were neglected, but not cheaper. Flour was
in better request, but we have no improvement to notice
in its value.

About 1,300 head of stock have been landed at the
northern outports, and 10 Oxen at Southampton, the
latter from Spain. The supply of foreign Beasts on offer
to-day was comparatively small; that of Sheep and Calves
tolerably good, but of very middling quality. With
home-fed Beasts our market was heavily
supplied, the
time of year considered, and the general condition of
that description of stock was good. Although the at-
tendance of buyers was somewhat extensive, the Beef
trade was excessively dull, at, in some instances, a fur-
ther decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. However,
a few of the very primest Scots sold at 4a per Blbs. At
the close of business a large number of Beasts left the
market unsold. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire, we received about 1,700 Scots, short-
horns, &c.; from the western and midland districts, 100
Ilerefurd3. runts, Devons, Irish beasts, So.; from other
parts of England, 500 of various breeeds ; and from
Scotland, 340 horned and polled Scots. Although the
supply of Sheep was moderately extensive, the Mutton
trade was steady, though not to say brisk, at prices fully
equal to those paid on Monday last, the primest Down
qualities of Mutton producing 4s 10d to 5s without diffi-
culty. The number of Lambs was by no means heavy
for the time of year. All breeds met a fair demand, at
fully last week's prices. Prime small Calves moved off
freely, at full prices. Otherwise, the Veal trade was in
a very sluggish state. Pigs sold heavily, at last week's
currencies.

Very limited supplies of country-killed Meat have
been received up to these markets during the past week.
Those on offer killed in the metropolis, owing to the
continued hot weather, have been moderate, even the
time of year considered. Each kind of prime Meat has
commanded a very steady sale, at extreme rates of cur-
rency. Otherwise, the demand has ruled tolerably firm,
and prices have been well supported. About 1,600 car-
cases of foreign Meat, slaughtered in London, have been
on offer.

Since Monday last the arrii'als of potatoes, coastwise,
have been tolerably good. From abroad we hare re-
ceived the following supplies :-85 tons and 246 baskets
from Antwerp; 246 ditto from Bremen; 2,609 ditto from
Rotterdam ; 70 tons from Hambargh ; and 108 bags
from Leer. All kinds of Potatoes are exceedingly dull
in sale, at almost nominal figures. Parcels are offered
at a decline of from 261. to 255. per ton on last week's
prices.
