The imports of live stock from abroad into London during
the past sieek have consisted of 140 Oxen and Cows, toge-
ther with 240 Sheep. and 8 Calves from Rotterdam ; and 20
Oxen from Hamburgh, in, for the most part, good condition.
This morning we had on sale 96 Dutch Oxen and Cows and
130 Sheep, the whole of which found buyers at about previous
quotations. At Hull about 300 Beasts and Sheep have ar-
rived. The number would have been larger had not two
cargoes of Beasts on their way from Rotterdam bs.en thrown
overboard. in consequence of the late gales. From our own
grazing districts the fresh arrivals of Beasts this morning
were very extensive, and of full average quality;
indeed, there were some if the best short-horns in the
market we ever witnessed at this period of the year.
Although the attendance of buyers was good, the Beef trade
was vary dull, at a decline in the quotations obtained on
Monday last cf, 2d per Blbs, and a clearance was not effected.
The northern droves of beasts amounted to 2,100 short-horns ;
those from the eastern counties comprising 400 Scots; from
the western and midland districts 800 Herefords, Devons,
Runts, &c. ; from other parts of England 200 of various
kinds ; from Scotland 90 Scots ; and from Ireland, partly
be railway, and partly by steamers direct, 300 beasts.
The numbers of Sheep being on the increase, the sale for
that description of stock was very inactive. Prime old
Downs, which were scarce, produced full currencies ; but all
other kinds suffered a decline of 2d per Sibs. Calves were in
moderate supply, and heavy demand, at Friday's depression.
Nearly 250 Pig's were on sale from Ireland. The Pork trade
was in a sluggish state, and prices were not supported.

Since this day se'nnight, the arrivals of slaughtered meat,
from Scotland-and various parts of England, have been
somewhat on the increase, and of full average quality; while
the supplies, killed in the metropolis, have proved tolerably
good. Owing to the high rates demanded, the butchers
have purchased cautiously; hence, the general demand must
be considered inactive, at, in some instances, a slight de-
pression in the quotations. A few carcases of foreign
Beef and Mutton have sold at full quotations. A small
importation of dead Meat has taken place from Rotterdam;
but the condition was by no means first rate.

WOOL.
About 2,000 bales of Wool have been imported during the
week, chiefly from South America. Notwithstanding the
large quantity purchased at the late public sales, there is a
fair business cloing in the private contract markets, and prices
are well supported.

T. 112.1.01.7.7.
The price of fine Y.C., both on the spot and for forward
delivery, is at a premium upon the quotations of this day.
For delivery now fine Y.C. is 42s 3d., and for December 42s 6d.
whilst it would be difficult to a seller of fine Y.C, for that
period at 435. The demand is not falling off, but rather on
the increase, which will, of course, reduce the stock, which
it is expected, will, not exceed 25,000 casks on the Ist of
January next. Town Tallow 41s 6d to 42s net cash.
