POTATOES.

- ---
SOUTHWARK, WATERSIDE, Nov. 16.—The supply
to this market is still moderate, yet the demand is very
limited ; bat it is generally believed that the Potatoes from
the midland districts, which have liberally supplied the town
market of late, are nearly exhausted. In that case, there is
but little doubt that our prices will improve shortly. The
prices are ranging es follows :—York, reds, 140 s. to 160 s. ;
Regent., 120 s. to 160.. ; Shaws, 110 s. to 120. Lincolnshire,
Regents, 120 s. to 140 s. ; Shaws, 120 e. ; Kidneys, FX/s.
Kent and Essex, Regents, 140 s. to 170 s. ; Shays, 120 e. ;
Kidneys, 140 s. French, 110 s. to 140..

CATTLE, &e.
SNIT MELD, Two o'Clock.—We have again a large
supply of Beasts, but there is no improvement in the general
quality, consequently the choicest descriptions arc sold quite
as dear, indeed our top quotations are more freely given.
Middling qualities meet with a heavy sale, but owing to the
favourable weather and a considerable demand everything is
likely to be disposed of at very little, if any, reduction. We
have from Holland, Germany, and Sweden 730, from Scot-
land 30, Ireland 300, about 1,800 Lincoln, and Leicester',
and 1,200 Iron various parts of the country. There is sit
increase of about 3,000 sn the supply of Sheep as compared
with last Monday's, but the demand having increased in a
still larger proportion. Our trade amongst the hest qualities is
brisk; we cannot quote higher prices, indeed towards the dose
of the market trade is rather flagging for the second rate
descriptions. We have abeut 3,000 from Holland and Ger-
many. We have but few Calves on offer, and prices have
advanced ; a choice one makes very nearly Ss., but we cannot
quote more than 4s. 101. fur the average price of best quali-
ties. The trade for Pigs is brisk, the weather being favour-
able, but we make no higher primes.

ANDOVER, Nov. 14.—Fat Pip have been brought
into Andover during the week in great number, causing such
to be sold at from 9s. to lOs. per score, the bacon curers,
selling the spare ribs, griskins, &c., at 6d. per lb.

KINGSTON FAIR (SECOND DAY), NOV. 14.—About
two-thirds of the Beasts brought here for sale were disposed
of yesterday at very high prices. Towards noon there was an
evident slacknesi, buyers holding off, and dealers refusing to
abate the prices asked in the early part of the day, conse•
quently from two to three thousand cattle were driven this
morning into;the field. They c insisted of 300 Devons, 100
short horns, 50 Herefords,loo mirth country, 700 from South
\Vales, and 500 from North Wales, 200 Cows and Calf, and
50 with Calves by their side. The sales effected were at a
decline of ss. per head on yesterday's prices; some of the
dealers refused to submit to any reduction, which caused
droves to stand over for Barnet fair. Mr. Evans Jones, from
Holliwell, Flintahire, sold 150 North Wales Beasts, averaging
10 guineas each. Mr. Evans sold 70 North Wales, at from
91. to 101. each. The averag prices of Devon Oxen were
from 121. to 151. each. The Se‘tch were all sold yesterday,
as were most of the Leicester and Lincoln. Heifers went
off also at great prices, as did Cows in Calf, making from 141.
up to 20 guineas. Cows with a Calf by their aide, from 161.
to 251. each. Nearly all the Bulls (young) were sold yes-
terday, there not being nn ro than 20 offered to day. His
Royal Highness Prince Mb rt had a fine lot of Scotch ()tenet
the fair from his Flemish Tana, which sold at very high prices.
The sheep were all disposed of by four o'clock yesterday,
at the prices made at other fairs during the week. There
were a considerable quantity of cart and inferior saddle
Hones for sale to-day, aa also many Welsh and other Ponies ;
the trade for such was very dull, all the best being culled out
yomerday. The prices of cart Colts, from two to three years
old, were from 401. to 50/. each ; from three to six years also
very high.

