Compared with that exhibited on Monday last, the
supply of Beasts here was but moderate, though, for the
time of year it proved seasonably good. As to the qua-
lity of the stuck, it was by no means first-rate, yet there
were some well made-up beasts amongst it. The weather
being somewhat favourable to slaughtering, the attend-
ance of both town and country buyers good, and the
dead markets being well cleared of their last week's sup-
plies, caused the Beef trade this morning to rule some-
what active at an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81b,
the best Scots readily producing 4s—in some instance
more—per 810, and at which the whole found pur-
chasers. Several cases of disease were noticed amongst
the beasts, but they were not of a serious character.
During the past week the imports of stock into London
and the various out-ports have been good, and of some-
what improved quality. The numbers have amounted to
sixty beasts from Rotterdam, and thirty ditto from
Hamburgh. These importations, added to those previ-
ously advised this year, show the following supplies :
London, 1,230 ; Liverpool, 86 ; Hull, 480 ; South-
ampton, 160 ; Devonport, 30 ; total, 1,986 head of beats.
In addition to the above about 30 Sheep have been re-
ceived into London, and 180 at the out-ports, ex-
clusive of 40 Calves. To-day the supply of fo-
reign stock was confined to 22 Oxen and Cows from
Rotterdam in fair condition, and for which
rather higher prices were obtained by the speculators.
The northern droves of beasts consisted of about 1,000
short horns. Those from Not folk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire, were composed of 400 Scots and home-
breds; those from the western and midland counties, of
350 Hereford, Deron, Herts, &c. From other parts of
England, 350 of various breeds; while, from Scotland,
we received 150 Scots, and, from Ireland, 30 beasts.
The supply of Sheep was smaller than that exhibited
last week; nevertheless, it was fully adequate to meet
the wants of the butchers. The Mutton trade was very
steady, and previous rates were firmly supported. The
number of Lambs were rather limited, yet the Lamb
trade was inactive, at our quotations. In Calves, the
number of which was small, very little was doing, at late
rates. The Pork trade was tolerably steady, and last
week's currencies were supported.

lITEIVGATB AND IsEILIIMNIZZLIGIL.
The prevailing mild weather has produced rather an
extensive arrival of slaughtered meat from distant parts
of England since this day se'nnight, in good condition,
though the quality has been by no means first-rate.
About thirty carcases of Dutch Beasts have been on
sale, and a decided improvement has been observed in
them compared with those previously offered. The rates
obtained hare averaged 2s 10d per 81b. The supply of
Meat killed in London has been good. Prime Beef,
Mutton, and Pork, are selling steadily ; other kinds of
meat slowly, at but little variation in the quotations.

From the above, it will be seen that another addition
has been made to the warehoused stock of Colonial
Wool in London, yet there are several vessels now on
their passage homewards with full cargoes. The public
sales (which commence to-morrow) have been
increased to nearly 20,000 bales, and, it is
fully expected they will exceed 25,000 bales
ere they have been brought to a conclusion. On an
inspection of the wools we find some unusually fine
marks of the far-famed flocks of Mr. Seeley ; in fact,
we look upon the parcels about to be submitted to public
competition the most even, perhaps the best ever brought
forward. Some time since—say in the early part of
last year—false packing was much complained of by the
buyers ; this, however, we have every reason to assume,
is not the case at present. The wool is very free from
burr, and extremely elnan. The sales on the 24th, 26th,

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
The returns for the past week show a very large ar-
rival of English Wheat, or of upwards of 11,000 quarters,
whilst that of most other kinds of Grain of home pro-
duce was on the increase, particularly Barley. Of
Foreign Corn the imports were less than for some
time past. Fresh up the receipts of Wheat, coastwise
as well as by land-carriage and sample, were very limited,
yet the show of samples were good, though chiefly com-
posed of those left over from last week. Owing to the
large attendance of millers, most of whom appeared to
be short of stock, the demand for the finest qualities of
both red and white English Wheat was active, and in
some few instances, a trifle more money was obtained.
In all other kinds, a fair amount of business was doing
at full prices. By accounts received from the
north of England, we learn that nearly the whole
of the crops have been secured. The supply
of fine foreign Wheat was by no means exten-
sive. For the best qualities the sale was steady at
full currencies, but in other kinds very little was doing.
Corn, under lock, was a dull sale, and almost nominal in
value. The arrivals of Barley both English and Foreign
having been good, that article was in a very sluggish
state, and we have to report a decline in its value of Is
per quarter. Duty has been paid on about 4,000
quarters in the course of the week. Of Malt the show
was tolerably good. The trade was, however, extremely
inactive, and the currencies gave way Is per quarter,
and a large portion of the supply was left over for Wed-
nesday. The total supplies of Oats, arising principally
from an increase in those from Ireland, were good. Fine
qualities were steady, other kinds dull at previous quota-
tions. The supply of beans was seasonably good, yet the de-
mand was steady, at last week's prices. In Peas only a
limited business was doing, yet previous rates were sup-
ported. The Flour trade was rather inactive, yet the
quotations obtained were about stationary ones. In the
Seed market comparatively little was doing, if we except
Linseed Cakes, which were held at a trifle more money
