There was a very poor show of foreign stock here to-day,
both as to numberand quality.

Compared with Monday last, the supply of English
beasts en offer this morning was on the increase; but the
general quality of the stook was only middling. As the
supply of meat in the dead market was not quite so exten-
sive as of late, and as the attendance of butchers was on
the increase, the beef trade ruled firm, at prices fully equal
to last week. The primest Scots sold at quite 4s 6d per tilbs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,500 Scots and short-horns ; from other parts' of
England, €OO of various breeds ; from Scotland, 340 Scots ;
and 340 oxen, &a., from Ireland.
We were again very scantily supplied with all breeds of
say brisk, good. The mutton

About 500 shorn sheep were in the market, and they
changed hands at from 6d to 8d per 81bs beneath those in
the wool.
The few lambs on sale produced about 6s 6d per Blbs.
Calves were in short supply and moderate request, at last
week's prices. The top quotation was 5s 2d per 81bs- '
There was only a limited inquiry for pigs, at late rates.

BOROI7GH HOP.
There is still a very
moderate business doing ix good and
fine hops; yet holders generally refuse to sell except at
full quotations. Low and middling qualities are very dull,
at barely stationary prices. No foreign hops came to hand
last week.
