NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

The supply of beef and mutton is seasonably good—of
other kind of meat very moderate. The trade generally is
rather inactive ; nevertheless, very little change has taken
place in pricss.

BOROUGH HOP.
Owing, in some measure, to the backward state of the
bine, there is rather an extensive business doing in nearly
all kinds of hops, the show of which is rather limited, at
fully last week's advance in the quotations.
Mid and East Kent pockets 9os to 160 s per cwt.
Weald of Kent do 7os to 90s „

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Since Monday last only limited supplies of potatoes have
come to hand, coastwise and by land carriage, but their
general quality is good. The imports have amounted to
224 bags from Rotterdam, and 100 tons from Dunkirk.
Generally speaking, the trade rules firm, as follows :
York Regents, 100 s to 140 s ; do. Flukes, 160 s to 290 s ;
Lincolns, 90s to 100 s ; Scotch, 70s to 100 s per ton. New
potatoes, lfis to 24s per cwt.
WOOL MARKET.
Although the public sales continue to be fairly attended
by buyers, prices still show a decline, when compared with
the previous rates, of 11d to 3d per lb. The following
quotations have been paid :—Sydney—Clean sheep's, is 81d
to 2s 31d ; locks, Is 3d ; skin, is to is 21d. Port

The imports last week were very large—viz., 26,292 bales,
wholly from our colonies. The private market is in a de-
pressed state, and prices are drooping.
SEEDS.
Linseed continues to move off slowly, at barely stationary
prices. Rapeseed is dull, and is. per quarter cheaper.
Canary is in steady request, at fully last week's quotations,
but all other seeds are a slow inquiry. Cakes are rather
inactive, but not cheaper.

PUBLIC INVESTMENTS IN RAILWAYS.—Some
idea may be formed of the extent to which the public have
invested in railway stocks during the past account, tempted
no doubt by the low prices, from the fact that Mr. Mihil
Slaughter, secretary of the railway department of the Stock
Exchange, certified in one day over 700 separate transfers,
representing in the aggregate more than £340,000 stock.—
