POULTRY.

The market is very firm for good fresh supplies, which
aro short. Fowl are very dear. Other poultry
without much alteration. We quote —Surrey fowls, 7s to
lOs ; chickens, 4s to 5s ; Essex fowls, 3s 6d to 4s ed ;
best, 3s to 3s 6d each; rabbits, tame, is 6d to 2s; duck-
lings, 3s to 3s 6d ; goslings, 5s 6d to Gs 6d each.
EGGS remain without quotable change.
BOROUGH HOP.

MessrS. Hoary Turnbull and Co. report there continues
a fair demand for the better sorts of new English and
foreign hops, and prices are firmly supported. In some
instances coloury Sussex make more money. Other sorts
rule dull, at -uneven quotations. The general reports
from the Continental markets aro better, and there it a
fair inquiry, at fully late prices. New York advicos are
more encouraging.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of beasts was rather shorter than last week,
the number of sheep and lambs were about on a par. The
accounts of last week's dead meat markets made butchers
cautious, but reports of the dead meat trade being rather
more cheerful this morning salesmen were not inclined to
give way, and trade was consequently ,low.
Of beasts there were IGU from Scotland, 2,217 from
various parts of England, nil from Ireland, and 1,093
from the Continent.

...-
The beef trade ruled dull, and foreign stock ;were in
poor su,Thly, prices were lower.
Of sheep and lambs the supplies were 5.090 from abroad.
