There was only a moderate show of foreign stock in to-
day's market, and the demand for it ruled brisk; on higher
terms.
From our own grazing districts, as well as from Scot-
land, the receipts of beasts fresh up were small, compared
with Monday last, and in fair average condition. The at-
tendance of butchers was rather numerous, and the beef
trade ruled very brisk, at an improvement in the quota-
tions of from 4d to 6d per 81bs. The best sorts readily
prcduced 5s per Sibs, and a demand was easily effected.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridge amounted to 1,600 Scots and short horns; from
other parts of England, 200 of various breeds from Scotland,
160 Scots ; and from Ireland, 30 oxen.
We were but moderately supplied with nearly all breeds
of sheep, and the mutton trade was brisk, at an improve-
ment in value of 4d per 81bs. The best old Downs out of
the wool, sold at 5s 9d per Sibs. We have discontinued to
quote wooled sheep from their scarcity. The quality of
most kinds was very firm.
Lambs were in short supply, and active request, at an
improvement in value of Sd per 81bs, the top figure being
7s per 81bs.
We had a very brisk damand for calves, the supply of
which was limited, at Sd to 10d per 81bs advance.
Pigs moved off slowly, but we have no change to notice
in their value. _

The supplies of home-grown potatoes are only moderate,
and the receipts from Scotland have fallen off. The im-
ports, last week, were seasonably large--viz., 275 tons
from Antwerp, 3 baskets from Emden, 97 tons from Rot-
terdam, 25 tons from Harlingen, 30 tons from Ilambro,
15 toes from Oporto, 75 rackages from Lisbon, 70 tons
from Londonderry, and 90 tons from Newry. The trade
generally is inactive, as follows :
York Regents, 1003 to 170 s per ton ; Kent and Essex do.,
1003 to 1603; Scotch do., 95s to 130 s ; do. cups, 903 to
105 s ; Middlings, 75s to 85s ; Lincolns, 90s to 1103 ; Blues,
80s to 95s ; Foreign, 80s to 90s.
