METROPOLITAN CATTLN MARKET.

There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock on
offer in to-day's market, and for which there was a steady
demand at full prices.

Compared with Monday last, the tarrvals of horde-fed
beasts were limited ; but their general'. quality was good.
Notwithstanding that the beef trade was by no means
active, prices advanced 2d per Sibs, owing to the compara-
tive scarcity of stock. The best Scots tand crosses sold at
4s 10d per Blbs, and even ss.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,500 Scots, &c. ; from other parts of England,
600 various breeds ; and from Scotia .nd, 200 Scots and
crosses.

The show of sheep was very moderEcte, and the quality
of most breeds was inferior. Prime Do wns and half-bredi
moved oft steadily at very full prices—some of the former
having realised 6d per 8lbs; otherwiscs, the mutton trade
was heavy, at barely late rates.
We were scantily supplied with :lambs, which sold
readily at from 6s 8d to 8s per Blbs.

Calves—the supply of which was sm: all—were steady at
extreme quotations, viz., front 5s to 6s p er Blbs.
There was a moderate inquiry for pii cs at previous cur-
rencies.

NEWGATE AND LEILDENHALL.

The supplies of beef and mutton ,on sale are moderately
extensive, and for all qualities we have to report a sluggish
demand, at fully the late decline. Veal, however, continues
firm ; but pork is a dull inquiry.

BOROUGH HOP.

\Ve have to report continued firma less in the market for
all kind of hops, and, in consequenceb of a falling off in the
imports both from the Continent and! New York, combined
with somewhat unsatisfactory accounts from the plantations,
there are no sellers except at the ext ri3me rates of last week.
