The import of nearly all kinds of foreign stock exhibit
very little improvement either in point of weight or qua-

Advices from liolland state that the business doing in
stock on French account is comparatively small.
There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock in
to-day's market, and its general quality was inferior.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up to-day were moderato, and of but middling qua-
lity. There was a slight improvement in the demand for
nearly all breeds, and in some instances prices were 2d per
Ellis higher than on Monday last. The beat Scots were
worth 4s 10,1 per 81bs.
The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire Leicestershire,
and Northamptonshire amounted to 1,800 shorthorns;
from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds ; from
Scotland, 14 Scots; and from Ireland, 200 oxen.
There was a fair average show of sheep in the market,
but their quality was only middling. Most kinds sold
slowly, at last Monday's currency, the top figure for Downs
being 5s 2d per Sibs.
The supply of lambs was moderately good, and the lamb
trade ruled firm, at Friday's advance in the quotations.
The best lambs realised 6s per 81bs.
We were fairly supplied with calves, which changed
hands to a fair extent, and prices were a shade higher.
The pork trade was dull, at last week's currency.

NEWGATE AND LEA.DENTIALL.

of meat compared with Monday last. Prime beef, mut-
ton, lamb, and veal move off steadily, at very full prices.
Otherwise, the demand is in a sluggish state.

BOROUGII HOP.
We continue to receive favourable accounts from the
plantations, and the duty has been done at 250,0001. For
all kinds of hops the demand is heavy, and prices are
barely support ed.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Very favourable accounts continue to reach us respect-
ing the general appearance of the potato crop. Our mar-
kets are very extensively supplied, and, although the de-
mand is steady, prices rule very low, viz., from 2/. 15s to
4'. 5s per ton. The imports from the continent have
wholly ceased for the present.
