BARNET GREAT CATTLE FAIR, APRIL 8 AND 9
—As usual at fairs of this magnitude, where the supply its
very extensive and the quality of live stock shown very su-
perior, the buyers from both local and distant counties were
very numerous. At the opening of the fair on ThursdeYs
graziers commenced buying store beasts freely, the best
store Devons, Herefords, and short-horns at 10/. to 121. per
head; the Scots and Welsh, W. to 71.; and all other breeds
that were good in quality met with good demand at equally
satisfactory prices to the sellers; but the trade for the Mid
dling and inferior class of beasts presented a less active ap-
pearance, the shortness of grass in the pastures operating
a great rawback both in prices and demand ; and although_
many were sold to effect sales, great abatements were u2",ii".
