SKINS.

BASINGSTOKE, Nov. 25.—The best South Downs
made from 3e. 9d. to 41. per skin ; and half-bred, Cottswold,
or Leicester from4e. to 4s. 6d. Lamb Skins out of the mar-
ket. Ox Hides are selling too low, considering the London
terms; a more fair dealing is hoped for. The tanners give
one price only for every description of Hides ; the poor thin
cow who dies of disease, and the fine fat ox Skin making
but from 21d to 3d. per lh, when in London the last-named
is worth fid. to 6d. Well may tanners be computed rich
men. We saw a butcher's bill, who sold an Ox Hide, weigh-
ing 831 b., for 21d. per pound, about half its regular value.
Calf Skins at 44d. per lb. Horse Hides, from 10s. to 12s.
each. Butcher's Fat, from 2s. 9d. to 2s. Ild. per stone of 81b.

CATTLE,
BASINGSTOKE, Nor. 23.—There was in the market
to-day a fair number of good store Hogs and l'igs ; the Hogs
made from 20s. up to 50s. ; and Pigs from 10s. up to 20s.
each; a fair demand, at something better terms. Fat Hogs
have been selling hero to the curers at from 9s. 6d. to 10s.
per score. A great supply through the week, and it is with
difficulty those terms are supported. We heard of one curer
having nearly 200 camases in salt for bacon. Porkers make
about 6d. per stone better price.

LEEDS FonTsicnT FAIR, Nov. 25.-There was a
very thin show of Beasts at our market this morning, and
though the demand was not very animated, they sold at
higher prices than last fair. Of Sheep the show was inferior,
both in rkuality and number, to shy that has been °tiered for
sale in this fair for some time. Few sales were made. To
quote prices would mislead.
NEWCASTLE, Nov. 24.-The Stones Fair being
to-morrow, there is but an indifferent supply of Beasts :on
offer this morning. The supply of Sheep, both in quantity
and quality, is better than for some week's past; also a good
show of Swine. Beasts of the primest quality
.maintain
former rates, the middling kinds are bought on easier terms.
With the exception of the best description of Wedders, all
other kinds have a downward tendency, and sales are slowly
effected. We have on offer 400 Sheep and 16 Bullocks from
the Edinburgh market. Prices: Beasts, neat cutters, 7s. ;
good Steers, 6s. Gd. ; middliug, 6e. ; Pork, ss. 6d. to 6s. 6d.
per stone of 14.1 b ; good Wedders, 7d. ; middling, 61d. ;
Ewes, Gd. per lb., sin the the offal.
HICKMANSwohni 1.-Ala.-This Horse fair was held
on Tuesday. The supply of cattle was good; but from the
unfavourable state of the weather, cattle appeared to a great
disadvantage to the seller, but, notwithstanding, a large
amount of business was done. Aged Horses fetched 18 to 20
guineas ; and well-seasoned do., adapted to farming purposes,
made 24 to 26 guineas ; and some team, comprised of three
well-matched, sound, and young Horses, were purchased for
London work at thirty-hie guineas. Five-year-old carriage
Horses made thirty-live to forty guineas ; and well-matched
pairs, broke to double harness, realised 80 to 90 guineas;
good Nags and Hacks fetched twenty guineas ; and compact-
made Cobs sold at 24 to 28 guineas. There were several
droves of Welsh forest Colts, which made from 61. to 101.
each. In the Sheep pens stock was limited in the supply.
Good fat Wethers made 48s. a head, and prime South Down
Ewes fetched 30s. to 435. a bind.
Sourn,tu., Nov. 25.-11'e had a short market to-
day, and trade ruled very dull. The best qualities of stock
being short, were disposed of at fair prices; the middling
and inferior sold very slowly, at lower rates. Beef made
from 2s to 4s. 4d.; Mutton, 4s. to ss. 2d. ; Veal, 45. to
4s. 6d. ; Pork, 3s. 4d. to 4s. Gd.. per stone of bibs., sinking
the offal.
AYE, Nov. 24.--Mileh Cows sold from 8/. to 121.
Beef sold from Bs. 6d. to 9s. 6d. per trop stone. Black-faced
Ewes, 16e. 6d. to 19s. 6d. ; Wedders, 22e. A lot of file very
fine Bullocks, brought from Streamer, were bought by Sir,
James Ciemmell, flesher, here, at about 151. each.
