METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer
in our market to-day. The demand was somewhat heavy
at drooping prices.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were again very moderate, and in but middling
condition. Nearly all breeds moved off slowly at a decline
in the quotations compared with Monday last of 2d per 81b.
The receipts of stock from Ireland and Scotland were
limited. _ _

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, andNorthamptonshire
we received 1,300 shorthorns, &c., from other parts of Eng-
land 800 various breeds, from Scotland 21 Scots, and from
Ireland 120 oxen and heifers.
With sheep we were tolerably well, but not to say
heavily, supplied. With some few exceptions they came
to hand otherwise than in good condition. The demand
was heavy, and the currencies gave way 2d per 81b. The
best Downs and half-breds sold at 68 41b per 81b.
Calves were in moderate supply and steady request at
full prices, viz., from 4s 4d to 5s 4d per 81b.
Store pigs moved off freely at fully late quotations.
Otherwise the pork trade was heavy on former terms.

BOROUGH HOP.

The accounts from the plantations aro by no means so
favourable as could be wished, the recent rains having
kept the plant in a backward state ; nevertheless the mar-
ket is fairly supplied with now hops, which change hands
steadily at prices varying from £6los to £8 per cwt. The
import into London last week consisted of 51 bales from
Hamburg, and 104 bales from Boulogne.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
These markets are fairly supplied with potatoes, tho
demand for which is steady at our quotations.
