there was no improvement in the description of the animals.
Goal Horses were quickly disposed of at fair prices, and o-
the whole • great amount of business was done.

BARNBTAPLE FAIR.—The famed North Devon breed
was well represented, the late season having been ver
favourable, especially from the recent dry weather and thi.
great abundance of grass, and the greater attention of late
years paid to the improvement of the breed being par-
ticularly visible. Among the best lots in the market,
ehose which claim the first notice were a lot of

of prime excellence, ebich fetched 241. a

numerous, and above eighty were sold at good recs. A,
2,000 were sold. A tittle flatness was ocea‘ion, dbe t

of the day were obliged to lower their prices to effect

I/OWNTON SHEEP FAIR, OCT. 2.—At this fair
number penned was rather above an average. Ewes, I
ever, fetched from 21s. to 315.; Lambs, 18s. to 30e. A

the early part of the day chief of the is.
were cleared, all the best Sheep having changed hand
but few giod ones driven away unsold. So great Was
demand that many dealers met the flocks coming int
fair, purchasing ere they arrived, and then re-selling
same at a profit of at least ss. par head. The dealers attend-
ing this fair awe rt that there are not more than half '
Sheep in Wilt,hirc and Dorretahire than tiara ought,
in former years used to be on the grazing-land on
downs, &c., in those counties ; the high pries having ind
