KIRKCALDY, Serr. 6.—We have had a week of variable
weather—it rained heavily on Wednesday and Thursday.
Only a few patches of barley have been cut. If we are
favoured with fine weather next week, many of our farmers
will cut barley. The wheat and oat harvest will be about
two week' later. At our country markets, this week, we bad
little grain of any kind offering, and seemingly as little de-
mand. Wheat may be written 2a. per qr., and oats la. per qr.

WATI3I7OIID, Sm. 6.—We have bad another week of fine
weather, and harvest work proceeds rapidly. Should no
unfavourable change occur nearly all the grain in this neigh-

New York. There has been only a retail trade pawing in
all articles, and late prime are not quite supported. Foreign

barrel'; flour, 116 sacks ; oatmeal, 40 sacks.

CATTLE.—Caumme, SEPT. 6,—The show of cattle to-
day from our own local districts comprised only three much
cows and a few elvers. One small lot of Highlanders were
on offer, but not likely to sell. Irish cattle were well re.
presented, both se regards number and quality, but business
was very dull. Prices asked in this class ranged from 41. to
10/., 131. being asked for one prime lot of eleven. Mitch
cows were offering at 13!. to 141. The show of lambs
was again large, it being considerably over that of
last week. Twenty-seven lots on offer, comprising half-
brads, Cheviota, and crosses. Higher prices were asked for all
clamed, as the animals are now improving every day, but no
sales were effected in the early part of the day ;17s. 3d. was
asked for one prime lot of crones numbering 200, and
15s. 6d. for another lot. Half.breds from 14s. to 18e. Our
market was well stocked with pigs, there being a conside-
rable increase in numbers as compared with late markets.
Respecting quality the show was a mixed one, but the ma-
Erity of the animals were decidedly poor, and sold slowly.
Even the better animals did not sell quickly, the market
being outstoeked, and buyers mane. Prices were a shade
lower, ranging frees 9a. 6d. to 235., the average being about
14s.
