WortcEsTEL—Our fair exhibited a capital supply
of stock—murh better than had been anticipated, seeing
that this fair has only been established four years—and there
was a numerous attendance of buyers. Beef averated 6d.,
and readily sold ; Cows and Calves and Barrens were much
sought after, and those of good quality were soon disposed of
at good prices. The show of Sheep was tolerably good for an
October fair; stores at about the terms of our last sir. Fat
Sheep from 61tL to 7d. Of Pigs there was a good show;
store Pigs on the decline, in consequence of the expense of
keeping ; fat Pigs fetched 6.1 d. A 'very good show of Cart-
Horses, and plenty of customers at good prices.
