To-day's market was but moderately supplied with fo-
reign stock in very middling condition. Tho merino
sheep shipped at Hamburg, sold at 20i to 22s each.
From Norfolk and Suffolk, the receipts of beasts were
seasonably good ; but, from all other quarters, the Arri-
vals were very liwited. The general condition of the
supply was good. For nearly all breeds wo had a slight
improvement in the demand, and, in some instances,
prices were 2.1 per Blbs higher than on Monday last. The
best Scots sold at 4s 6d per 81bs.

bridgeshire amountei to 2,850 Scots and short horns ;
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex,
from other parts of England, 200 of various breeds ; and
from Scotland, 90 Scots. and Cam-

There was a full average show of most breeds of sheep.
Heavy weights met rather a slow sale at last Monday's
currency ; but prime selling sheep were in improved re-
quest, and 2d per 81bs dearer. The primest Downs sold
readily at 4s Bd, and, in some instances, rather more,
per 81bs.
Lambs were in moderate supply and good request, at
from 5s 8d to 7s per 81bs. About:4o) came to hand from
the isle of Wight.
We had a steady inquiry for calves—the supply of sheep
was rather limited—at an advance in prices of fully 2a
per Blbs.
Pigs were a slow inquiry, yet the quotations were wel
supported.

BOROUGH HOP.
There is a fair, though not to say active, demand for
good and fine hops, at fully last week's prices. Inferior
parcels move off slowly on former terms. The quantity of
hops here is very extensive, and the plantation accounts
are favourable.