WINCHESTER, Nov. 14.—There were a few Cows
offered for iale also some lots id- Welsh and Scotch beasts,
which remained unsold from Farnham Fair of the day
previous. The Cows sohi well, but the lean Oxen remained
unsold, or at least the greater part of them. Store Pigs
were plentiful, and seemed to sell rather brivlcer. Fat Hogs
are very plentiful, and selling at from 9s. 61. to l le. per
score.
- - -

ANTRIM.-There were very few Horses exhibited,
but the black cattle were larger than has been exhibited for
many years. A great many purchases were made both for
the English and home markets. The best quality of prime
Beef sold briskly at prices varying from 45e. to 455. 6d. per
cwt. ; inferior at 30s. to 344. 6d. Sheep, 50. to Bd. per lb.
Pigs were scarce, and obtained high prices.
CAVAN.-The supply of Cattle was not so great as
in former year=, and young stock did not command such
prices as at our lost fair. Two-year-old Bullocks and
lieifer, were in good demand fur the English market, and
springers sold well. The price of Beef was high, fkom 40..
to 50s. per cwt Sheep were few in number, and of a bad
description. Pigs singed about 424. per cwt., and not half
so numerous as in former years ; very fewof them fat ; young
Pigs brought low prices. There was a tolerable show of
Horse., but none of the high-priced description ; second class
Horses sold on reasonable terms.
ENNISKILLEN.-This fair was one of the best we
have had lately. Mach, good beef, prime hogs, and good
and useful horses, all brought high prices. Valuable Sheep,
whether for killing or breeding, sold at fair rates. Store
cattle, store hogs, inferior horses, and late springers were low
and unsought.
MULLINCAR FAIR.-Beef was in good demand, and
brought freely from 40s. to 0.5.. per cwt. Mutton was less
in demand than at late fairs, and rather less in price ; it may
be quoted at id. to 6d. per lb. Bullocks, of every descrip-
tion, were in extraordinary demand, and sold early. Three-
' years-old brought from 121. to 151. each; two-years-old, from
H
8/. to 101. ; yearlings, from 41. to 61. each. Store egira
were not in good demand, end brought leas money. Three-
years-old sold at from 111. to 131. ; two-years-old, from 71. to
101. ; yearlings, from 5/. to 71.; weaning Calves, as usual,
brought comparatively more money than any stock, and
varied in price, according to quality, from 21. 10e. to 51. A.
lot of English Calves brought on an avenge about 71. each.
Sheep farmers were rather complaining, u the prices had a
fai,ing tendency, particularly in the young stock ; two-years-
old sold at from 40s. to 50s. ; Hoggets, from 30s. to 38e. ;
Lambs, 20e. to 28s. Pigs were very low, pork being about
6a. per cwt, under the late fairs. Stores were also very cheap,
and young ones were for any money that could be obtained
for them. Horses, for which this fair is far-famed, were in
great variety, and at prices varying from 2001. downwards.
First rate animals brought their price, u they will at all
times commend themselves, and command a sale ; but on
the whole we believe they brought less money than usual.
Middling class hunters were very low, and might be quoted
IS per cent. ender last year's prices : good mach and post
Horses were in excellent demand. and brought high prices
compared to other descriptions. There were extensive
purchases made for the a:my at prices varying from 181.
to 251.
TENIPLEIIOIfiE.-This fair was largely supplied,
and extensive purchases were made, particularly by.provision
contractors here ; cattle are much depreciated within some
few months, holders being anxious to dispose of them for
many obvious reasons. Sheep and pigs, in good condition,
maintain high rates.
CUPAR MARTINMAS MARKET.-The cattle market
exhibited a poor show of cattle, and there were few fat.
Sales were dull, but what fat there was met a good demand.
There was a poor supply of milk cows. Good fat beasts
were selling at from 7.. to Bs. per Dutch stone. In the
horse market there was hale done ; there were few first-rate
beasts, but a fair supply_of second-rate.
HAWICK FAIR.-There was a pretty large show of
cattle, including several lots of English bred Starks. The
sellers having held the stock at high rates, prevented sales in
the early part of the day, except for the best description of
Beasts, which were disposed of at capital prices. The great
part stood long, and though a good deal of business was ulti-
mately done, still it was a flat selling market, and a consider-
able number, especially of the English cattle, went away
unsold. There were several lots of Kyloes sold, and those in
good order sold readily, but such as were not in condition
did not meet such demand. Prices ran thus: The best de-
scription of shorthorned Stirks or cattle rising two years old,
brought from 81. to 101.; inferior, 61. to 71. 10s. One lot of
superior Stirks, the best, fetched 131., and another lot 121.
Two-year old Cattle sold at 12/. 7s. to 141. Mach Cows, 111.
to 151., and inferior 61. 10s. to 104, while some superior ani-
mals brought 161. to 201. Kyloes, 61. 15s. to 71. 12a. 6d. ;
fat, 6s. 6d. to is. per stone.
