CATTLE, Ac.

IIorLEY, Noe. 9.—This day there were some
very superior pens of South Bowes, which were sold
quickly at from 5s to ds. 4d. per stone of bibs. ; tat
Ewes, at 4s. Bd. do. Lean stock sold also at high prices,
Ewes for early lambing making from 465. to 50e. each; later,
from 40s. to 451. do. Prime Lambs, from 30s. to 425. each ;
common do., from 245. to 28s. do. The Messrs. Warners,
father and sons, had some superior pens for sale. There was
a fair supply of L:easta, principally lean, which sold steadily,
at previously quoted prices. Pigs were very plentiful, and
slow of sale, at greatly reduced prices ; fat do., at from 9s. to
10s. per score.

COLCHESTER, NOV. 7.—The Sheep trade -was by
no means brihk, and was looking downwards, except for fat
ones, which keep up in prices. No really fat Beasts. Fat
and lean stock were plentiful, and prices may be said to be
said to be rather on the decline. Ibe Pig trade was very
dull, with a further decline in prices.

EXETER, Nov. 6.—There was a very large number
of Cattle at market, which comprised all sorts, old and
young, sleek and smooth. The Food was not in great supply,
and we believe the large quantity of rough stock drew the
price of the good rather down, and we take the highest quo-
tation to be 9s. 3d. to 9s. 6d. per were. The inferior sorts,
Bs. to Bs. 6d. Yearlings, 51. to 6/. each. Cows and Calves,
121. to 18/. The Sheep market was very dull, and the trade
brisk. The best Wethers sold for well up to 7d. per lb.
Calves, 841. to 64(1. do. Keeping Sheep, 355. to 40s. each. •
do. Lambe, 28s. to 335. do. Cows and Calves, 11/. to 181.
each ; Barreners, ss. 6d. to 7s. per score. Live Pigs a com-
plete drug.

lIERTFORD FAnt.—At this fair there was aat
supply of stock, and business was brisk. Well fatted
sold at prices of 18 to 20 guineas a head ; store Bess* for
stalling up, made from 121. to 141. each; and milch Cows,
with a Buckler, fetched from 141. to 16/. ; well-bred short-
horned Heifers sold at 10 to 12 guineas • and Yorkshire
bred cows made 16 to 18 guineas. 'The supply of
Sheep was short, prime Wethers made 60s. a head,
and lean ditto, for feeding off, 35a. to 38s. ; good
Southdown Ewes fetched from 28s. to 345. a head ; and
Lambe, 265. a head. The Horse fair was limited chiefly to
cart Horses and Colts ; and young cart Horses, well built and
suitable to London purposes, fetched from 24 to 30 guineas ,-
and well bred cart Colts,ls to 20 guineas ; nag Hones varied
in prices from 16 to 24 guineas. The trade in Pigs was fiat;
well fatted Porkers sold at 4s. per stone, and healthy stores
at 18s. a head.

Noavacti, Not•. 7.—Our market exhibited a good
show of Scots and short-horns, particularly the latter, with
more Dutch cattle ; in consequence of the numbers being
great, trade was not so brisk, and at the close of the market
a great many horned beasts remained unsold. Fat Beasts a
dull sale, at 7s. ticl. per stone of 14lbs. But few Sheep or
Lambs penned, and fat Sheep quite as dear ; Lambs from
30s. to 353., very prime 395. per head, with a brisk sale. In
store Pigs, not much doing. Fat Fork, 6s. 6d. to 7s. per
stone.

ItonintnY FAIR.-The show of Cattle, consisting
chiefly of young beasts, was not so great as last year. A
number of buyers being in attendance, sales were brisk, and
an entire clearance was effected at an early hour. Stirks
brought from 71. to 101.; and young beasts rising three years,
for feeding, sold at from 101. to 151. The turn-out of Horses,
though large, were meetly of an inferior description, and such
as were good sold well.
I)ouSE LATTER FATR.-The number of Sheep
brought forward was considerably more than at the same
market last year. At the commencement sales were brisk ;
the demand for Ewes was particularly good, and old blethers
also sold well, but young Wailers were not in such request.
Towards the afternoon a dulness came over the market,
which was soon removed, and before dark few remained
unsold. Prices were fully equal to last month's Falkirk
tryst. For the three descriptions of Sheep which formed
the principal, or indeed the only stock brought to sale,
the following prices were fully given: Black-faced Ewes
brought from 14s. to 17s. ; a few principal lots sold quickly
at 17s. 6d. Two-year old Wethers obtained a ready
sale at 17s. to 205.; and three-year olds, 20s. to 245. The
sale of black Cattle also commenced briskly, but a dullness
became evident, and as the day closed a considerable portion
of the stock remained unsold. Such sales of Highland
Cattle as took place maintained former prices, but, perhaps not
more than one-half of this description changed bands.
More than the usual number of low country Beasts were
brought forward, but for such the sales appeared to be dull,
and prices were lower than at late markets, and such as
would scarcely remunerate the grazier for the summer's
grass. There was a considerable number of half-fat, but
scarcely any good fat, and Cattle for tying up were more nu-
merous than usual, but, owing to the scarcity of turnips,
met with a dull sale. Fat Cattle sold at from 7s. to Bs. per
Dutch stone, sinking offal ; wintering Cattle from 61. to 81. ;
two-year olds, from 61. to 71. 10s. ; six-quarter Queys from
31. 6a. to 51. 10%. ; siz-quarter Stirks, from 21. 10s. to 71.
There was very little demand for Cattle Vi feed on turnip.
The ordinary number of Hones appeared, but these were
mostly of a secondary quality; prices ranged from 401. to
601. for a good Horse, to 61. for a Shetland Pony.
RL'THERGLEN HORSE MARKET was well attended,
and the show of animals as numerous and as fine as ever we
witnessed. Sales were not so brisk as upon some occasions,
owing, perhaps, in a great measure to the unfavourable state
of the weather. Prices were generally high ; but, although
the show of harness and saddle Horses was uncommonly
fine, sales were very doll.
ST. MARGARET'S, FORPAR.-In this market the
supply was about an average, both in regard to numbers and
quality. Cattle, generally, were five per cent. under the
the prices at Kirriemuir, and Beasts below 81 suffered fully
this reduction. Good fat was scarce, and in demand, at 81.
per Dutch stone. Two-year olds ranged from 81, to 16/.
Year olds were selling at from 41. to 71. Cows nearly the
calving and lately calved were very high priced. In the
Horse market, in the afternoon, considerable activity was at
first manifested, and prices for good young draft Hones may
be noted at from 301. to 401., but really good animals wero
scarce. Middling Horses in size and symmetry brought
from 201. to 251., and inferior from 10/. to 151. Strong riding
Hones were in fair demand, at 201. to 251., and small Ponies
from 61. to 101.
