To-day's market was moderately well supplied with most
kinds of foreign stock, the quality of which was by no
means prime.
There was a fair arrival of beasts fresh up to-day from
our own grazing districts. The quality of most breeds
was tolerably good. Although the beef trade was steady,
the advance in the quotations of 2d per 81bs reported on
Friday last was not supported, but most of the stock found
buyers at last Monday's currency. The best lots realised
5s per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,000 Scots and short-horns ; from the Northern
counties, 900 short-horns ; from other parts of England,
600 of various breeds ; from Ireland, 110 oxen ; and from
Scotland, 230 Scots.
We had a considerable increase in the numbers of sheep
compared with Monday last, but their general quality was
inferior. The mutton trade ruled heavy, and prices were
4d per 81bs lower than on this day se'nnight. The top
figure for the best Downs was 5s 4d per 81bs. About 1,200
Irish sheep were in the market.
The show of lambs was good, and all breeds moved off
slowly at 4d per Sibs less money compared with Monday
last. The highest figure was 5s 8d per 81bs.
Calves were in moderate supply and.fair request, at full
prices, viz., 33 10d to 5s 2d per Sibs.
We had a slow inquiry for pigs, at last week's currency.

BOROUGH HOP.
The late gales have caused some damage to the planta-
tions. There is rather more firmness in our market, and
prices are well supported. No imports took place from
abroad last week.
