cached that lowest point of depression from which they
bat Orally return in a contrary direction. Summering, no
doubt, was a bad trade ; but looking to the improved
aspect of affairs, it is well so many graziers in the pos-
session of the necessary turnips and fodder had the
courage to keep their St. Faith's stock over till spring,
when they will bo much better grown, if not up nearly
t° the mark of the shambles. The results of the Doune
an Stamford markets have already exerted vivifying
influences; and hence the improved prices at Castle-
bouglas on Monday, and Dumfries on Wednesday. Tho
news from All Hallow Fair, Edinburgh, also operated
as an extent in aid; and looking to the ground already
favourably broken, we anticipate decidedly favourable
tidit:gs from Hampton-green, which commences on Wed-
nesday ntxt. Scotland this year is helping England by
the export of compressed ha y, potatoes, and even turnips.
