NEWMARKET RACES—This DAY.
Six races are fixed for this day. The first at 1.30 ;
the last, the Bretby Stake, at 4.

Hors.—The market is now tolerably well supplied with
new hops of general good colour and quality. Trade not
active, holders and purchasers disagreeing as to the price.
Sales have been effected from 181. to 251. Very choice
samples somewhat higher. Inferior and mouldy samples,
121. The growths are very short of the estimated quan-
tities, and some few planters have left diseased hops re-
maining upon the poles to secure first-rate samples.
Good samples have been obtained this year from the
kilns not being overloaded, as has been the case in former
years. The fires have had a much better effect upon the
hops, producing a more genuine colour than if laid
upon the kilns thickly. If the growers are judicious in
effecting sales, avoiding to glut the market, as is too
often done, the opinion appears to be that high prices
will be secured for their produce. The duty is variously
estimated horn 40,0001. to 50,0001., but if a general re-
port of the extreme shortness of the crops be any crite-
rion, we should be decidedly against 50,0001. or even
45 0001.—Kentish Gazette.

FALKIRK TRYST.—The third and last of these great
annual markets commenced on Monday, October 9,
with the sale of sheep. The stock that appeared on
the ground was considerably above the number of
last month. This was accounted for by a larger turn-
out of blackfaced stock than what appeared last
month. The stock, although in good condition, was
nothing, particularly in point of appearance, to what
it was in September, and it is generally allowed that the
stocks brought out in the above month are the pick of
all stocks. Sales in the early part of the forenoon went
on briskly, and what was really good in ewes and wed-
ders—black and whitefaced—sold readily. For the bet-
ter kinds of stock, it never ceased until the whole of that
class were disposed of. The reason assigned for this
unprecedented demand is in consequence of the turnips
having made so much of late by the recent rains in Dum-
friesshire, Cumberland, and Westmoreland. There was
a goadly number of buyers from Northumberland, but
they did not purchase extensively. The stock was com-
posed of Cheviot ewes and wedders, and a good many
lots of crosses of both kinds. It is allowed that the
stock shown to-day was superior to anything shown
at this corresponding market for many years, no
doubt arising from the very excellent grazing season,
At the close of the market very few lots remained
unsold, and these were composed of old ewes and
wedders in very inferior condition. . The market was
admitted to be throughout a good selling market, with a
fair remuneration to the seller ; unless, in some in-
stances, where they had been bought too dear at Inver-
ness in July last. A further proof of this extra stock
to-day only requires to be mentioned, that the agent for
the Edinburgh and Glasgow Bank did nearly one-third
more business to-day than at the corresponding market
of last month. Cnoviot wedders, in some instances,
would be is. a head higher than last month, but several
lots went off at the same prices ; Cheviot ewes from lre
to ls. 6•1. above last month. Black[iced wedders, the
better kinds of them, supported the prices of last month,
but the inferior kinds were a shade less ; the ewes were
fully ls. 6d. a head above last month's prices. Crosses
also sold well, and had a ccr!•esponding rise according to
quality._Edinburgh Advcliser.
