CATTLE, dre..
SMITHFIELD, Two o'Clock.—Our supply of fresh
home grazed Beasts is small, but quite sufficient for the
demand is made up from various mural. An improved
trade in the dead markets since Monday has enabled the
butchers to effect a tolerable clearance, thus prices to-day
continue quite as good for the best qualities, which being
scarce meet a very ready sale ; but in middling descriptions
trade is slow at rathrr less money. We have 431 from Hol-
land and Germany, in the general run of which we noticed
a decided improvement in quality; there are 30 from Spain,
from Ireland 40,Seotland 60, about 330 Li neolns aad Leicester.,
170 from the neighbourhood of London, and 110 Mikh Cows.
The number of Sheep continues to be smaller, and a large
proportion of this scanty supply consists of very inferior qua-
lity ; from Holland and Germany there being 1,680 on offer
to-day, but several of these are not disposed of. The whole
of our own country Sheep ate readily sold at fully late
prices. Best Downs more freely make 51 . 4d. than on Mon-
day last, and the bait Long Wools something over ss. The
trade has improved kr Calves, the best qualities easily make
4e. Bd., and very *eke Mel rather over that price. Pigs
are not quite so pleedfid, and the weather being good, trade
is brisk, at a W.b mire smeney.

CHELMSFORD FAlTt.—Testerday this fair, which IS
one of the principal in the county of Eases, was held. The
stock offered was of first-rate description, and the fair
brought together a large number of graziers and cattle
dealers. Among good store Bullocks the-business was steady
at remunerating prices. Good steers made 12/. and 141. a
head ; mileh cows fetched 151. and 161. each ; and well-
bred polled Suffolks (with a small calf) made 18 to 20
guineas. There was a large number of Welsh beasts and
Scotch runts brought up from the marshes in capital condi-
tion, and beasts generally which have been turned on the
, marsh lands for grazing have done exceedingly well this
season. Welsh beasts (fat) made 122., and runtsl4/. a head.
In the sheep pens business was lively, notwithstanding the
high prices asked. Three-year old wethere made 48s. •
head, and sound young ewes fetched from 295. up to 38s. a
head. In the horse fair well made Suffolk cart-homes
fetched from 28 to 3,5 guineas each, and well-bred cart colts
made 15 and 18 guineas each.
LEEDS, Nov. 11.—A large show of BM* and
2,600 Sheep to-day. Not many uyers attending, a greater
part of the stock remained unsold. Beef, 6s. to 6e. 6d. per
stone ; Mutton, 61d. per lb.
- -

SALFORD, Nov. 11.—We continue to have large
supplies of stock, and the quality this week very superior.
The supply rather exceeding the demand made the trade
dull, but the decline not quotable. All good things sold up.

NEWBURY, Nov. 12.—There was a fair show of
Beasts and Sheep offered this day, but butchers seemed un-
willing to buy, unless at a reduction, which was at length
submitted to. Fat Beast telling at 59. per head less ; and
Sheep, 3s. do. Lean stock sold as last week. Hogs were
very numerous, and what sold (which were but few), were
at last week's terms. Fat Hogs are daily being brought in
by the farmers and country feeders, for which Pa. to 103. Gd.
per score is given ; the lesser price for such as are hut half-
fatted, many of the like b. ing wiw killed through the dear-
ness of meal.

