KIRRIEMUIR CROFT MARKET was well supplied
with cattle ; and there being a good many buyer., dealing
was brisk in the morning, at prices about five per cent.
above last Forfar market ; in the afternoon, prices tell fully
as much ; and sundry lots left the stance unsold. The best
two-year-old stota brought 131. to 19/. ; and middling sizes,
101. to 12/. Year-old stots of the btst sorts commanded Ni.
to 10/. Qucys were not so high as stole. A good deal of
btudness was dono in cattle, at from 6/. to 6/. ; and those
were a better market than the high-priced. Fat was from
75. 6d. to Bs. per stone ; and milch cows were very dear.
The show of horses was about an average. Good stuigs
were scarce. Good draught animals for cart or plough cold
at prices varying from 30/. to 40/. Old horses sold well for
railway purposes. Gig and saddle horses were not select—
best, 3,51. down to 20!. There were no foals. One-year-
olds, 121. to 181.; and two-year-olds, 20/. to 30/., according
to quality. Sellers of cattle and horses appeared well
pleased with prices ; and graziers were far better paid than
they recently expected.
NORWICH, OCT. 24.—The show of Scots and short-
horns at our market was very good, although the morning
was very unfavourable; an immense deal of business was
truisaettil, and St. Faith's fair prices well supported, allow-
ing for condition and quality. The number of fat beasts was
not worth notice. But few Sheep or Lambs penned, and a
clearance made at good prices, for all kinds. In store Pigs
not much business done. Fat pork Os. 6d. to 7s. per stone.
