THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

SWINDON (WILTS) CHRISTMAS FAT CATTLE Snow,
DEC. 11 .—Beasts: Without exception the show this day
exceeded that of any previous year, both as to quantity
and really useful *futility. Of short horns, Devons and
Scotch beasts a fair 'proportion, the largest being of the
fine Hereford oxen. Mr. Trinder, of Wantae,e, again
exhibited the most splendid animals. So beautiful a
day (wore like May than December) brought a vast
number to the market; the new town was scarcely ever
seen so full of well dressed people. Sales were brisk;
some of the beasts made high prices, several reaching
lls 6d to 12s. per score pounds, common price 11s
ditto, moderate ditto 103 to 103 6d ditto; butchers at-
tending from Oxford, Gloucester, Bath, Frome, Marl-
borough, Devises, Warminster, and largest towns in
Hants; everything selling. Calves: Some exceedingly
fine an very fat; several making 5/ each, smaller 3/ to
41 ditto, or from lis to 12s per score pounds. Sheep:
The horns and half-breds were very large and much no-
ticed; but some of the best six-tooth Down wethers,
bred by Mr. E. Tull, excelled all others; several pens
of the largest sold as high as 51 each, others at from 41
to 41 lOs ditto; smaller sheep, 31 lOs to 4/ ditto; two-
tooth and four-tooth ditto from 553 to 65s ditto; mo-
derate sheep making 7d to 8d per lb. A good clear-
ance was effected. Pigs—Many exceedingly fat. The
large bacon swine selling at lis per score ; smaller
porkers, 113 6d ditto. Lean Stock—Beasts were plen-
tiful; best three years selling at higher prices, smaller
ditto not so easily disposed of. Cows and heifers in
better demand at increasing terms, some of the former
making 171 to 181 per head. Store calves sold moderately
well. Sheep (wethers) advanced 2s each. Ewes, lambs,
and tegs Is each. A good number for sale, nearly all
were disposed of. Store pigs were of slow sale, many not
going off, though offered at less money. Cheese—A
reasonable supply. Trade good for all of best make and
flavour of Somerset and North Wilts. Thick made
from 64s to 66s per cwt ; second qualities and Dorsets,
ditto, 56s to 60s; ditto bst thin ditto, 52s to 54s ; ditto
skims from 28s 32s ditto. Corn—Best dry wheats were
disposed of at rather higher prices ; common and damp
ditto without alteration. Top prices 14/ to 14114 s per
load. Others offered at from 101 to 121 ditto. Barley—
Heavy and bright made 33s to 34s per quarter; next in
weight 31s ditto; grinding, 27s to 28s ditto. Beans-
38s to 42s per quarter. Peas, 40s to 44s per quarter.

CHIPPENHAM STOCK, SHEEP, HORSE, AND CHERSIC
FAIR, DEC. 11.—Stock—The December fair for lean
stock was held this day, and well attended. The show
of Devons, Herefords, and Welsh cattle was extensive.
A considerable quantity was sold, at rather improved
prices for the sellers. Large two to three years old, fit
for stalling, found ready purchasers at an advance of 15s
to 20s per head. Compact North Welsh and Scots were
also in demand at lOs each more money. Top prices for
Devons and short-horns, 131 lOs to 14 guineas each;
moderate Herefords, 11/ to 121 ditto; good Welsh, 81 to
91 ditto; small Irish, 61 to 71 ditto; cows in calf, 171 to

beasts sold from 108 6d to 11s per score; inferior ditto,
fat cows, bulls, and old working oxen, at 8s to 9s per
score. Sheep—Rather a short quantity; those penned
were quickly sold at more money by full 3s per head;
fat ditto were also in good demand, at from 4s 4d to 4s
10d per stone of 81bs. Horses seemed to hang on hand.
of the dealers; very few selling excepting those of supe-
rior make and quality—even such were not in great de-
mand. Working animals, either for farmers, contrac-
tors, or the road, were to be had at greatly reduced
prices, Cobs, Welsh, and forest ponies were offered at
very little money, yet but few persons were tempted to
purchase. Pigs, very plentiful; large hogs for fattening
exceedingly cheap; small for porkers, also lower—many
not selling; fat swine were selling at 103 6d per score;
some moderate ditto, 9s 6d to lOs ditto. Cheese—A
good quantity of this year's North Wilts make, but;
few of good old; prices for the latter were 2s per cart
dearer; for new ditto is ditto; all the best names were
purchased by or forahe London factors. Top price fo r
Chedders, 725; double Somersets, white, 68a; ditto ye!ti.
low, 665; North Wilts, 645; best double half cowards
and truckles, 565; common ditto, 46s to 50s; skims, best,
30s • common, 26s to 28s per cwt.
&ELMSFORD, CHRISTMAS CATTLE SHOW. The
Chelmsford show and market for fat stock, specially
provided for the hospitable tables of Christmas, was held
un Friday, and the extent and character of the supply
showed that there is, for the present, little fear of a fa-
mine, or of a lack of the choice things of this life, in the
festive season close at hand. Mauy of the oxen were
fine animals, not fitted up at an enormous expense for
effect on a show day--a system which is getting out of
fashion—but just such beasts as are likely to be profit-
able to grazier and butcher, and most satisfactory to the
consumer. The most splendid beasts in the market
were two sent by Mr. Bewers, of Sandon Hall, and Con-
signed to Vl,,r. J. Maion, which attracted much attenrwto"
from their condition and symmetry, and were 0011 fat
Mr. Wendon at 70/. There were also five be
short horn heifers, consigned to the same salesman by
Mr. Page, of Southminster, one of which was sold ' ")
Mr. French, of Baddow-road, at 28/.; one to Mr. Croxon,
of Purleigh. at 271; and one to Mr. Monk, of Leaden
Roothing, at 26/. There was a large show of sheep, in-
cluding many worthy of forming part of the good cheer
of Christmas. Trade, we understand, was brisk, most of
the sheep fit for tho knife, and much of the neat stock
being disposednf.—Essex Herald.
