There was rather an extensive supply of foreign stock on
offer in to-day's market, in, for the most part, fair average
condition.

The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts
were seasonably large as to number, but somewhat deficient
in quality. The primest Scots, &c., were in moderate re-
quest, at full prices ; otherwise, the beef trade was in a
sluggish state, and the quotations had a drooping tendency.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, , and Northampton-
shire we received 1,650 short horns and crosses; from other
parts of England, 1,200 of various breeds; from Scotland,
50 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 172 oxen and
heifers.

There was rather a large supply of sheep in the pens.
Prime Downs, half-breds, &c., were in fair request, at full
quotations. Other breeds of sheep moved off slowly, at
about previous currencies.

Lambs—the show of which was tolerably good—sold at
previous rates, but, the demand for them was by no means
active. About 800 came to hand from Ireland.

_ --,----
The veal trade was far from brisk, yet prices were sup-
ported. Foreign calves came freely to hand.
We had a slight improvement in the pork trade, at full
quotations.

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.
The supplies of meat here to-day are moderately good.
Prime beef, mutton, veal, and pork are in steady request, at
very full prices; otherwise the demand rules inactive, at
late currencies.

BOROUGH HOP.
As the plantation accounts continue favourable, the de-
mand for all kinds of hops is heavy, at next to nominal
quotations. Duty, £260,000

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
The supplies of home-grown potatoes have rather in-
creased, but their general quality is by no means first-rate.
The demand may be considered steady. York Regents are
selling at from 1100 s to 140 s, and Shaws 70s to 90s per
ton.

SEEDS.
Linseed has been in moderate request, and late rates have
been well supported. New rapeseed moves off steadily, at
full prices. Canary is a slow inquiry, on former terms. In
the value of other seeds no material change has taken place.
Cakes command very little attention.
