We had a very large show of foreign stock in to-day's
market, and its general quality was tolerably good.
The receipts of baasts from 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 slbs. lower than on
this day se'nnight. The highest figure for the best Scots
was 4s. 10d. per 8113 e.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,320 shorthorns ; from other parts of
Englan 1, 600 of various breeds ; 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 active than last week, and the quo-
tations were supported. The extreme value of the best
Downs was be. 4d. per Blbs.

Lambs, the supply of which was only moderate, were
in fair request, at full prices, viz., 4s. 81. to Gs. per 81bs.
About 300 reached us from Irelnd.

The supply of English calves wits limited ; of foreign
moderate. The veal trade was slow, nevertheless last
Monday's currency was supported.

We had a slow inquiry for pigs, at last week's currency.

IOROUQH HOP.
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 155,000!.
to 160,000/. Both yearlieg and old hops are very dull,
and drooping in price.

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