The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was vie
moderate, and its general quality was by no moans first'
rate. The whole of the supply changed hands on high°
terms.
Compared with Monday last the arrivals of homs-fei
beasts exhibited a deficiency', both as to number and
quality. For ail kinia the demand ruled active, and
prices advanced 2d per 81bs. The best Scots sold ready
at 5s per 81bs, and a good clearance was effected.
The receipts of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Caxibridgeshire amounted to 1,600 Scots and shorthorn;
from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds; from
Scotland, 300 Scots ; and from Ireland, 50 oxen.
We had a very limited show of sheep, but their general
weight was good, The mutton trade ruled firm, and ;View"
further advanced 2d per 81bs. The best old Downs in the
wool sold at 6s per 81bs. Shorn sheep were in req110424
is per Sibs under that quotation. This is the Veal.'"
difference in price almost ever known, but it arises troll!
the high value of skins, and the great activity in the Wo"
trade.
Calves were in short supply and steady request, at yen
full prices. The highest quotation for veal was 53.1 w
per Blbs.
There was a moderate inquiry for pigs, at last week's
quotations.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
The arrivals of home-grown potatoeP, since Monday.lass4

excess of the demand, lower prices have been accepted by
the factors. The imports have amounted to 18 heave°
from Nieu Diep, 25 tons from Rotterdam, 74 tons from
Terceira, and 10 tons from Harnbro'.

SEEDS.
Owing to numerous arrivals off coast from the Black
Sea and Egypt, linseed is easier to buy. Bombay offers at
725, and fine Calcutta 69s to 70s per
quarter. The greater
portion of the rapeseed arriving from Calcutta is still out
of condition ; tho range of prices is consequently wide.
Fine sound has brought 681; Calcutta peelseed 62s to 63s ;
and Niger 50s per quarter. Cakes are inactive, with
prices in favour of buyers. Marseilles has been sold at a
reduction of 53 per ton. Turnie,White,per Cash. 20s to 21,
