At Hull, and the other northern outports, nearly 1,300
head of each kind of stock arrived, chiefly from Ham-
burgh and Rotterdam. The number of Beasts here to-
day from Holland and Germany was small, but those of
Sheep and Calves was again extensive. There were in
the market 16 very superior Oxen from Spain. Even
the time of year considered, the supply of Beasts from
our grazing districts was again extensive, and of full
average quality. Although the attendance of both town
and country buyers was numerous, the Beef trade was
in a very inactive state, at prices barely equal to those
obtained on Monday last, and at which a clearance was
not effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire, we received about 1,600 Scots and short-
horns; from the western and midland counties, 800 Here-
fords, runts, Devons, Irish Beasts, &c.; from other parts
of England, 400 of various breeds; and from Scotland,
489 horned and polled Scots. We have to report a
further increase in the supply of Sheep. Prime Down
qualities were in moderate request at last week's cur-
rencies; otherwise, the Mutton trade was heavy, and
late rates were with difficulty supported. Only about
100 Lambs eame to hand from the Isle of Wight, but the
arrivals from other quarters were large. The Lamb
trade was in a very inactive state, at from 2d to 4d per
81bs beneath the prices paid on Monday last. Calves
were a very dull inquiry, at barely the late depression in
value. In Pigs next to nothing was doing, at almost
nominal currencies. Beef is now selling at from is 4d
to is Bd, Mutton 4d to Bd, Lamb 8(1 to ls, Veal 8d to
10d, and Pork quite 2d per 81bs lower than at the cor-
responding period in 1847.

NEU/GATES AND LEADENECALL.

Since Monday last the arrivals of country-killed Meat
for these markets have consisted of 320 carcases of
Beef. 600 ditto of Mutton, 450 ditto of Lamb, 230 ditto
of Veal, and 390 ditto of Pork. The supplies on offer,
slaughtered in the metropolis, have been seasonably ex-
tensive, and of full average quality. Muttoa has moved
off steadily, at full prices. In those of Beef we have no
change to notice; but Lamb, Veal, and Pork have fallen
in value from 2d to, in some instances, 4d per Sibs, with
a very dull inquiry. Nearly 800 carcases of foreign
M at have been disposed of.

week have been seasonably good. The foreign imports
