There was a fair average show of foreign stock here to-
day in very middling condition.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were limited as to number, and very
deficient in quality. The high quotations demanded by the
salesmen checked business, hence nearly all breeds moved
off slowly at irregular quotations. The best Scots wore
mostly sold at 5s 8d per Sibs.
The supplies of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire amounted to 2,000 Scots, crosses, and short-
horns ; from other parts of England 500 various breeds, and
from Scotland 80 Scots and crosses.
Compared with Monday last there was a considerable
falling off in the show of sheep. Most prime breeds changed
hands steadily at full prices, the best Downs having sold at
5s Gd per Sibs ; otherwise the mutton trade was in a slug-
gish state on former terms.
There was a moderate inquiry for lambs—the supply of
which was tolerably good—at late rates, viz., from Os 4d to
7s per 81bs.
Although the supply of calves was ostensive the veal
trade ruled firm at 2d to 4d per Sibs above the currencies
realised on this day se'nnight.
We had a slow inquiry for pigs, yet prices ruled firm.

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.
Very limited supplies of beef are still on offer and the
trade rules steady, at very high rates. Other' kinds of
meat, the supply of which is moderate, command previous
rates, with a fair inquiry.

BOROUGH HOP.
'Our market is still fairly supplied with most kinds of
hops. Good and useful qualities are in fa:r request,

at full
prices ; otherwise the trade is somewhat heavy, on
terms. The duty is called £170,000 to £lBO,OOO.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
For the time of year our markets are well supplied with
old potatoes, in fair average condition. There is only a
moderate sale for them, at from 80s to 120 s per ton. New
potatoes are coming forward freely, and the quotations
range from 8s to 10s per cwt. The imports last week were
four tons from Konigsberg, and four bags from B.arburg.

• WOOL MARKET.
We continue to have a steady demand for all kinds ?t.
English wool, at very full prices, and the supply on offer is
limited. Foreign and colonial parcels, however, move off
slowly, at late quotations. The imports last week were-
-1,359 bales from Melbourne, 1,341 from Launceston, 142
from Table Bay, 89 from Cane Town. and 957 from other
quarters. The stock in London is now, about 60,000 bales,
which will be brought to the hammer nest month.
