though Monday's prices were supported. For Foreign Wheat
there was a fair retail trade, at fully previous rates. The
supply of Barley was small. Malting parcels sold freely;
other kinds slowly, at stationary prices. The demand Let

Notwithstanding the supply of beasts was very moderate,
the beef trade, owing to the thin attendance of buyers, wa,
in a sluggish state, and in some instances the quotations ha
u
a downward tendency. The numbers of sheep were un-
usually small. Prime old Downs sold briskly at an advance
of 2d per Blbs, but the value of all other kinds remained un-
altered Calves were" in short supply and active demand at
full rates. Pigs moved off slowly, yet late currencies were
supported. In milch cows very little was doing at from 161
to 191 each. . •

BOROUGH HOP BTAR/CHT.
Although the amount of business doing
in new hops 'this
week has not been to say extensive, the quotations are
steadily supported in every instance. The value of old hops
is still slightly on the advance, with a very limited quantity
on show.
