There was a very limited show of Dutch stock here to-
day, but we had a good supply of beasts from Oporto for
the time of year.

cis invnen, ai
in Newgate and Leadenhall, the beef trade was in a most
depressed state; indeed, this was one of the heaviest
trades we almost ever remember, and prices gave way, corn-
pared with Mond4y last, fully 2d per 81bs. A few few in-
ferior Scots realised 4s 2d, but the general top figure for
beef did not exceed 4s per 81bs.

The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Ei3ex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 2,50) Soots and shorthorns; from
other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; from Scot-
land, 540 Scots ; and from Ireland, 340 oxen, dw.
There was a slight increase in the supply of most breeds
of sheep, the general quality of which was good. The
mutton trade ruled heavy in the extreme, at a fall in the
quotations of 2d per 81bs. The highest value of Downs in
the wool was ss; out of the wool, 4s 21b per 81bs. Long-
woolled wether shorthorns want at barely 4s, and ewes
3s 6d per 81bs.

The demand for lambs ruled inactive, at from 6s to 7s
per Blbs. From the Isle of Wight 70 head came to hand.
Although the supply of calves was very limited, the
veal trade ruled heavy, at Friday's decline in value of 4d
per 81bs. The top price was 5e per 81bs.
For pigs there was scarcely any.demand, and our quo-
tations must be oonsidered nominal.

NEWGATE AND LEADE&HALL.
These markets continue to be very extensively supplied
with meat killed in Scotland and various parts of England.
The supplies slaughtered in the metropolis are only mode-

We have a moderate inquiry for Weald of Kent and
Sussex pockets of last year's growth, at fall prices. All
other hops are very dull, and the quotations are barely
supported. No foreign hops arrived last week.
New Mid and East Kent Pockets, 70s to 120 s ; Weald of
Kent do., 56s to 70s; New Sussex do., 52s to 625; Year-
lings, 21s to 50s.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Rather increased supplies of both English and Scotch
potatoes have come to hand since Monday last, coastwise
and by railway. Frow abroad we have received 200 tons
from Ostend ; 160 tons from Antwerp ; 40 tons from
Paris; 131 tons from Calais ; 200 tons from Dunkirk ;
368 tons from Roueu ; and W tons from Ghent. On the
i
whole a fair average business is doing at our quotations.

CORN EXCHANGE.
Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, which met a slow in-
quiry, on rather easier terms. All kinds of spring corn
were in fair request, at fall prices. Flour ruled very
inactive.
Throughout the Continent, the corn trade continues
dull. In the general quotations, however, no material
change has taken place. In the United States, dullness
continues to prevail.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of English pro-
duce were but moderate. The imports from abroad
amounted to 6,178 qrs. of wheat, 2,020 barley, 982 oats,
3,145 linseed, 3,205 rapeseed, 40 sundry seeds, 734 sacks
and 17,732 brls. of flour.
Fresh up to-day, coastwise and by lani, carriage, the
arrival of English wheat was on a very moderate scale ;
hence the show of samples of both red and white was
limited. The demand, however, for all kinds, owing to
tie heaviness in the provincial markets, sad to a large arri.
val of flour from the United States, was heavy in the ex-
treme, and prices gave way, compared with Monday lest,
fully 2s per quarter. Most of the samples came to hand
in fair average condition.
We wore well suppli,d with all descriptions of foreign
wheat. Even the finest sAmples were much neglected, and
prices, almost generally, were is to 2s per quarter lower
than on this day se'nnight.
Barley—the supply of which was limitel—changed
hands steadily, at fully last week's currency.
The show of malt was tolerably extensive, and all de-
scriptions moved off heavily, at barely stationary prices.
We were fairly supplied with Irish oats ; but the supply
of English and foreign was limited. Sales progressed
slowly ; nevertheless, prices were well supported.
Beans were scarce, and quite as dear as last week.
The few samples of peas in the market realised extreme
rates

We had a very dull inquiry for flour, and prices of all
kinds were ls. to 2s. per sack lower. American barrels
were fully la. cheaper.
