CATTLE.

BRISTOL., THURSDAV.--Market well supplied
with fat 'reef, although the consignments from Ireland
were again very limited. There. was a fair inquiry,
and a good deal of business was done early in the day.
Best descriptions fetched from 82s. to 84%, and mid..
dling samples from 735. to 77% per cwt. Mutton DOD
mocll slimier than it has been of late, and trade being
rather better, prices went up a shade. lies& wethers
fetched 8d• per lb. out of the wool, and heavy ewes
71. We had a good show of lamb, which met with a
ready sale at is. per lb. The consignments of Irish
store cattle are becoming larger, and trade scents to
be reviving a little, though it is still very dull, and
prices keep high. We had a fair supply of milch
cows, but trade was rather slow, prices ranging from
£l3 to‘24. There were from 900 to 1,000 pigs OD
offer, but the weather checked trade, and holders
submitted to a reduction in order to effect a clearance.
Both bacon pigs and porkers sold at I is. 6d., and a
few choice light porkers fetched 12%.
METROPOLITAN, THURSDAIN—We have a
few more English but a much smaller number of
foreign beasts than last Thursday. Trade is active at
about Monday's quotations. Of sheep there are more
foreign and fewer English ; there is scarcely any alter-
ation in the trade from Monday. There is a con-
siderable number of middling calves, but many choice;
prices for the latter have rather advanced. Trade is
very heavy for milch cows; there are 54 English, and
70 Dutch. Our foreign supply consists of 15 beasts,
3,500 sheep, 410 calves, and 70 ?pitch cows.

FARM NOTES IN DORSET.

A present anxiety in this eider district is the fate of the
apple trees; and notwithstanding the fine coop of fruit
last year, the blossom is equal to that of the fernier
season, and if fine warm rains shoohl sumer, pretty soon.
we look forward to a goal " of (mit" Corn of all
kinds is looking unusually well. Our comparatively thin
*owe is all too thick: awl the middle of some patches of
wheat and barley treated with soda nitrate, at the rat. of
1 cwt. to an acre is twice the height and double the
depth of colour of tivise bits surrounding them. Peas are
looking well, and never do we remember this crop so free
from inserts ; indeed, the i'pen weather seems to have
allowed birds to get at insect life to its destruction, for,
As • Me, insects are yet as far from abundant; and as we
usually suffer so di from wireworm. our present
Immunity is a great advantage to the farm. Ida not think
there will he a heavy crop of grass in fact, it will he
quite others' toe unless ruin comes non. Seeds look
tolerably well eserywhere. Stock, which was turned out
earlier than is doing well; and never dn we
✓emember to have seen healthier lambs than are all
around us this season. Work is well forward, and has
generally been sery fairly done.

WOOL.

The market has remained extremely quiet during
the Feist week, and prices if anything are a shade
weaker, notwithstanding the general firmness shown
by holders. The fact is that in the present unsettled
state of the labour market no one care, to buy except
from hand to mouth as orders come in, especially
since, with the clip near at hand, it is an object to
work down prices as low as possible. It is also a
question how far the misery likely to follow on the
present strike and lock-out may affect the consuming
powers of the masses.

SEEDS.

The usual summer quietness appears to have now
settled down upon Our seed trade. A few small
orders for clovers, &c., continue to drop in, but these
are gradually diminishing in number. Scarcely any
speculative inquiry has yet sprung up. For mustard
and rape seed we have a brisk demand ; the stochs on
hand of both these descriptions are exceedingly small,
and with bad accounts of the growing crops values arc
tending upwards. The trade for spring tares appears
to he about over. In canary seed the continued
advance now, the la.t few weeks has been well sus-
tained. Under the pres,ure of considetable scarcity
and some capon demand, this article has now attained
a very long price ; hemp seed, on the other hand,
continue: cheap and neglected. The recent frosts are
reported to have done great ilainage to the crops of
peas, &c.—John Shaw and Sow,.
