.e.i,

and indifferent, from 345. to 360. There were some fine
Dorset and Somerset horn Sheep, which, running large,
fetched more money by from 4s. to ss. each. There were
some pens of Devon knots, which sold at from 40s. to 455.
each, being very large. Some very superior Somerset Ewes
were much admired, yet, from the shortness of food, they
were mostly unsold. A very short number of fat Sheep, yet
trade sou dull for those offered, best barely fetching 7d. to
71d. per lb. ; moderate quality, 6d. to 664.
DUMFRIES ROOD FAIR.--As early u 10 o'clock the traffic
in Horses commenced on a comparatively large scale ; be-
fore noon, though the demand was not very brisk, a consi-
derable number had changed owners. The prices given were
generally good ; not so high, certainly, sa they were last
Rood Fair, but still considerably above the average rates.
The ruling price for draught Horan of the first class was
from 501. to 601., being lass by 31. to 41. than the sum
realised for similar animals last year. On the second class
there was also a decline, but not DO great in proportion, the
demand for them for railway purposes being nearly as great
as ever. Animals of this kind brought, on an average, from
351. to 401. A class not to be rated with them, being infe-
rior in size and symmetry, sold for 201. and upwards;
but there were few shown which did not bring a greater
sum. On the second day prices declined on first.elass
animals; and upwards of 200 were led off by dealers unsold.

JIMMY/WU ROOD DAY FAIL—At this fair the number
of cattle shown was rather below the average, Cattle, for-
ward in condition, ;let with a ready sale at good prices, but
Beasts poor in condition were slow sale. High year-olds
brought from 71. to 91. ; two-year-olds, from 101. to 151. ;
three-year-olds, teem 151. to 171. There were a few lots of
fat Kyloes, which were selling at from 6s. 6d. to 7s. per it.
A middling show of Milch Cows, for which there was rather
a dull demand.

LOCIERET MARIET.—This important and growing mar-
ket was held on the hill. We believe we are not far wrong
in stating woolly stock at 30,000 head. The most numerous
stock appeared to be draft Ewes, for which there was a better
demand than for any other class, and prices ranged from 15e.
to 225., a number of lots bringing about 11. per head. Half-
bred second Lambs ranged from 14s. to 175., 16s. having been
given in many instance,. Cheviot Lambs sold at from fs. to
13e., 10s. and 11a. being common prices. The market was
never a brisk one, but Wes continued slowly during the day.
A considerable number left the ground unsold ; and, gene-
rally speaking, there was no improvement over the rates
which had been current since the fair in August. There was
alao a good show of cattle, which would number 3,000 head
or more. The demand was brisker than on Dumfries
Sands the previous day, particularly for good qualities,
though prices were not higher, the value of threoyear-old
Caftle being generally a pound undar whet it was •• month
or ma weeks ago. Thins was a Arfr supply at Highlanders ;
three-year-olds gave from nine to ten guineas ; one good lot
was offered at the latter sun, and driven off unsold. The
two-year-olds were exposed at from 61. 10,. to 61.; but for
these, and indeed all young and inferior animals, there was
little or no demand.—Dussfriss Courier.
Sr. NINIAN'S FAlR.—There wu a great quantity of stock
on the ground. Up to ten o'clock they sold well, but
towards the afternoon they fell fully 3s. to 4s. a head, end a
great quantity left unsold. Leicester Ewes, from 345. to
40s. ; Cheviot, 20s. to 235. ; gimmers, 30s. to 3'b. ; upon the
whole a dull sale.
