COLLOMPTON Fszg.—The show of stock was by no 03e401
so large 8e usual, the better part of which soon found cus-
tomers. The Sheep, all that were worthy of notice, were
soon purchased, at from 6d. to 61d. per lb. Beef, 6 id. to 7d.
Cows and Calves, from 101. to 171.
GRIAT ECCLUITON FAIL—The show of all kinds of
cattle was very poor indeed. Calvert were bad to dispose of
at the late lowering prices. Drapes of good quality were well
sold, ►ut inferior animals were not in good demand. The
show of young alters was a very indifferent one; but buyers
being numerous, they were mostly disposed of at about 11.
per head less than last year. Little fat shown, and demand
brisk, at rather higher prices. Many lots of various kinds
of Sheep offered, but little or no bu,itiess done in them. In
consequence of the distemper being pretty general, many
farmers are afraid of bringing their cattle to fairs for fear of
infection, which will account for the stocks at late fairs being
so limited in extent.

Locos, Nov. B.—The annual winter fair for Cattle and
Hones commenced this morning. The show of Horses was
extremely poor, both so to number and quality, very few
good animals being offered. The better sort realised good
prices on changing owners; hut the bulk of those that were
sold went at a low figure, though frequently for quite so
much so they were worth. The show of e►ule was tar from
good, moat of the animals offered being =OM Beasts, and
very few worthy the attention of the butcher or grazier.
Prices ruled rather low.

Lovoatno►. FAIL—The show of calvers wa• mall, de
mend bad, and prices rather on the wane. The few good
drapes offering were soon brought up, but inferior animals
were a drug. The number of young cattle was much below an
average in all respects. The attet.dence of buyers was good,
and the stock for the most part changed bands at low prices.
Next to no fat shown, but for what was offered the demand
was brisk.

NORWICH, Nov. 6.—Oar market exhibited a very large
show of Scout and short-horns; there being a good attend-
ance of buyers, an immense deal of business was transacted ;
for Scots, big and fresh, 4s. 6d. to 65.; middling, 3s. 61. to
4s. pvr stone of 14Ibs. when fat; at these prices few remained
unsold.—Fat Beasts scarce at 81. 3d. to 89. 6d. per stone, and
the supply not equal to the demand. The pens were badly
filled ; the best Lambs and keeping Sheep found buyers ;
middling a dull sale. Fat Sheep, It,. 6d. to 9s. per stone.
Ewes of ail ages a dull sale. Good store Pigs from 18s. to
245. per head. Fst Pork, Ts. to 7s. 3d. per stone.

RUMBEY FAIR, Nov. B.—Of Sheep about the usual quan-
tity penned, but all so inferior that few found porches, ro.
Ewes, 24*. to 30s. each. Lambe, 16s. to 225. Wethers, 30s.
to 3,55. ; more than half were driven away unsold. More
than the usual quantity of lean Cattle • the best Bold uwell
as at other fairs. Oood Cows and Heifers went off also as
well as could be expected. Cows in-calf, in good condition,
made from 121. to 141.; some poor, 81. to 101. Foreign
Beasts (of which there were a good number) sold at from
31. to 51. each. For Horses trade was exceedingly dull, none
not but the best cart and riding Horses selling at good
prices. Some good hunting and coacher' were for sale, for
which purchssers offered lees money, though for some up to
601. each was oirered. Oood draft Horses at 301. to 401.
each; useful, 251. to 301. A great many poor animals—
Cobs, Ponies, tic., were taken away unsold. For Pigs the
the market was vrry dull, many not selling, though offered
at less by from 2s. to 3i. per head.

SOMERTON, Nov. 8 —At this day's market there was an
abundant supply of Sheep of the best description, and among
the lota some front abroad. At the first of the market the
purchases of farmers were but slow, the prices of the sellers
being very high figures; business continued in this state till
towards the dose, when several sales were effected for Lon.
don markets, at a reduction, in many instances, of 2d. per
stone. Raery precaution has been adopted for the preven-
tion of the iiA,s affected Sheep at this market.

SWAI7IIAM FAIR.—The show of Scots was small, but of
ahort•horns large and good; the quality and condition of a
great Er any of the Beats were excellent, and a large number
was sold ; the best in condition making 6s. per at. ; fresh,
4s. &I. to se. ; middling, 31. 6d. to 4s. psr st. of 141b5., when
fat. The buyers were anxious to purchaw all the best
Beasts. Fat Desists, few in number, making from Bs. to
9s. 6d. per at. The number of Sheep and Lambs penned
was small ; the best found buyers at high griefs • keeping
Sheep, 404. to 451. ; best Lambs, 335. to 355. ; middling, 225.
to 24.. per head, with a good clearence. The show of Horses
was very poor, scarcely a good one being offered for sale.
