Flour were imported during the week from the United
States. Having far the present a cessation of the Irish de-
maul, and influenced by the accounts from the southern
markets, our own buyers continue to remain on the re
verve, which has caused a very restricted business in
every article of the trade since the date of our last &deices.

CATTLE, &e.—SMITHFIELD, Two o'Clock.—We
have bad alarge supply of Beasts, and, in consequence, a
reduction in price, except, perhaps, in a few choice Scots,
which realised about the same as on Monday last. There
are 262 from Holland. nearly 400 from Scotland, about 160
Mitch Cows, and the remainder from various parts of the
country and the neighbourhood of London, including se-
veral that remained unsold on Monday. The number of
Sheep is small, and the best qualities meet with a ready sale,
at a little over Monday's quotation.; but there is no advance
in inferior descriptions. We had a few shorn Sheep on
offer ; bat the weather is yet too cold for these ; they make
from 3s. 10ch to 4.. 2d. There were also shown some Lambs
of excellent quality. It is, however, rather too early for
them, and they were with difficulty disposed of. We have
180 Sheep from Holland. There is an advance of fully 2d.
per 8 Hs. on the best Calves. Pigs are selling rather better.

DUMFRIES CANDLEMAS HORSE FAIR, &C.-High as
horses were at the last Candlemas Fair, they have been
higher this, DOM say 74, and others 10 per cent. higher. At
Castle-Douglas on Monday the show of horses was limited.
First-class horses sold from 401. to 001. ; second, 301. to 401.;
third, 201. to 301. Business commenced in Dumfries on
Tuesday, and was continued on Wednesday. Young Colts
and Mares, rising from two to three yeats, were in fair de-
mand at excellent prices, say from 301. to 401. Ponies very
scarce ; but • few were sold at prices so various that we
cannot name them. Roadsters and harness horses of the
right sort, high-priced; and the more so on account of their
inconsiderable numbers. Mr. Cumming, dealer, from Glas-
gow, who had been very active in the surrounding districts,
had purchseed fully 100 head, estimated, one with another,
at 60/. each, or upwards of 5,0001. in all. Part of these he
re-sold, at fair profits, to railway contractors, farmers, and
general customers.
