Our market was on the whole but moderately supplied
with Beasts the time of year considered, but their qua-
lity was very superior to that which we have noticed in
many previous corresponding markets at this season.
Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather
we had a large number of buyers in attendance, owing
to which the Beef trade was active, at an advance on the
currencies obtained on this day se'nnight, of from 2d to:4d
per 81bs, and at that improved value a clearance was
easily effected. Although a few very superior Scots
found purchasers at 4s 4d, we consider the highest gene-
ral figure for Beef not to have exceeded 4s 2d per Sibs.
The northern droves of beasts were composed of about
1,600 short horns. Those from the western and mid-
land districts comprised 450 Herefords, Devons, Herts,
Scots, &c. From other parts of England, we received
350 of various breeds ; from Ireland, 30 beasts, and from
Scotland, 90 horned and polled Scots. As to sheep, they
came rather freely to hand, and, for the most part, in
excellent condition. The butchers, however, were cau-
tious in their purchases ; hence the mutton trade must
be considered dull, though last week's quotations were
well supported—prime old Downs realizing quite 4s 8d
per 81bs. The numbers of calves were about equal to
meet the wants of the dealers, and nearly, or quite, the
whole of them were disposed of at Friday's advanced
rates. The Pork trade was rather active, and the rates
were quite as high as those on this day se'nnight.
During the past week, no importations of live stock have
taken place for our market, and we had none on sale here
to-day.

NEW GATE AND LEADENEALL.
Notwithstanding a very great falling off has taken
place in the receipts of country-killed meat up to these
markets during the past week, the supplies from most
quarters have been seasonably large, and, comparatively
speaking, of fair average quality. Although the supply
of London-killed meat has been good, the trade with
most descriptions—but especially with the best Beef,
Mutton, and Pork—has ruled steady, and prices have
been firmly supported.

The Tallow Market has continued in a sluggish state.
The quotation in our statement is the exact price for
small parcels of Y.C. on the spot, while the price for
January and February is 41s. The actual stock is
37,500 casks, including two or three vessels yet to ar-
rive. Town Tallow is plentiful, and the price 40s net
cash. Melted stuff, 30s ; rough ditto, 19s.
BOROUGH AND BIPITALTAPIETADI3.
A fair average ,quantity of Potatoes has reached the
water-side during the weak. Although the weather has
continued mild, prime qualities have been in demand at
full prices. In other kinds of Potatoes, however, very
little has been doing.

BOROVOR HOP MARKET.
We have still to report a very steady demand for all
descriptions of new Hops, and prices, in some instances,
are looking upward ; indeed, many parties have with-
drawn their samples altogether from the market, under
the impression that the higher rates will be obtained
within a few weeks. The quantity of Hops on offer is,
therefore, unusually small. In old. Hops, the quotations
of which are uncertain, very little is doing.
WOOL MARKET.
Since this day se'nnight, the imports of foreign and
colonial Wool have been on a very moderate scale. As
is almost invariably the case at this period of the year,
the demand for most descriptions of Wool is heavy, yet
we have noticed no alteration in prices.
