SMITHFIELD.

On the near approach of the great Christmas market,
which will be held here on Monday next, the 12th
inst., a very decided improvement is almost invariably
apparent in the general quality of the stock exhibited
for sale, especially as relates to the beasts ; but we
have to intimate that, notwithstanding there were
some few very superior Devons, runts, Scots,
Herefords, and old Sussex, including a few
other breeds, on offer, extremely well made up,
the supply this morning was, the time of year
considered, beneath an average, yet, that expected for
next week, will, doubtless, be very prime. As to the
foreign supplies, nothing fresh was exhibited, there
being only a few Spanish and Hamburgh beasts
brought forward the refuse of last week's supply ;
they commanded very little attention, and even with
difficulty disposed of at miserably low prices. The
imports in London and the outports since our last, as
will be seen by the annexed returns, have been small.
From our grazing districts our bullock receipts to-
day were as follow :-2,360 short horns, runts, and
Irish beasts, from Lincolnshire, Leicestershare,North-
amptonshire, &c. ' • 100 Scots, &c., from Norfolk, Suf-
folk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire ; 400 Herefords,
Devons, runts, and Irish beasts, from our Western
and Midland Counties ; 200 of different kinds from
other parts of England; 30 horned and polled
Scots, but chiefly the latter, by a steamer
from Aberdeen ; and 90 beasts from Dublin,
via railway. Although our number of Beasts
was much about the same as were those exhibited
on this day se'nnight, we have again to report a very
sluggish inquiry for them. However, as the finest
qualities were again scarce, the prices of that de-
scription were maintained—they ruling from 4s to
4s 4d per 81bs ; but to effect clearances of other
sorts a decline of about 2d per 81bs vi as
submitted to by the salesmen. The supply of sheep
has been considerably on the increase, which has a
very depressing influence upon the mutton trade, and
in most instances the quotations rated 2d per 81bs
loWer than last week, and several lots left the market
unsold. The inquiry for Veal was dull at draoping
currences, say of 2d per 81bs. Prime small Porkers
were quite as dear, but large Hogs might have been
purchased on easier terms.
