METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

-- ---
There was a full average supply of each kind of foreign
k on offer into-day's market, and the. demand ruled in-
active at barely stationary prices, to slightly reduced rates.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were seasonably good as to number,
but somewhat deficient in quality. Prime Scots, crosses,
and short-horns were in fair request at about stationary
prices ; but inferior breeds moved off heavily at, in some
instances, 2d per 81bs less money. The best lots sold at
58 per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 1,550 short-horns, &c. ; from other parts
of England, 1,200 various breeds; from Scotland, 200
Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 150 oxen and heifers.
There wag a fair average show of sheep in the market.
Downs and
.half-breds commanded a steady sale at extreme
currencies. Other breeds moved off slowly, but at full
prices. The best Downs changed hands at 5s 4d per 81bs.
Good and prime lambs moved off freely at fall curren-
cies. Inferior breeds ruled chill at about previous rates.
Calves—the supply of which was good—were a dull in-
quiry at last week's prices.
The demand for pigs was much restricted, at last week's
prices.

BOROUGH HOY.
The accounts from the Plantations are much more fa-
vourable, and the duty has advanced to £120,000.
All
kinds of hops are a dull inquiry, and prices rule next to
nominal. There were no imports of foreign hops into Lon-
don last week.
