CiiitLatsterLD FAIL: This great county cattle fair was
held on Friday, and, unlike most others in that part of the
kingdom of late, there was an excellent supply of Sheep sad
Cattle of all kinds, and • far greater briskness in the trade,
its easy access by railway attracting, besides the lewd
dealers, many London butchers and others from the metro-
polis, by some of whom considerable purchases were made.
The number of Sheep offered was estimated at from 10,000
to 12,000, some of them in excellent condition, and few with
any signs of the much-talked-of disease about them. The
lowest prise for Ewes was 11. 16.., and the best fetched as
high as 2!. 2s. per head ; good Wethers sold freely, at an
advance of ls. to ls. 6d. per head upon the rates obtained
at the late fairs. Hereford and Welch Beasts, of which
there was a good supply, averaged, the former from 151. to
161., and the latter about 131. per head. Scot. were also
taken off freely at advanced rates. The improved state of
affairs arises from the feet that the farmers and grazier have
delayed aa long as possible buying in their winter stock,
from alarm at the prevalence of the disease, and are obliged
to come in as purchasers to the last fairs Of the year, as the
green crops generally are reported excellent; and, says our
informant, a real practical man, " from what I saw of the
condition of the stock at this fair I am satisfied that the
disease has greatly subsided."
EXRTER, Nov. 12.-The supply of Bullocks and Sheep
was rather large for the time of year, added to which was a
lot of fat Heifers from Ireland, which met a dull sale at the
following quotations Fat Bullocks, Os. 6.1. to 10s. 3d. per
reeve. Sheep, Gi. to 61d. per le. ; Lambs, Gd. to 61d.
Cartel, 51d. to 6d. Keeping Sheep, 271. to 30s. each. ;
Lambe, 18s. to 245. Cows and Calves, 91. to 141. Barrenen,
40.64. to 5s 6d. per score.
FAnsil.l3l FMB, Nov. 13.-This fair but poorly attended.
There were plenty of Beasts for fattening offered, but only
the best were picked out. Irish, and other inferior Olen
were not saleable at any price. Horses were plentiful, but
few eery good for driving or riding ; such sold readily at
good prices. All cart Colts and other heavy Horses, of good
symmetry, were in demand. A fair number penned, yet
prices were inclined to go down ; some of the best South
Dowes, Wethere, Ewes, and Lambe sold readily ;:inferior
remaining in the hands of those first offering them. Ewes
fetched from 30a. to 365. each ; Lambs, 225. to 325. ; We-
there, from 34a. to 42a.
KINGSTON FAIR, Nov. 13.-There were not so many
Beasts by at least two thousand as last year, yet trade was
exceedingly dull. There were some very fine Devon* ; the
best sold at from 121. to 141. per head ; moderate, at from
101. to 121.; the poorer sorts hung on hand, though offered
at from 71. to 91. ; some fine Herefords sold at 1l 1. to 131. ;
other descriptions at from 91. to 101. Fine Scott Beasts,
though rough, 71. to 10/. each.; choice Welsh, from 71. to
; middling, 6!. Irish were generally very small and poor,
many remaining unsold. Foreign Osen were in size, make,
and quality, so indifferent that but few found purchasers.
The best uncolved Cows and Heifers were soon taken by the
London dairymeo, at good prices, some very superior making
from 181. to 201. ; moderate, at 151. to 161. Pigs : Fat large
Hogs were lower by 2s. to 3.. each ; is. to 4s. 4d. the stone of
81be. being the highest given. Some delicate Porkers, 4s. 6d.
to do. 82., of which nearly all were sold. There
was about the usual quantity penned; all good Sheep,
of every description, sold readily ; the beet Downs, 355. to
40s. each ; smeller, 30,. to 325. Down Lambs, 265. to 325. ;
poor, 22e. to 245. ; half-bred Ewes, 36e. Lambe, 26e. to 3.55.;
Wethers, 401. to lies. Dorset Horns, Wethers, 40s. to 46e.;
Ewes, 365. to 38s. ; Lambs, 26.. to 30s. ; foreign Sheep, 304.
to 36.. ; small, 26e. to 28s. Fat Sheep, of best quality, were
sold at 4s. 6d. to 4s. 10d. per et.; large, 4s. 4d. ; poor, 4s. to
to 4s. 2d. ; foreign, 3+. 10,1. to lc Many poor Sheep, both
fat and leen, were unso'd. Of Horse., a rather large fair ;
some very tine large coach and hunting Horse.. which made
very great priers; some selling at from 601. to 701. each ; good
Cobs, gig Horse., and riding Nags, were sold readily at from
301. to 401. A splendid assortment of large draught Colts and
Horses, which appeared to meet with a ready sale, at large
sums; some fine 3-year-old. reached 451. to 50!. each; good,
35/. to 401 ; moderate, rather aged, but useful animals. 251.
to 301. ; some fine Cobs reached 20 guineas ; middling, 161. to
18/. Ponies, best shape and make, 121. to 161. ; common,
81. There appeared more doing lin the Horse fair than
in any other part.
LEEDS, Nov. 10.-In consequence of our annual winter
statute fair taking place this week, the supply of home-fed
Beasts and Sheep at this day's market has been limited, and
the market dull ; but, eventually, the whole were disposed of,
at the following average prices :-Number of Beasts, 300.
Beef, from Ga. 6d. to n. 6.1. per stone of 161 b. Number of
Sheep, 2,600. Mutton, from 6d. to Old. per lb.
YORK, Nov. 11.-This morning there was a fair supply of
both fat and lean Beasts, which met with ready purchasers,
the former realising 6s. to 6s. 6d, per stone. An average
number of Sheep was brought forward, which sold at Gd.
per lb.
ENNISRILLEN.-Our fair was better supplied with Stock
of every description than anypreeeding one for some month..
Fat and milch Cows were in good demand, and many of
each, particularly the latter, brought high prices. Sheep
were rather dearer than usual; but few of them were pur-
chased. The number of Pigs was veryi inconsiderable, and
most of them were brought home unsold.
MOHILL FAIR, Nov. 11.-Scarcely a Beast brought the
owners more than from 6/. to 81., with little demand. Two-
year-old Stock went off as low ae 21. to 31. 10s. In on
respects the fair was much complained of, and thinly attended
for any purpose of traffic.
MULLING tit FAIR.-There were a good many buyers on
the green, but the quantity of stock was very limited, as all
the late fairs were discouraging to sellers. Perhaps the great
increase in price over late fairs is owing to the scarce supply
of stock ; however, let it arise from what cause it may, prime
Beef brought 50s. per cwt. ; and, on an average, each beast
realised to the owner an increase of 2/. in value. Mutton
sold equally well ; and all descriptions of stock participated,
to some degree, in the ascending scale. Horses (for which
the fair is famous) were in great numbers, and many changed
owners at remunerating prices. 1751. was the highest price
we heard named for a Horse at the fair. A good many long-
tails were purchased for the army, at about the regulation
price. On the whole, the fair has been a most satisfactory
one.
DUMFRIES, Nov. 10.-Of drove Cattle there was a poor
supply, and not much looked alter, cattle for wintering being
most inquired for; sales, however, were slow, and prices es
near as may be at the raves of last week. A good many
were untold. Cheviots, brocklesa and black-faced R 2112.,
Ewes, and Lambs slow sales.
