BRISTOL THURSDAY,—A holiday, owing to the
September fair having been held on the previous day.
The places all round were almost filled with Wedne.s.
day's leavings, and buyers having generally made their
purchases at the great fair, little business was done.

METROPOLITAN, THURSDAY. —We have
about the same number of beasts as last Thursday,
but still the average quality is very middling ; trade is
active at fully Nlnnclity's quotations. There arc not
so many sheep and lambs here to day, the principal
consignments of foreign having gone to Deptford.
Trade for sheep is about the same as of late, but for
lambs scarcely as good, as the season is now drawing
to a close. Calves are plentiful and rather cheaper.
There are go English and so foreign mulch cows ;
trade is dull for them. Our foreign supply consists of
320 beasts, t,620 sheep. and 580 calves.

SEEDS.

The trade for farm seeds continues in the same quiet
state described by us last week. A few samples of
new French red clover seed have been shown on Mark-
lane ; but the business actually transpiring in clovers
generally, and also in trefoils, is almost nil. There
is a fair demand for trifoliurn incamatum at about late
rates. N eVI French-Italian moves off more freely.
For sowing rape seed the sale is slow. New English
mustard seed is now to hand ; but prices are not yet
definitely fixed. We have a strong demand for winter
tares, and the supply being small long prices arc ob-
tained: the great majority of the samples whih have
as yet appeared are poor in quality. Canary seed,
owing to increased arrivals, is obtainable on easier
terms. Blue boiling peas continue scarce and dear.
For sowing rye there is a good request. Winter barley
and oats are unchanged in value.—John Shaw and
Sons.

IttiITOL—WOOL FAIR.
There was barley an average attendance at this fair
on Thursday. Down sorts continued fiat, and little
business was done. In long wools, the difference
between buyers and sellers prevent,,l much business
being done, but • few transactions took place at late
rates. The scarcity of old skin combings continued,
and high rates were given for them where obtainable.
With regard to the whole business of the fair, prices
might be said to be nominally unchanged. The
following have been furnished us as the quotations at
which business was done on Thursday :—Flecces :
Tegs, ; wethers, 17d; Down fleeces t7d ; shorn
lambs, 17d ; skin lambs, 170 to thd ; seconds, 1455 d
to 15d; super skin, ; naatchings, zod to 2055 d ;
brown tsgd, say cost i3sd; grey wools, tad to Is.
