SIVIXTILTIELD.

During the past week, the imports of foreign stock for our
market have consisted of 87 Oxen and Cows, together with
15] Sheep, all from Rotterdam, from the Ocean, Batavier, and
Columbine steamers. At the outports, about 100 Oxen and
Cows have been received. As to the quality of the Beasts,
we may observe that it has proved tolerably good, but that
of the Sheep has been miserably deficient. We had on offer
40 foreign Beasts, and 20 Sheep, the whole of which were
disposed of at fair quotations. The late advance in the value
of Mutton here, as well as in most other parts of England,
has, at length, had some influence upon that of
Beef ; since, although the Bullock supplies on
offer this morning were moderately extensive as
to numbers (yet it must be observed the condition of the
animals was by no means first rate), the Beef trade was
active, at an advance in the quotations obtained on Monday
last of from 2d to 4d per 81bs ; the primest Scots and home-
breds readily producing 4s 6d per 81bs, and, at which, a
clearance was speedily effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk,
Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,500 Scots, home-
breds, and short-horns; while the droves from the northern
grazing districts comprised 250 short-horns, &c. ; from the
Western and Midland Counties, 200 Herefords, Devons,
Runts, &c.; from other parts of England, 200 of various
kinds; and from Scotland, 330 horned and polled Scots.
Although the numbers of Sheep were on the increase, the
primest Old Downs moved off steadily at from 4s 10d to 5s
per albs, but all other breeds were a slow inquiry, and
previous rates were not supported in every instance. From
the Isle of Wight 240 Lambs came fresh to hand, while the
receipts from ether quarters were tolerably good. Prime
qualities sold freely, at extreme rates ; and great difficulty
was experienced in effecting sales of other kinds. In Calves
a fair amount of business was doing at Friday's improved
currencies. The I'ork trade was rather dull, yet previous
rates were supported.

As might be expected, arising from the enhanced cur-
rencies lately ruling here, the arrivals of country-slaughtered
Beef and Mutton, but more particularly those of the latter,
have been considerably on the increase since this day s'nnight ;
while the general quality of the receipts has been good.
Those of Lamb (600 carcases) and Pork have proved only
moderate. With Meat killed in the metropolis we have
been fairly supplied, yet the demand for Beef and Mutton has
continued somewhat active, at, in some instances, further
improved quotations. In Lamb and Pork very little doing,
on somewhet easier terms. Several carcases of foreign Beasts
have found buyers, at prices varying from 3s to 3s 4d
per 8 lba.

The supplies of Potatoes still continuing large, the demand
for them is in a very depress, d state, and prices have a down-
ward tendency. Such is the inactivitx, in the trade that
many of our quotations are nominal. York reds, 35s to 70s;

BOROUGH BOP BIARIKET.
Owing to the prevailing cold winds, the Hop plant is pro-
gressing slowly. In other respects our accounti., from the
plantations are satisfactory. The show of samples is very
small, yet the demand is extremely inactive, at barely sta-
tionary prices.—Sussex pockets, 71 to 813 s; Wealds, 718 s
