CATTLE, &c.

DONCASTER NOVEMBER FAIR.-This fair took place
on the 16th instant. The show of Cattle on this occasion far
exceeded what we hare ever seen at the previous November
fairs. Nor was this deficient in quality, as numerous lots of
very fine stock might be found exhibited for salt. The
demand for lean cattle was only languid ; sellers were un-
willing to take lower rates, consequently not so much busi-
ness was done. Sales could only be effected at a trilling
reduction below edd rotes. The show of fat was not so lme,
yet there was a supply of good quality, and priorvaned
from 6s. 6d. to 7s. 6d. per stone. In-Calves and Cows and
Calves scarce, much in request, and good prices accordingly
maintained. In Sheep very little doing, and prices unaltered.
For good Horses a brisk demand ; inferior eons heavy of
disposal.
DODBROOKE MONTHLY MARKET, Nov. 18.-The
supply of Bullocks was small, whilst that of Sheep was great
and good ; the demand was about an average_, and the for
mer was nearly all sold at prices fully as high as heretofore,
whilst the latter moved off slowly at receding prices, and
one-third were driven out unsold. Best Bullocks 545. to
58e.; contract, or second quality, 50s. to 545. ; gracing Oxen
and Cows, 40s. to 455. ; rough Steers, 355. to 401. ; Cows
