FALKIRK TRYST.

The October tryst opened on Monday on the
Muir, the stock as usual being sheep. It was ex-
pected that the bulk of the stock exhibited would
be far above the average, and the result has fully
borne out anticipations. The reasons for so large
a turn out are obvious. The scarcity of pasture and
the partial failure of the turnip crop have combined
to make buyers:exceedingly cautious in making pur-
chases to a large extent ; and on the other hand
owners, aware of this state of matters, and unwil-
ling to part with the stock as long as a chance re-
mained of trying their value at an open market have
kept them up to the October tryst. The supply at the
September tryst was below an average, arid the con-
squence is that the present market is unusually
large. On the Saturday preceding the tryst all the
roads leading to the environs of the tryst ground
were covered with flocks of sheep, and more espe-
cially the north road from Dunblane to Torwood.
The stock consisted of black-faced wethers, black-
faced ewes, Cheviot wethors, and Cheviot ewes and
crosses, and in general seemed in good condition. Se-
veral flock from the Western Highlands and islands,
which had to be shipped, appeared to as much ad-
vantage as those that were trucked from the north
and south. Intending purchasers were numerous.
Trains brought to the tryst ground immense numbers
of business people, farmers, -arid others. English
dealers were not forward in such numbers as has
been frequently witnessed, though the usual num-
bers of flock-masters from Edinburgh, Glasgow,
Dumfries, and the south and east of Scotland, were
observable. At the close of the market a few in-
ferior lots of all kinds were left unsold. In con-
trast with recent markets, wethers were in demand
to-day, and ewes wore a drug in the market in many
instances. The Cheviot wethers in almost every case
e
supported the prices of last month ; and the sales
effected after that time were from 2s. to 35., and in
some instances 4s. below last month's prices. The
blackfaced wethers of the better quality came
near last year's rates ; but the second and in-
ferior kinds would be about 5 per cent. below
the corresponding market of last month. The
ewes were rather a stiff sale, and a depreciation
had to be submitted to on the better qualities of
6d., and on the inferior kinds from ls. to ls. 6d.
