We have • moderate supply of Beasts to Aar. The morning
being fine and cold, caused an improved inquiry for the best
quelities. Monday's prices are fully supported, but there is
no quotable advance. Towards the close trade is rather
dull, especially for aecond•rate Beasts, end a clearance
cannot be quite effected. The number of Sheep is small,
the demand is also limited, therefore no higher prices can be
obtained, except for a few choicest Downs and half-hinds.
The majority of the supply consists of middling and foreign
Sheep and Ewes, which still meet with a very dull sale. The
weather, however, being more favourable fur slaughtering
than of late, almost everything is disposed of. The supply
of Calves is by no means plentiful ; the best qualities are
readily disposed of at late rates. The dead trade having
been so very bad this week, very much affects the sale of
Pigs to-day. From Holland and Germany we have nearly
600 Beasts, about 2,200 Sheep, 12'2 Calves, and 30 Pigs.

COCKIRMOUTII Fete.—Tbis fair was well attended, and
the number of cattle offered for sale was immense; of horses,
else, there was a large show. Good cattle, fresh in condition,
sold freely at high prices, and the chief part of the stock
which could be ranked under that denomination, might be
be said to be all disposed of. There was evidently a &speed-
tion to purchase freely of all kinds of cattle, but buyers
seemed afraid to effect purchases in many instances, in con-
sequence of a disease which bas prevailed in the neighbour-
hood for a long time past, and it would erem has not yet
been eradicated. This circumstance appeared to operate as •
complete drag upon the cattle fair ; still there was a good beti-
mes done, and in many instances at a high figure. In the
Horse fair, young strong animals were much sought after.
and all that clan, or nearly so, would change hands at high
prices. Young Horses, which showed a little more breed-
mg, were also on great request, and sold freely. For animals
of this class the prices generally ranged between 36 and 40
guineas each ; and for the heavier description 351. and up-
wards were obtained in several instances.

Irewicit, Oct. 12.—1 n the cattle market the supply was
large of all descriptions of stock ; trade, however, was dull,
even at a decline. There were a few fat Beasts, but of mid.
dling quality ; the demand for them was not brisk. Seseral
lots of fat Sheep were offered at 9s per stone, but met a slow
sale. Pigs were plentiful. Fat Beef, 6s. 6d. to 7s. ; Mutton,
6d. to 9s. ; Pork, is. 6d. to Bs. per stone,

LINCOLN, Oct. 13.—There was a scanty supply of Beef,
and prices ranged from 71. to 7s, 6.3. per stone. Mutton was
more plentiful, and the average price was 7d. per lb.

Livettrooi, Oct. 11.—The supply of stock on sale to-day
amounted to 1,795 Beasts, and 7,777 Sheep; of those 1,701
Beasts, and 5,185 sheep were from Ireland, 49 Beasts and
2,222 Sheep from Scotland, and 45 Beasts and 570 Sheep
from the neighbouring locality. For Beasts there was •
very lively demand, and a clearance nearly effected, at prices
fully equal to those of last week ; in some instances for prime
cattle there was a slight advance obtained, but this was not
sufficiently general to warrant any alteration in the quota-
tions. In the Sheep trade there was &decided improvement,
and the whole number offered were disposed of upon rather
better terms than last week, particularly for the best de-
scriptions; middling and inferior also were in more general
request. Veal Calves maintain their previous value. Pigs
are coming to hand more freely, and, although in good de-
mand, are about 2.. per cwt. lower.

NEWCASTLE, Ott. 12.—A fair supply of Cattle, but the
quality is the worst ever shown. The number o Sheep and
Lambs was rather large, end quality inferior. A decided
improvement, both in demand and value, of all kinds of Cat-
tle, and all sold. The demand for Sheup and Lambs was
slow; prices had a downward tendency, aed a considerable
quantity remained unsold. Pork was in brisk demand.
Prices : Beasts, 6e. to 70. per stone of 14Ibs. Sheep, sd. to
(lid. per lb. sinking the offal. Lambs, 6d.
ROWSE; Oct. 11.—Best fat Devons 10s. 6d. per score ;
good Oxen at 10s.; coarse, 91. 6d. Trade dull. Fat Calves,
11s. per store ; some inferior, 10s. 6d. Finest Down Nether!,
4s. Bd. to ss. per stone; large sheep, 41. 4d. ; fat Ewes, 4s.

Lambs, sa. 4d. to 61. 6d. Fat bacon Hogs, 10.. 6d. the
score ; delicate porkers, Ils.

