NORTHAMPTON FAIR, Nov. 28.-But a moderate
supply of home-bred sheep, with a dull sale, and rather lower
prices. There was on offer a quantity of Scotch and Dutch
sheep, which met a very dull sale. In fat Sheep, of which
there were but few, there was a brisk demand. The supply
of fat Beasts was good, and found buyers at about the usual
prices. Of store Beasts there was a very large supply, par.
ticularly of Irish, supposed to be nearly two thousand in
number, in very good condition ; a great many were sold.
There was also a large supply of Scotch and other Beasts,
with rather a dull sale. In milking Cows there was little
alteration in prices. The supply of horses was goof, but the
trade was flat.
TAVISTOCK FAIR, DEc. 2.-The quantity of fat
Cattle wee fully equal to any former show, and the quality of
a very great number was as good as ever produced. The.de-
mend, however, was very slack, unless for the very best for
the Christmas market. The best fed fetched from 555. to
GOs., but moderate qualities ranged generally from 48s. to
52a. per cwt. ; Sheep were numerous, and fetched high
prices, bid. to 7d. having been freely given. On the whole,
the fair was a lower one than the last, still a very consider-
able business was done.
TOTNES, DEc. 1.-The supply of Sheep was un-
usually large and of good quality, the demand for which was
uuequal to the supply, whilst that of Bullocks was far below
the time of year show as regards quantity, but the quality
was excellent, and those were taken off at rather higher
prices. Best Beef, per cwt., 565. to 63e. • contract quality,
50s. to 645.: store stock on the d., cline, aos.
61d. to to 38s. ; Cows
and Calves, Ms. to 581. ; Sheep, p6ld.

COVENT GARDEN.
This tnorning.—Fruit and Vegetables are abund-
ant; but trade is fax from being brisk. line Apples are
scarcer, and likely to become dearer, and Grapes,both English
and Foreign, are scarce. Apples and ream have not al-
tered in price since last week ; the latter are rather more
plentiful. Oranges are excellent in quality, and
btain e brought in
greater abundance. Spanish Melons may be od and
Nuts are sufficient for the demand. Walnuts are scarcer,
and there is little demand for Filberts. Lemons are rather
more plentiful. Of Vegetables, Cabbages, Cauliflowers, &c.,
are good and plentiful. Carrots and Turnips have altered
but little in 1. ice. Beans remain nearly the same as last week.
Celery is good in quality. Good Potatoes are scarce. Let-
tuces and other Salading are plentiful. Horseradish still con-
tinues to be imported. Cut Flowers chiefly consist of Heaths,
Jamainea, Camellia Pelargonium., Gardenias, Cacti, Nea-
politan Violets, Luculia gratissima, Bignonia radicans,
Roman Narcissus, Allamanda cathartica, Fuchsias, Azaleas,
and Roses.
