Theze was only a limited show of foreign stock in to-
day's market. The sheep appeared in fair condition ; but
the general quality of the beasts was inferior. From our
own grazing districts the receipts of beasts, fresh up this
mornirg, were limited for the time of year, but their gene-
ral condition was tolerably good. Nearly all breeds met a
dull inquiry, but, compared witli Monday last, we have
no change to notice in prices. The best Scots sold at
43 8d per 81bs.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire, amountc I to 2,760 short horns ; from
other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; from Scot-
land. 240 Scots, and from Ireland, 236 oxen.
Notwithstanding that the show of sheep was again
limited, the mutton trade ruled very inactive. The primeat
Downs realised last Monday's quotations; but, in some
instanees, long woolled sheep were a shade lower. About
3C3 Irish sheep were in the market.
We were but moderate;y supplied with calves, which
moved off steadily at full prices.
The pork trade was heavy, but we have no change to re-
port in the quotations.
The great Christmas market will be held here on Mon-
day next.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
These markets continue to be very moderately supplied
with both English and Scotch potatoes. During last week
the imports were as follows :-6 sacks from Emden, 40
tons from Boulogne, 400 tons from Dunkirk, 4 tons from
Harlingen, 9 bags from Dordt, 4 tons from Rotterdam, 120
tone from Louvain°, 150 tons from Antwerp, 9J tons from
Groningen, 140 tons from Newport, 80 tons from Rouen,
and 86 baskets from Amsterdam. Owing to the high
prices demanded by the growers the trade ruled heavy, as
follows

York regents, 140 s to 1603 per ton ; Essex and Kent,
1003 to 140 s ; Scotch, 80s to 120 s ; data cups, 70s to 803 ;
Lincoln's, 1108 to 120 s; foreign, 55s to 655.
