We had a fair show of foreign stock in to-clay's market
as to unrobar, but its general quality was very inferior.
Prices, consequently, ruled low.

For the time of year the receipts of beasts fresh up from
our own grazing districts were moderately good. The
condition of the stock, however, was very middling. With
the exception of the primest Scots and short-horns being
in moderate request at full prices, the beef trade ruled
heavy at barely last week's currencies.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,350 Scots and short-horns; from Lincolnshire,
780 short-horns ; from other parts of England, 200 of va-
rious kinds ; and, from Scotland, 27 Scots.
Owing to the scarcity of grass in the pastures, there was
a considerable increase of sheep in but middling condition.
The demand for all kinds was in a depressed state, at a
decline in the quotations of from 2d to 4d per Blbs. The
top figure for the best Downs was 4s 6,1 per 81bs.
There was a large number of lambs in the market, and
the lamb trade was, consequently, heavy, at from 6d to
10J per Sibs beneath last Monday's quotations.
The show of English calves was linaited, of foreign very
extensive, and the veal trade was very inactive, at 2d per
Sibs less money.

Pigs—the supply of which was.good, sold slowly at
former terms.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
The imports of foreign potatoes last week wore only
1,293 baskets from Rotterdam. The supplies of English
continue moderate, and a steady busicesi is doing in them
at from 6s to 16s per cwt. The accounts respecting the
appearance of the crop are vary favourable.
