The show of all kinds of foreign stock in to-day's market
was limited, and in but middling condition.
Compared with Monday last, the receipts of beasts fresh
up from our own grazing districts were limited, and the
quality of the stock was inferior—over 800 bulls being on
offer. Although the beef trade was somewhat firmer than
on this day so'nuight, we have no improvement to notice
lin the general quotations. We may, however, state that
the extreme value of the best Scots w is 4s. 4d. per Blbs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,960 Scots and short horns ; from other parts of
England, 300 of various breeds, from Scotland 440 horned
and polled Scots, awl from Ireland 240 oxen.
There was a further increase in the sheep supply. Nearly
all breeds moved off slowly, at about last week's currency.
The top price of the best old Downs was 55 per 81bs. Out
of the wools Downs sold at 4s 2d to 4s 4d per 81bs,
Lambs were in moderate su, ply, and sluggish request,
at from Gs to 6s Gd per Bibs; about 20J came to hand from
the Isle of Wight.

We had a (hit inquiry for calves—the supply of which
was moderate—at full prices.

For pigs, the demand ruled heavy, at last week's cur
tansy.

Henceforth, the market here will be held on Thursdays,
instead of Fridays, us heretofore.

There is no new feature to notice in our market. Good
and useful hops of last year'. growth are in moderate re-
quest, at fall prices. All other kinds are very dull. Last
week's imports were very large, viz , 675
hales from Ham-
bro, 61 from Ihrburg, and 4 from Antwerp.
