This is certainly a most unsatisfactory statement as a whole. 

 The consumption in London is increasing every year ; prices 

 have continued to improve ; and even the excessive importations 

 from the Continent have failed to affect the value of English 

 stock. The question, therefore, of an adequate supply of food 

 has become a serious one, more especially as the foreign arrivals, 

 with very few exceptions, are still very deficient in quality. 

 The foreign sheep have shown very little improvement, although 

 some few of them have sold as high as 785. and even SOs. each. 

 They still continue, however, to carry a large quantity of internal 

 fat. Foreign calves, which now form three-fourths of the sup- 

 plies, have sold steadily ; and fair prices have been made for 

 pigs, although the importations exceeded all previous years. 

 The arrivals into London were shipped from the under-mentioned 

 ports : —
