ALL HALLOW FAIR.

The supply of cattle was far below last year, espe-
cially in black cattle; whilst it was universally ob-
served that the number of country or spotted beasts
was greater than on any former occasion remembered+
and the demand for this sort was good. The total
number of beasts in market on Tuesday was 5,429/
while the supply last year was 7,805—showing a de'
crease this year of 2,376.
Sales commenced early in the day, especially for
fat cattle, several of the best lots having found pur-
chasers before ten o'clock. The best lot of fat was
sold by Mr. George Millemas, Causewayside ; they
were fed by John Inglis, Esq., of Redhall, and pur!
chased by the Messrs. Young, Stockbridge Market,
at from 7s. 6d. to 7s. 9d. per Dutch stone (6s. to 69.
2d. imperial), which was the top of the market. Other
lots of fat beasts sold at 7s. 6d., 7s. 4d., 7s. 3d, 79.9
Cs. 9d., and 6s. Bd. for good fat, being a considerable
rise from the Edinburgh weekly fat market.
Sales for lean stock commenced, in many instances,
early in the day ; but from the very high prices 10'
sisted on, comparatively few sales were effected be'
fore eleven o'clock ; shortly after this hour, however,
all good-conditioned polled stock were quickly
bought up, as were also the best sorts of north
country and west highland ; and altogether the ground
was well cleared of beasts generally by three o'clock
in the afternoon.

Various opinions were hazarded as to the comps"
rative prices of stock as compared with the last Donna
market, Falkirk October Tryste, and the last years
hallow Fair. After consulting with the most eX-
penenced and best-informed parties, we venture to
say that prices for lean stock were about five Per
cent. above Doune 'market, from ten to twenty Per
cent. above last Falkirk Tryst, and fully twenty per
cent. above last year's Hallow Pair. In Highland
we should state, that two-year-old 'West Highleir
stots and queys fetched (Tuesday) from 7s. 64. `°
10s., and 12s. Gd. a-head above last Falkirk Tryst'
and fully more per head above Hallow Fair
twelvemonth. Altogether this -was an excellent
market for holders of stock, and profitable sale
were effected on stock from all the late markets.
From our notes taken upon the ground, we sale'
the following as being some of the principal sales
which may be considered to show the state of we
market. A lot of 28 head from Fintry, two-years
old, at from 61. Gs. to 61. 10s. a-head, purchased i;
the Hon. Mrs. Douglas, Strathenry, Fifeshire ; they
were considered fully 12s. a-head up from last Kei
kirk Tryst. A lot of 30 head of country entwe
three-years-old, at 10/. 10s. for Mid-Lothian. A ,
of 60 head of short-horned storned stots from tu
county of Durham, six-quarters-old, fetched about 71
a-head ; they were driven from near Newcastle
for this market, and were purchased by a felltleore
from Forfarshire. A lot of 30 head (shots
the above) fetched 51. 10s. a-head, they WTI
purchased for Mr. Rennie, Inchyrie House, Per"
shire. A lot of 20 head of six-quarter•
old Angus brought 6/. for East-Lothian. Al°
t
of 13 head of six-quarters-old short-horns fetched6l'
Mr. Henderson, Liberton Dams, sold fat coutlesi
cattle for 131. ss. a head, at from Gs. 9d. to 75.
.1)8,
,1;
Dutch stone. Mr. John Hamilton, flesher, Lep";
purchased a lot of fine Highland stots at
Dutch stone. A lot of 63 head of Irish cattle v""
brought to market by Mr. John M`Elroy, coup
Fermanagh ; twenty-two head of this lot were bong
for 12/.58. each for Mr. Rodger, Mains Kilconquw'
Colinsburgh, Fife, by Mr. Henry, cattle salestnamis
Edinburgh; they were the largest-boned cattle in ti :P8
market. Mr. Davidson bought eleven high-caw.;
tioned Angus queys and stots for the Marquis
Tweeddale at 111.55. Gd. a-head. Mr. D. Roberts,*
Alethvin, Perthshire, sold twenty head of two yei°
old Argyleshire stots at Si. a-head nett; part of
same stock was sold at last Falkirk Tryst for 41.1
a-head.

Really good beasts were few in number, ant
generally speaking, the supply this year were
shorts left over at previous markets; in fact, tbelw
were no large lots appeared such as at Falkirk.
There was a considerable show of good, dratigbb
horses, which were in demand, the best of 103,44
fetched from 401. to 471. 10s. But yesterday (T 11—;
day) may be considered as merely the commeneemen
of the horse market, Wednesday being the day
fol.°o
which the principal sales are effected, especially
superior sorts.—Scotsman of Wednesday.
