Pigs came to hand for this mar, et. The official returns give
the following arrivals of foreign stock during the years 1849

In to-day's market, the supply of Beasts was large for the
time of year, and of unusual prime quality. Notwith-
standing the favourable change in the weather, and that the
attendance of buyers was on the increase, the Beef trade
ruled semewbat inactive, at prices about equal to those
obtained on Monday last. We may observe, however,
that the ext reme value of the best Scots was 3s. Bd. per 810 s.
e rom Norfolk, Sablk, Essex, anti Camb,idgesbire, we re-
ceived about '4OOO Scots, Short Horns, &c. ; from the nor-
thern districts, 800 Short Horns; from other parts of Eng-
land, 300 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 350 Horned
and Polled Scots, chiefly by railway. lhe numbers of Sheep
being again very moderate, the demand for that description
of stuck ruled firm, at fully Friday's improvement in value.
The general top figure for the best old Downs in the wool
being 4s 6d per 810 s. There were about 2,000 shorn Sheep in
the market. The few Lambs on show produced 5s 60 to 6s
per 81bs. Calves—the supply of which WAS smal'—moved
off slowly, at late rates. There was rather more doing in
Pigs, at full prices.

nial and 6,000 of East India and Foreign, were commenced
on Thursday. The total quantity offered and disposed of up
to Saturday evening
is 5,736 bales. Oa each day the at-
tendance of buyers was large, and the competition was very
spirited, at, in some instances, an improvement in value of
Id per lb. The auctions are expected to be brought to a
close on Saturday next. In the private market, compara-
tively little business is doing, yet prices are very firm. Last
week's imports were 115 bales from Leghorn, 360 from Bor-
dianski, 6? from Hamburgh, 500 from Taganrog, 36 from the
Cape, and -695 from Rouen.

sive, viz, 2,151 casks, our market to-day is in a very inac-
tive sta e, and price 3 are from 6d to 9d per cwt. lower than
on this day ee'❑eight, P.Y.C. on the spot being quoted at
37s ed per cwt. Town Tallow is 3's per cwt. net cash;
Rough Fat, 2s Id per Blbs. Latest advices from St. Peters-

Malt —the Fupply of which was moderately extensive—
moved • ff slowly at last week's quotati. rig.
The aggregate supply of Oats exceeded 30,000 quarters.
This had the effect of chec,ing the demand; neveitbeless,
late rates were mostly supported.
The sale for Beans was slow. In prices, however, we
have no change to notice.
Peas of all kinds, as well as Indian Corn, ruled very dull.
No alteration took place in the value of Flour, for which
the demand was heavy.
