There was a very large show of foreign stock in to-day's
market, chiefly in poor condition. Each kind moved off
heavily, at drooping currencies.
From our grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up
this morning were large, and in somewhat improved condi-
tion. The attendance of buyers was by no means nume-
rous, and all breeds met a heavy demand, at a decline in the
quotations, compared with Monday last, of from 2d to 4d
per 81bs. The top figure for Scots was 4s 6d per 81bs. •
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,600 short-horns ; from other parts of
England 900 various breeds, and from Ireland 300 oxen and
heifers. There were no supplies from Scotland.

With sheep we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily,
supplied. The fine Downs and prime half-brads on offer
moved off slowly, at about stationary prices, but all other
breeds were quite 2d per 81bs lower. The best Downs were
worth 5s 4d per Sibs.

There was a fair supply of calves in the market, yet the
veal trade was steady, at extreme rates, the best calves
having sold at 5s 2d per 81bs.

We have to report a moderate demand for pigs, the sup-
ply of which was moderate, at very full prices.

BOROUGH HOP.

We are fairly supplied with new hops as to quantity, but
the condition of the supplies is very inferior. Fine qualities
sell freely at high rates, but other kinds are dull. The
duty is called £35,000. Last week's imports were 103
bales from Hamburg, 15 from Antwerp, 10 from Ostend,
and 10 from Rotterdam.
