CATTLE.—BANOOII Kim—There was no great
display of Cattle, and many Beasts appeared rather low in
condition. The top price asked fur four-year-olds, in calf,
was 181.; two-year•old heifers, 101. The buyers on such
terms were few, and there was a general shyness in dealing
on any terms. The transactions in horse•tiesh were very
limited.

BaaEwELL FA n..—A good show of Beane, but prixs de-
clining, and many went away unsold. Good farming Horses
found ready customers at remunerating prices. Of Pigs
there was a greater number than for many years past, but we
did not hear that much business was done in them. There
were no Sheep.
GLOUCESTER FRIE. was very numerously attended both by
farmers and dealers, and the show of all kinds of stock was
large, excepting that of Beef, wh/ch was rather scanty ; what
did appear met a ready sale ; prime animals obtained full 6d.
per lb. ; inferior, 6d. to 614. Store Cattle of all descriptions,
in good condition, sold readily at high pries, particularly
barren and springing Heifers, which were much sought after;
but there was not mach sale for inferior stock out of con-
dition, and many of this description were driven away un-
sold. Fat Sheep averaged fully 7d. per lb. ; some prime
Herefordshire Wethers obtained 71d. The number of
store Sheep penned was large, but in consequence of the
sanity of spring keep the sale was dull, exoeptir g for those in
fresh condition, which sold readily, at high prices; but many
of inferior quality left the fair unsold. There was only a
small show of Horses, and all sinful animals were in good
request, and sold at high prices. Upon the whe!e, the fair
was considered a very good one, and prices were satisfactory
to the sellers.

HEREFORD FAIR.—The stock in offer at this fair exceeded
the supply usually seen at this season. This may be attri-
buted to the great scarcity of keep ; the Swedes are nearly
all gone, sod the lateness of the spring is visible on the bare
faces of the meadows ; this time last year there was a good
" bite " on the pastauages, now they are as smooth as the
back of the hand. Of course this state of things had a de.
pressing effect upon sales, anal although a large number of
beasts of every description was sold, still the exchange;
were very slow, and only effected at a reduction in value. We
saw many a lot of fresh cattle that scarcely realised stock,
while few were sold at an advance of more than ten shillings a
head on the prices they were bought in at four, five, and
six months ago. Mitch Cows were sought after, and met
with ready purchasers at good prices. In the Sheep fair
begins was brisker ; fat Sheep sold readily at 7d. ; and ripe
Lambs realised from 20s. to 225., and were in brisk demand.
Store Pigs met with a sale at little better prices; bat in
comparison with former years, the number in offer and the
sales effected were small. In the Horse fair there was the
same motley description. Useful roadsters for the collar or
saddle were bought freely ; while the prices asked and rea-
lised for animals adapted to agricultural purposes were still
higher than the high prices obtained of late at the neighbour.
lug furs.
House or HEIR Surer MARKET.—The number shown
was 13,081, or 4,291 more than last year's market, a great pro-
portion of which were hogs. The attendance of buyers was
numerous, but on account of the great number in the
market, sales were very dull, and prices, compared with last
year, fell from 3s. to 4s. a head, and in some instance, con-
siderably more. Top price of black-faced Ewes, 23e. 6d.
(bare) ; current, 19s. to 215., and down to 13s. Top of Che-
viot Ewe!, 324. 6d. ; current, 265. to 295., and down to 21s.
Top of Hogs, 325. ; current, 265., and down to 12a. A great
number were left unsold.

NORTHAMPTON FAIL—A very extensive so ply of store
Sheep was on offer, but the trade waa dull, and a consider-
able portion was turned out unsold. In fM Sheep, which
were not numerous, the trade was also heavy. Of fat Beef,
&c., there was but a short 'apply. Store Bouts, of all
descriptions, in very excellent condition, were in good rap-
ply. The Herefords were particularly fine. In the milking
department there was a lively trade, and nearly all sold at
good prices. There was a good supply of Horses of every
description; and some very good heavy Horses were pur-
chased, and started by rail to Manchester.

Norio/Ica, Aram 10.—At our market the show of Scots
and Short-horns was both large and good, with a great many
Dutch Cattle; the burrs were numerous, and the sale.
immense. For Soots, 4s. to U. 3d. • short-horns, 31. 31. to
3s. 6d. per stone of 14 lbs., when fa; at these prices nearly
a clearance was made. Fat Beasts a small show; trade good,
at 7s. to 7s. 64. per stone, with few unsold. The Sheep
pens were well filled, the show of Hoggets was groat, and
not all sold at a late hour The buyers acted with caution,
but prices were quite as good ea could be expected, considering
the *umbers. We mar quote all kinds from ls. to le, od.
per head lower. Pat "Skop, in their wool, 81. ed. to Gs. ,•
naked, 70. ea. to Be. per stone of 14 lb*. In store Pip sad
fat Pork no alteratioa worthy of notice.

81.1,,APORD.—The number of Sheep shown was greater
than had been expected ; in quality they were said not to
equal the preceding year • nearly all found buyers, at fair
prices. !'rime Heder LaMbhogs were sold as high u 475.
The show of neat Cattle was large and good, the greater
part of which were sold at fully as good prices as at any
preceding fair this season.