EDINBURGH ALL HALLOW F.tin.-This annual
market commenced with the sale of Cattle, in • field close by
the banks of the Union Canal, on the farm of Gorgie Mains.
The amount of stock exhibited numbered no fewer than
7,443, being about 2,000 head above the number shown last
year. The stock was principally from the West Highlands,
Fifeshire, Angusahire, and Aberdeenshire-the West High-
landers haviu/contributedthe preponderating number. Very
few North Highland cattle were on the ground ; but the
Irish Cattle having found their way over here for some time
past. contributed pretty largely, and made up the deficiency
of the small North Highlanders. A considerable number of
buyers were on the ground, and, as usual, the south of
Scotland, north of England, and west of Scotland, con-
tributed largely to the number. A few sales were effected
at an early hour, and continued to move slowly on until
early in the forenoon, at within a shade of thaprices obtained
at last Doune and Falkirk markets, when the market came
suddenly almost to a standstill ; after which a few straggling
sales here and there were only observable, there evidently
being a keen contention, as the market continued in this lan-
guid state during the remainder of the day ; and the sales
that were effected under these circumstances were made at a
reduction on 71. Beasts of 5 per cent. ; upon 10/. Beasts,
about 74 per cent. •, and upon higher priced animals, about
10 per cent. under the prices of the last Doune and
Falkirk markets. The heavier part of the stock
shown here was in the hands of dealers, and they having
I bought them high at the recent markets, was the cause of
1 the great stand-out for the high prices to-day. There was
no dieter:orey observable in any of the various stocks, and
they were in ,excellent condition. The show of good fat
was not extensive (this market being principally confined to
the sale of wintering cattle), although the show of this
description was considered an average one, and the best fat
may he quoted at from 7s. 9d. to Bs. per Dutch stone. The
holders of stock appeared to have been very unanimous in
their demand for prices ; for, at the close of the market, a
great bulk of the stotk was driven into the neighbour-
ing parks, being determined to try the result of next
day. The following are a few of the lots that exchanged
owners :-A lot of 60 three-year old Morayshire Cattle were
sold to Mr. Archibald at W. Ba. A lot of 80 very superior
three-year-old West Highlanders were sold by • dealer from
Argylshire to a Border company at 101. 10s. 23 West High-
land Cows, three and four-year-old., going to Berwickshire,
were sold at 71 75. 33 Anguanhire Queys, three-year-olds,
brought 9/. 15n., going to East Lothian. The same gentle-
man bought a lot of three-year-old West Highland Bullocks
at 91. Mr. Gordon sold to Mr. Wool of Yorkshire 20 \Vest
Highland Bullocks, three-year-olds at
.91. Mr. Dickenson,
Merton, purchased for Lord Polwarth, going to Tweeside, a
lot of West Highland Bullocks, two and two-and-a-half-
year-olds, at 71. 75., and the acme gentleman also purchased
for his lordship a lot of one-year-olds, of the same kind,
at 71. This latter lot were very superior animals at their
age. Sold by Carmichael and Robertson, Perthshire, a lot
of sixteen six-quarter-old Stots, West Highland breed ;
bought by Mr. Dickenson, Merton, St. Boswell, at 7/. 15s.
Another lot of twenty, bought by Mr. James Anderson,
Edgeots, Roxburghshsre, for W. 0. Rutherford, Esq., of
Edgeota, at 61. 164. A third lot of sixteen, bought by Mr.
Chisholm, near Hawick, at U. 15a. The best of these lots
were reared by J. S. Menzies, Esq., of Chesthill. A lot of
three-year-old West Highlanders were purchased by a Rox-
burghthire gentleman for grazing, at 61. A lot of six-quarter
and two-year-old West Highlanders, going to the south,
brought 41. a bead. Mr. Wighton sold alot of forty three-
, year-old polled Angusabire Cattle, at 10/. A lot of twenty-
-1 two Fife Cattle, two-year olds, were sold by Mr. Lilburn
to Mr. Park, at 101. A lot of six-quarter short-horned
Bullocks were sold at 81. 2s. 6d. Mr. Hardie, Primrose,
sold the following lots of West Highland Cattle :-A very
superior lot of two-year-olds, at 141 ; another lot, rather
inferior, at 131., another at 124, all good animals, and
in excellent codition ; also • lot of two-year-oln Fife
horned cattle at 91. ; and another lot of two-year-old West
Highlanders, going to Roxburgh, at 71. 7a. A lot of 20
country nolt, two-year-olds, were bought by Mr. Johnston,
Portobello, at 71. Messrs. Martin and Mather sold lots of
crosses at from 111. to 121. ; a lot of Fife Qneys were also
sold by them at 71. 51. ; also a lot of West Highland stots
at 61 155., and a lot of three-year old Galloway' at 101.
Mr. Yule, fiesher, Paisle, bought a very superior lot,
supposed to be the beat in the market, at 231. a-head.
Irish Cattle.-A lot of one-year olds, from the county
Roscommon, were sold at 61. 10s., and another lot of the
same kind brought 51. 2a. 6d. ; and various other lots of
this description of stock fetched from 51. to 71. a-head.
Country Cows.-A very considerable show of this kind
appeared on the ground, and there appeared to be a fair
demand, although not nearly equal to the supply. A pair
of excellent milkers were bought by a person in the neigh-
bourhood of Mid Calder, at 281. ; another pair at 251. 101-,
going near Dalkeith ; and another pair, going to the neigh-
bourhood of Haddington, at 201. Several other sales were
effected, at prices varying from 81. to 121. A few lots of
Lambs were also sold on the ground. Mr. Smart, Middle
Market, Edinburgh, sold a lot of grey-faced Lambs, at 15a.;
also a lot of black-faced wedder Lambs, at 135.
EDINBURGH, Nov. 11.-We had a large supply of
Sher p this morning. The number shown in the blights was
3,146, or 413 more than on last Wednesday. The supple
being greater than the demand sales were very dull ; and
although good Sheep maintained about last week's prices,
secondary sorts, compared with last market, fell from Is. to
25., and in some cases 3s. per head. Top price of best Mutton,
9d. per lb.; current, 5d.; inferior, 34d. to 4d. A consider-
able number were left unsold.
