Although our market exhibited rather an extensive
supply of Beasts as to numbers, a very great deficiency
as to quality was observed in it, especially as relates to
that portion of it derived from our northern grazing dis-
tricts. The attendance of buyers was tolerably numerous,
and notwithstanding the weather was favourable to
slaughtering, the Beef trade was inactive. However,
the primest Scots, Devons, runts, and Herefords, found
buyers, at prices about equal to those obtained on this
day se'nnight, the highest quotation ruling at 4s 2d per
81bs, but the value of all other kinds had a downward
tendency; still a fair clearance was effected previously to
the conclusion of business. From Lincolnshire, Leices-
tershire, and Northamptonshire, we received about
2,300 short horns ; from Yorkshire—principally by
railway-120 beasts ; from the Western and Midland
counties, 200 Runts, Herefords, Durhams, Irish beasts,
&c. ; from other parts of England 190 of various kinds;
from Scotland, by a steamer, 120 horned and polled
Scots ; and from Ireland 50 beasts. A considerable in-
crease was apparent in the supply of Sheep, and which
produced some heaviness in the trade, and the rates in
consequence suffered an abatement of 2d per 81bs ; the
value of the best old Downs, which were rather more
numerous than of late, not exceeding 4s 4d per Sibs.
In Calves, the number of which was scanty, only a
moderate business was transacted, yet the currencies
were firmly supported. For Pigs we have to report a
firm demand, at prices fully equal to those of last week.
We are glad to be enabled to observe that very few cases
of the prevailing epidemic were observed in either beasts
or sheep to-day. Since our last no imports of live stock
have taken place from abroad, neither are any expected
for this market. The state of the demand to-day com-
pletely disappointed the expectations of the salesmen
and others ; but the cause of the depression must be
principally attributed to the immense arrivals of coun-
try-killed meat up to Newgate and Leadenhall-markets ;
and so long as they continue so extensive, so long will
the trade here rule heavy.

A very large arTival of slaughterad meat having
taken place since this day se'nnnight, together with the
supply of that killed in the metropolis being large for
the time of year, the general demand in these markets
has ruled excessively dull. However, in some few in-
stances, the quotations of the primest Beef and Mutton
have been supported, but those of the middling and infe-
rior kinds, as well as of Veal and Pork, have suffered
an abatement of quite 2d. per 81bs.

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
About 2,850 tons of potatoes have arrived in the Pool
since this day se'nnight mostly from Scotland, Yorkshire,
and the Channel Islands. Prime qualities are in request
at full prices ; but in other kinds exceedingly little is
doing.
