The show of foreign stook hero to-day was very limited,
and, with the exception of the calves, in moderate condi-
tion. The whole of the supply was disposed of at fully last
week's currency.

There was a fair Average arrival of both English and
Scoth-fed beasts 'fresh up to this morning's market, and
the quality of most breeds was tolerably prime. Owing
chiefly to the favourable change in the weather the beef
trade ruled steady at fully last Monday's quotations. The
general top figure for beef was 48 Bd, but some superior
lots valued at 44 101 per Sibs.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire vre
received 2,0J0 Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of
England, 800 of various breeds; from Scotland, 700 Scots;
and from Ireland, 270 oxen.

We were again very moderately supplied with sheep,
in the condition of which we observed very little improve-
ment compared with most previous weeks. The mutton
trade was in a healthy state, and prioes generally were well
supported. The prirnest old Downs sold at 5s 2d per Sibs.
The few calves in the market moved off steadily at very
full prices. Th 3 top quotation for veal was 5a 2d per 81bs.
Some small porkers sold steadily at full prices. In other
kinds of pork very little was doing, on former terms. The
supply was again limited.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIRLDS.
Since Monday last very moderate supplies of home-
grown potatoes have come to band, coastwise and by land
carriage. From abroad the imports have fallen off—they
having consisted of 68i tone from Rouen, 40 tons from
Dunkirk, SO tons from Calais, 80 tons from Groningen, GO
tons from Antwerp, and two tone from Rotterdam. The
demand has not improved, nevertheless; prices are well

CORN EXCII
Only moderate supplies of wheat were on sale in most of
the country markets held on Saturday, nevertheless the
demand for all kinds was in a sluggish state, and prices
ruled in favour of buyers. Fine barley supported previous
currencies, but other kinds were dull and drooping. In
other articles very little
...liminess was transacted.
The French and other continental markets continue
heavy, yet very little change has taken place i❑ prices. In
the United States produce almost generally has ruled about
stationary.
Only moderate supplies of English grain wore received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
amounted to 3,676 quarters of wheat, 25,090 barley, 3,812
oats, 2,485 beans, 50 peas, 20 tares, 6,220 linseed, 5,815
rapeseed, 20 mustard-seed, 418 sundry seeds, 1,768 sacks
and 6,434 barrels of flour.
The quantity of wheat received, fresh up to-day, from
Essex and Kent, coastwise, was only moderate, and the
receipts by land carriage from the whole of the near
counties were limited. The show of samples, therefore,
was far from extensive. The trade was not so heavy as
on Monday last ; nevertheless, sales progressed slowly at
about that day's decline in the quotations. The general
condition of the samples was tolerably good.
We were well supplied with nearly all kinds of foreign
wheat. Gsod and fine qualities were held with more
firmness ; but the business doing in them was only mode-
rate. Inferior qualities ruled heavy, at barely late rates.
Floating cargoes of grain met a dull inquiry.
Fine malting barley was disposed of at full prices.
Grinding and distilling sorts met a dull inquiry at late
rates.
Malt was heavy, but no actual fall took place in its
value.

There was a fair inquiry for good sound oats at full quo-
tations. Damp parcels were much neglected.
For beans—the show of which was only moderate—we
had a slow inquiry on former terms, to is. per quarter less
money.
Peas changed bands slowly, yet prices were supported.
The flour trade was very slow at last week's quotations.
