We had a very large show of foreign stock in to-day's
market, and its general quality was tolerably good.
The receipts of beasts front our own grazing districts
were on the increase, compared with Monday last, but
their condition was inferior. Although the attendance of
butchers was tolerably extensive the beef trade ruled
heavy, and prices were quite 2d. per 8113?. lower than on
this day se'nnight. The highest figure for the best Scots
was 4s. 103. per Blbs. •
_ . .

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,320 shorthorns ; from other parts of
Englan I, 600 of various breedn ; from Scotland, 14 Scots ;
and from Ireland, 450 oxen.

There was an increased show of sheep in the market as
to number, but their quality was very middling. The
mutton trade was less actin than last week, and the quo-
tations were supported. The extreme value of the best
Downs was :is. 4d. per 811 s.
Lambs, the supply of which was only moderate, were
in fdr request, at full pr ces, viz., 4s. BJ. to 6s. per Sibs.
About 300 reached us front Irelnd.

The supply of English calve] was limited ; of foreign
moderate. The veal trade was slow, nevertheless last
Monday% currency was sippor tod.
We had a slow inquiry for pigs, at last week's currency.

A few parcels of new hops are on sale here, but the
transactions in them are limited. The plantation accounts
are tolerably favourable, and the duty is called 155,0001.
to 160,0001. Both yearling and old hops are very dull,
and drooping in price.

SEEDS.
There has been a better feeling in the demand for canary
seed, and prices generally are on the advance. Linseed is
Tirm at full prices. Rapeseed is quite at dear as last week.
Other descriptions are steady, and last week's prices are
well supported.
