There was rather an extensive show of foreign stocks in
to•day's mark et, but its general quality WU inferior.
. .

From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were seasonably good as to number,
but deficient in quality. For all kinds of beasts we expe-
rienced a very inactive demand, and last week's prices
were with difficulty supported. The Norfolk season for
beasts may now ba considered closed.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 2,100 short horns; from Norfolk, 250
Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of England,_ 400
of various kinds; from Scotland, 110 Scots; aid from
Ireland, 150 oxen.

There was a large show of sheep. Prime Downs and
half-breds were in fair request, at full quotations; other-
wise, the mutton trade ruled heavy, and prices gave way
2d per 81bs.
Lambs—the supply of which was good—met a dull
inquiry, at prices barely equal to Monday last. About
600 Irish sheep and lambs were on sale.

The few English calves in the market sold at full prices.
Foreign calves were dull, and the turn lower, owing to
large arrivals.

We had a heavy inquiry for pip—the supply of wbich
was good—at previous rates.

NEWGA.TB AND LBADENHALL.
For the time of year these markets are well supplied
with meat. Prime beef, mutton, and lamb are in steady
request, at very full prices. Otherwise, the trade is in
a very inaotive state.

BOROUGH HOP.
There is a slight improvement in the inquiry for good
and fine hops, bat the business doing in them is limited.
Low and middling qualities are very dull. The show of
samples is seasonably large, and the plantation accounts
are favourable. Duty, 230,0001.

BOROUGH AND SPITA.LFIELDS.
Since Monday last the imports of foreign potatoes hnve
amounted to 20 bags from Rotterdam, and 159 baskets
from Dieppe. The supplies of English are seasonably
large and in excellent condition ; whilst the demand is
steady, at from 50s to 1295.
