BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
We scarcely ever recollect such large supplies of New Po-
tatoes on sale, nor at any previous corresponding period of
the year as at present ; yet the demand is active, at prices
varying from 2s 3d to 5s per cwt.

SMITHrIELD.
The imports of foreign stock for our market since this day
se'nnight have been again extensive—having amounted
to 230 Oxen and Cows from Holland, 39 ditto from Germany,
and 20 ditto from Spain. The receipts of Sheep have been
340 ; of Calves, 50 head, all from Rotterdam. At Hull, there
have been received about 100 Beasts and 50 Sheep. In to-
day's market we had on offer nearly 160 Beasts from Rotter-
dam, 20 ditto from Germany, 8 ditto from Spain, together
with 160 Sheep. The general quality of this stock was about
a full average ; indeed, there were some excellent Busts on
show. The demand for them, however, was inactive,
and the quotations had a downward tendency. arising
from the large increase in the arrivals from our own districts.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, as well as our northern and midland
counties, the Bullock droves fresh up this morning were,
comparatively speaking, large, even for the time of year;
while a very great improvement was noticed in their general
quality; particularly in the Short-horns, Devons, Herefords,
and Runts; indeed, we may venture to observe, that a much
finer show was scarcely ever noticed here during the present
month. This may be chiefly attributed to the abundance of
pasture herbage. Prospectively a further increase in quality
may be expected, conseqnently no Immediate advance can
be anticipated in value. Although the attendance of buyers
was rather numerous, the Beef trade was in a very de-
pressed state, and, in most transactions, the quotations
ruled 2d per 81bs under those obtained on Mon-
day last. The highest Aggro for the best Scots
did not exceed 4s 2d per Sibs, and at which a clearance
w is not effected. The numbers of Sheep were larger than
those exhibited for some time past. Although there was an
improvement in their condition, the primest old Downs sold
at prices quite equal to those paid last week....viz., from 4s
10.1 to 5s per 81b; but all other breeds met a dull inquiry,
and the quotations were with difficulty supported. The
gradual increase in the receipts of Sheep, and the improve-
ment noticed in their quality, lead us to the con-
clusion that ere long, especially should the arrivals con.
tinue to improve (of which we have little doubt).
lower currencies will be accepted by the salesmen. The " sea-
son" for Lamb is now fast drawing to a close. yet the arrivals
from Kent, Sussex, and the Northern counties were again
large. Rir all kinds the demand ruled heavy at a depression
in value of 2d per 81bs. The very highest figure was ss. Bd.
per Blbs. On the whole we had a fair sale for Calves, INA
