LEWES SHEEP FAlR.—This annual fair, which is
the largest and most important of this description
held in the county of Sussex, took place on Monday on the
Downs overlooking the town of Lewes, and brought together
a large concourse of persons bent on business and pleasure.
The average number of sheep sent to this fair for some yearo
back has been about 30,000, on one occasion recently tile
number having been 36,000; but this year, owing to a variety
of causes, the supply fell considerably short of this, only
24,000 being penned. For the most part, however, the
sheep were in first-rate condition. There was a large at-
tendance of flockmasters from all parts of the county, be-
sides many dealers who had come from distant grazing dis-
tricts. At the commencement of the fair rather stiff prices
were asked by the sellers, which had the effect of check-
ing sales to some extent, as the purchasers had evidently
made up their minds to act with caution. Finding
it of no use, however, the buyers gave way, and a large
number of sheep changed hands at a comparatively high
figure. The prices for ewes, in which a brisk trade was
done, varied from 30s. to 475. 6d., although one exceptional
lot was purchased so low as 275, per head. Lambs were ill
great request, and commanded higher prices than have been
obtained at this fair for ten years previously, they ranging
from 245. to 365. each. There was a good supply of rams
for letting and hire, for which the demand was active, so
they moved off at prices ranging from 9 to 15 guineas per
head. There was a tolerably fair supply of lean stock end
horses, but they did not appear to be much in request. A
drove of about 100 Irish heifers met with a ready sale, at
prices averaging about ten guineas each. Several Vaunt
showers of rain fell during the day, but this did not inter-
fere with business to any material extent.