EDINBURGH, Oct. 13.-For fat Cattle prices declined
fully 6.1. per stone front the rates of last week. The quota-
tions were : top, Si. current, Bs. to Bs. 6d. ; and interior,
6s. 6d. to 7s. 6d. :Nearly a half of the number was re-
turned unsold. The supply of milch Cows was small. Sales
very dull, owing to the decrease and great lose among them.
Purchasers were scarce. A few of the best sold at from 101.
to 141. ; inferior, 71. to 91. A number was unsold. There
was no grazing stock in the market to-day. The number
of Sheep in the market to-day was fewer than last week.
A scarcity of good Sheep enabled the limited number of such
on offer to sustain last week's rates, while the inferior kinds
fell considerably in value. The quotations were : top, 61.;
current, Si!. to 61d. ; and inferier, 31d. to 41d. A. great
number were returned unsold. A lot of Sheep from Rotter-
dam were expected for sale, but very small prices were
offered for them.
Fistulae. Tarsi Oct. 11.-The third and last market
for the lemon was held on Monday, at Stenbousemuir, which
commenced with the sale of Sheep. The number on the
ground was about 120,000. White-faced Ewes appeared
to be in demand, and suffered less reduction than any
other description of stock. Altogether the market was a
very hanging one ; even the good lots that were readily die-
posed of hal to suffer a reduction, and more than one-third
were driven off unsold. They principally consisted of the
second qual:t of Sheep, the holders of which, it is generally
supposed, will suffer a severe loss. There is no doubt, had
England been in a prosperous state, that few of the Sheep
bet would have changed owners. So far as the northern
breeders are concerned, they will not in any way tend to re-
duce the price of butcher-meat, havinggot high prices at horns
for their Sheep ; and, inconsequence of theabundance of grass
and foggage they have for their cattle,they can afford to keep
this kind of stock until nest year, without disposing of a single
head. Black-faced Wedders sold from 23+. to 275, or 2s. down
from last market. Seocind.clase Wedders from 15s. to 235., or
fully 3s. 6d. down. Black-faced Ewes from 12s. to 145.. or 2s.
below last market. Second-class Ewes from 7s. to a, or
from 3s. to is. below last market. White-faced Ewes being
in demand, the reduction on this description of stock did not
exceed five per cent. on good qualities; but Wedders of this
kind suffered a reduction of front 3.5. 6d. to 4s. a-head.
Oct 12.-This morning the market commenced with the
sale of black cattle, the bulk in excellent condition. The
supply of all kinds was about an average. West Highland,
Aberdeen, Angus, Fife,and other similarstamps of stock, had
a fair sale by proprietors, farmers, and other dealers, for
winterine, but' small beasts of all kinds did not appear to be
looked after. A very great number of people were on the
ground, but the extensive English dealers were wanting.
From the appearance of this, and other recent markets, it is
evident that the black Cattle will come back to their old
reasonable prices ; but several of the dealers are disposed to
think that Douse market, or AU-Hallow, will bring about a
change for the better to the present holders. The losses
sustained to-day by the north.country dealers are immense ;
and they are determined to make ns new purchases, unleu
the breeders are disposed to meet the present state of the
markets. The Irish Cattle numbered from 400 to 600, and were
in fair condition. About the usual numbers were shown from.
Argyleshire and the north-west of Inverneseshire ; but the
stock direct north and those from the north-east were con-
siderably below their usual numbers, the remainder of the
stack having been made up by the overplus of the
September market. The show of good fat was rather
limited, but withal sustained a slight reduction from the
present prices. Oa leasing the ground about 6 o'clock,
about one-half of the stock remained unsold. The fol-
lowing are a very few of the lots that exchanged owners,
the dealers, generally speaking, being extremely dieldeat
in telling their prices. A lot of 80 two-year-old West
Highland Steen were bought from Mr. Macfarlane,
going to Berwickshire, at 71. 71., and another lot of
the same kind and age, of rather an inferior quality, going
to the same county, brought 61. 16s. Mr. M'Arthur, from
Kenmore, sold a lot of six-quarter Stirks, from Breadilbane,
at 41. 10s. Mr. Rennie, of Inshyrie, Perthshire, bought of
Mr. Fawns 40 three-yr-old Anguishire 'tots, at 111. Se.
Mr. M'Doeald, banker, Fort William, sold his lot of West
Highland slots at 71. 10s. A lot of 66 Areppleshire three-
year-old Stets was sold by Lorne Campbell, Esq. factor to
the Duke of Argyle, at 81. 12.5. 6d., with a fuck-penny
out. A lot of 70 West Highland two-year-old &cite
was sold by Mr. Robert Stewart, parish of Connie,
at W. 12s. 6d. Mr. John Dl'Kerraehar, near Kenmore, sold
a very superior lot of West Highland three-year-old Stott
for the Duke of Bueeleuch, at 101. a head. Mr. Duncan
M'Kinnso, from Mull, sold 40 nix-quarterold Btots, at
41. 16s. ; also, 40 two-year-old Heifers, at 4!. 10s. A lot of
40 six-quarter Stirks, Gehl by Mr. Donald Cameron, Appin,
at 21. 17a. 6d. Small Highland cattle suffered a reduction of
from 10s. to 16e. a head below last market, and about 245.
below last year, at the corresponding market. The reduction
in the heavy cattle was a little less in proportion. The Irish
stock suffered a little reduction.-Nora British Mail.
