MaitLnottoraff, Nov. 23.- -The number of Sheep
offered for sale was estimated at 30,000, being rather les. than
last year. They principally crosisted of Southdown breed,
and chiefly sold. at prices la. to 2s. above thosa obtained at
Andover fair. There was ono lot of prime ewes in lamb
which sold at 60s. each, pure Southdowns ; and a pen of
Wilts do., which made 465. each. Many other do's from
40s. to 465. each. Some very tine Lambs made from 40s. to
465. each. Good lots, not called, toads from 38e. to 40s.
The horn-ewes sold at great prices, one pen making 58s.
each. There were a few pens of fat wethers and ewes, of 4
and 2 tooth, which were sold at hs. to 61. 4d. per stone of
Blbs. The general opinion was, that there is not so great a
scarcity of sheep in this county as has been represented.-
There wait a fair supply of lean beasts and cows, with a large
number of young bulls; the beets were principally of the
cross Devon' and Herefords, short horns, &c. The bulls
sold at prices between 121. and 161. each, chiefly young; the
cows were of fine size and quality, some making prices
extraordinarily high, as much as from 18 to 22 guineas
having been given for the first-rate. The steers sold at from
10/. up to 161. each ; North and South Wales cattle at from
71. 10s. up to 10 guineas each. Not many good beast.,, bulls
or cows, remained unsold. Pigs were plentiful, and sold at
ruinous prices ; large store hogs not fetching more than 4d.
per lb.; fat bacon hogs, at from 9s. to 9s. Gd. per score
pounds; small porkers at 10s. to 101. Gd. do.
SALISBURY, Nov. 24.-This day there were some
Beasts, Sheep, &c., but not to the extent of last market. Of
fat Beasts and Cows, the best made the prices of last
Tuesday; the secondary qualities were a trifle lower-sae
2d. per stone of 81bs. Sheep went off briskly at the full
prices hitherto obtained, best making from 4s. lfd. to ss. 4d.
per stone ; second do., at from 4s. to 4. 4d. Lean stock was
very slow of sale. Pigs were plentiful ; lean Hogs and Pigs
still very dull, and but few purchasers. Fat Batson Hogs at
from 9s. t 095.61 per score; small well-fed Porkers made 10s.
GLASGOW, Nov. 23.-There was a very large sup-
ply of cattle at market this morning, an unusually large pro-
portion of Irish Beasts being brought forward, but the ma-
jority were only of indifferent quality, and no alteration can
be noted upon the prices of last week, viz.: Best Beef,
10e. 4d. per stone of 221 lbs., sinking the offal ; second
quality, 9s. Bd. ; Cow and ordinary, 9s. The supply of Sheep
was moo large, and prices generally a shade lower. Best
blackfaced `'ethers may be quoted at from 18s. to 305.;
Ewes from 12s. to 225. There were a few Cheviots in the
market, and for one good lot 3.54. was asked. A considerable
number of both cattle and Sheep remained unsold.
