cerned, under very unpropitious circumstances. It rained
almost cootinuoutly, awn early morn till the conclusicn
of the business. It, however, in no way aai 00000 ly sdected
Lillie—indeed, it might have stinaulatet action. The
number of soeep penned was below te average—an
occurrence entirely unexpected, judging trom the Psns
erected. The animals shown were, generally *waking,
of low condition, nut of excellent breed. Toe prices
readiest—and the whole proc to ling. of toe fair—Were •
dISLIUCI impr.,vespeat upon Sslc.bury. Pelee. ruled at
several shillings a head nigher, whilst the dais, thougo it
at first threatened lob, dull, was brisk and even ready.
Breeders, who were present so ex :ellen& torc •, gene -ally re-
ipooded to the farmers request, the invariable cow prJIUI-0
never greatly affected the demand. Ths quotations m.y
be given at: lambs from Xis. to 46r., owes from 40. to
56.. lii instances exceptional sums were oblein..d. For
example. Mr. D.bben, of BishopstJne, with 100 well*
developed ewes. obtaioed 611., and • rather lower sum for
81 somewhat similar animals. Mr. Meiaorn. obwmel
5105., vroile Kr. Marlow gave 56e, 6L to Mr. Melsonis ft
LSO. Mr. Dibben obtained 40s. • need with 90 due iU
lambs. The highest price for lambs—in tots case it ear
ram lambs—wag the .1:3 • head which Mr. Rtai, of
Brunson, demanded. Igr. Flower (of eoombe) 11,1teki
18s. for his lambs—refusing an offer of 4.5 r. from Mr.
Marlow. In the horse fair . slow trade was dory. rave
ea. • considerable number of cart horses, prices mogul(
from 40as. to alp. There was but a smell show of taw,
while the Inca colts were not well rspraaerwed. Pica
