At Hull and some of the other northern ports, a few
vessels have arrived, partly laden with stock from Hol-
land. The supply of foreign stock on sale here this
morning was on the increase, it consisting of about 200
Beasts, 220 Sheep, end 50 Calves, some of which were
landed yesterday. On the whole the demand was
tolerably steaiy, and prices were well supported. With
home-fed Beasts we were tolerably well, but not to say
heavily supplied, the time of year considered. Tho
droves from the eastsrn counties came to hand in good
condition, but those from most other parts of England
were somewhat inferior. The attendance of both town
and country buyers was rather numerous, owing to which,
and the slight frost this morning, the Beef trade was
active, though not to say brisk, at, in some instances,
an advance in the quotations paid on this day se'nnight
of 2d per Slbs—the primest Scots producing from 4s 6d
to 4s 8d per 81k is without difficulty. Previously to the
close of business a good clearance had been effected.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received about 1,200 Scots and Short-horns; from the
northern, western, and midland districts SOO Herefords,
Runts, Devons, Irish Beasts, &c.; from other parts of
England, 600 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 240
Horned and Polled Scots—the remainder of the Bullock
supply being chiefly derived from the neighbourhood of
the metropolis. The numbers of Sheep were again
small, though somewhat in excess of those brought for-
ward on Monday last. The Mutton trade was decidedly
firm, but we have no further improvement to notice in
value. Frime old Downs produced from 5s 4d to 5s 6d
per 81bs. Calves moved off steadily, at full prices, with
a fair average number on offer. 'rho Pork trade was
far from active. In prices we have no changes to report.

NEWGATE .A.ND LISADENIIALL.

The arrivals of country-slaughtered meat, especially
from the north of England, have been on a moderate
scale, during the whole of the past week. The supplies
of Beef on offer killed in the metropolis have been good,
those of Mutton, Veal, and Pork comparatively small.
Mutton has sold somewhat briskly, at an advance of 2d
per 81bs. Otherwise, the trade has been in a sluggish
state, at about stationary prices. About 100 carcases of
foreign meat have appeared on sale.

By water carriage, as well as by railway, the arrivals
of potatoes have been good for the time of year. Owing
to the high prices demanded by the holders a very
limited amount of business has been doing, and large
quantities have remained unsold. Some of the follow-
ing quotations are almost nominal. The imports have
consisted of about 200 tons:—York Regent's, 160 s to
170 s; Wisbeach Regent's, 120 s to 140 s; ditto Kidneys.
120 s to 140 s; Kent and Essex Regent's, 160 s to 170 s;
