The show of foreign stock here to-day was only moderate.
The whole changed hands at full quotationi.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh
up this morning were only moderate, and the general quality
of the supply was by no means first-rate. Prime Scots,
crosses, esc., soh3, steadily, at an advance in the quotations
of 2d per 81bs., the general top figure being 4s 10d ; other-
wise, the beef trade was far from active ou former terms.
The arrivals of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire amounted to 2,500 Scots, shorthorns, and
crosses; from other parts of England, 350 various breeds ;
and from Scotland, 46 Scots and crosses.

We were seasonably well supplied with sheep, in for the
most part middling condition. The mutton trade ruled
steady, at fully last Monday's quotations, some prime old
Downs out of thUwool having realised 5s 2d per 81bs. We
have now ceased to make any distinction between the value
of the woolled and shorn sheep.
There was a fair demand for lambs at full prices, viz.,
58 6d to 7s 2d per 81bs.

Prime calves sold briskly at very full currencies, but in-
ferior calves were a dull inquiry, on former terms.
The pork trade was heavy, and prices ruled a shade
lower.

Cattle Market on Monday, May 9, 1859, and this day,

BOROUGH HOP.
Tho plantation accounts are on the whole favourable,
Good and useful hops continue in fair request, at full prices.
but the demand for them is by no means active. All other
kinds are a slow inquiry.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Since our last report only limited supplies of potatoes
have come to hand, coastwise and by land carriage. Good
lower qualities sell briskly, at extreme rates, and other
kinds are firm in prico.
