CATTLE.

DERBY, SEPT. S.-lit; hada very scanty show of
fat cattle this morning, and most of them were of the mid-
dling sort. The best quality was much sought after, and
fetched high prices. The sheep pens wire not more than
half filled, and an adyance in the price was obtained. Fat
Pigs were plentiful. Beef, 51d. to 6d. ; mutton, 6d. to 6 id. ;
Perk, Bs. 6d. to 9a. per score. Rough Fat 3s. per stone of
141 b.

WAKUIELD, SEPT. 9.—There were 609 Beasts,
6,000 Sheep, and a few Lambs in the market. Business
was dull, and a great part of the stock remained unsold.
Bed, Gs. to 6s. 6d. per stone; Mutton, 51 to 61d. ; Lamb,
6;d. per lb. _

NEWCASTLE, SEPT. B.—At market this morning
there was a large show of beasts, amongst which were 84
oxen from Harnburgh which were in good condition. Ge-
nerally speaking, the supply was of middling quail y ; an
excellent supply of sheep, and the same of Lint*. In
the beast /market the better sone were in good request, and
a w lots were bought fbr the southern imakets, but the
numbers being large, the middling sorts were a slow sale,
and prices rather down. A brisk demand both ter sheep
and lamb; the south dealers bought pretty frocly, and
prices a shade better. Prices:—Beats, small Heifers. Gs. Gd.
to 6s. Bd. ; large Stem-s, 60. to Gs. 3d. • middling, hs. 9d. per
sine of 14Ibs. Sheep of good quality a shilling a-head
below Gld. ; middling, Gd. ; inferior. ss. to bid. Lambs, a
shilling a-head above 63. per lb., sinking offal.
EDINBURGH, SEPT. 9. The sheep and lamb
market this morning was well supplied ; the demand being
good, sales went on briskly, at a shade above last week's
market: beat aged sheep, Gd ; inferior, 4.1,1 ; mid-
dling quality, 6d. to 61d. per lb., sinking Mikis. and all
sold. Lambs of good quality in demand, and sold
frcel7 at full prices ; a good demand for inferior and
middling lambs for foggage, which caused a goad clearance.
The supply of fat cattle was limited; the demand exceeded
the supply, consequently sales were readily effected, at an
advance of 3d. a stone over last week : top price reached
nearly Bs.; inferior from 6.5. 6d. to Gs. ; middling quality,
Gs. 6& to 7s. a Dutch stone, sinking offals. A few inferior
animals were left over unsold. _

FALKIRK SEPTEMBER TRYST, SEPT. 7. -- The
second of these great markets commenced to-day at Sten-
house-Muir. Being solely devoted to sheep stock, consider-
able anxiety prevailed as to whether it might be an singe
show. The fields around the Tryst, though considerably
crowded, evinced a paucity of the great iuflux exhibited on
some former years; and we may safely state the appear-
ance of the flocks as being fully a third less than this time
twelvemonths. They were in general in good condition.
'I he average of blackfaced may be stated at from 225. to
2.55. 6d. Whitefaced wedders were in prime condition, the
top price of which was 34*. Whitefaced ewes were scarce,
and brought good prices. Sales continued dull through the
afternoon, and it was Into before the market was full
cleared. On the whole, prices are nearly about a par with
last September Tryst.
SEPTEMBER B.—This day's market commenced with
the sale of black cattle. Tho stock was not above half the
usual number at a September market. A Malay
buyers were on the ground; and, with the sCdt supply,
caused a very rapid sale. The medium quality ap-
peared to be particularly looked after, and we were
credibly informed that very few of this kind were
to be had at 1 o'clock. The distemper raging to such
an extent among the cattle, is assigned as the cause of the
short supply. Fat was rather a meagre show, and sold fully
higher than the prices which have been obtained in YAM-
burgh and Glasgow markets for some w2eks past, having
brought fully Mc the Dutch stone. There was a very con-
sideraSle show of six quarter old stirks. Heifers and atots
arc fully 7 per cent. higher than at the corresponding mar-
ket of last year. It may lie generally remarked, that beasts
from 61. to 6/. were about 10s. higher than last market, and
higher priced animals in proportion—fat excepted.
