APPLESHAW FAIR, Nov. 4.-This day the Somer-
set and Dorset Sheep left unsold, together with others fresh
brought, including Wiltshire and Hampshire Downs, are
penned for sale. There were more than at first expected.
The slackness of yesterday's sales cattail more to be left
unsold than was anticipated on Monday, It was thought
there were not 50,000 sheep penaed altogether, a very small
number considered for this fair. By daylight this morning,
there were many on the fair field, who tried to induce the
sellers to lower the prices asked, but such was unavailing ;
therefore the terms must be quoted full 35., and in many
cases, 4s. per head dearer than similar qualities made at the
last fairs held here and at Weyhitl. The prices were as
follows :-Somerset Ewes, with one, and some couplets, by
their side, made from 553. to 60e. ; ditto down latnbing, 50s.
to 535. each ; Dorset ditto, 50s. to 545.: Ditto Ewes, to lamb
about Christmas, 40s. to 505.; South Down Ewes, ditto
ditto, 40s. to 524.: Inferior ditto ditto, 335. to 40s. There were
some pens of fine South Down and half-bred Lambe, which
fetched from 40s. up to 48s. each ; middling ditto, from 28s.
up to 35.. ditto ; inferior ditto, 21s. up to 2Gs. ditto. The
1 fat Mock did not sell so briskly, though the quantity was
smaller than usual, yet there was a reduction of at least 2a.
per head. One pea of six-tooth fat 'Wethers, half-bred,
made 545. each; two pens of four-tooth fat Wethers, half-
bred, 50s. each ; two pens of two-tooth fat Wethers, half-
bred, 455. each. Fat Ewes, traperior South Downs, ranged
between 40s. and 48s. each, weighing from 251 b. to 281 b. per
quarter. A great number -off good lean Devoe, Hereford,
and other Beasts were here for sale to-day, exceeding in
quantity the maul average. 'The prices aakedat first could
not be obbeined, but after aveasonable reduction many were'
quickly purchased, keep being eu abundant The reduction
under the prices given at other him within the last week was
not less Than ss. per head for the beet, and as. per head for
inferior Oxen, Steers, Heifers, and Cows. The prices for
best Oxen {lean), were 'hem 121. up to 1711. each; second

greater part were sold before the teeming. The Pig fair is

chased to-day at each priers as merit be a ee.rious loos to-the
sellers. Some fat enough fur the London market did sot
fetch, on an average, morethan 4d. to 41d. per lb.
