DONCASTER FEBRUARY FAlR.—This fair was held
on Monday, and was well attended by buyers. The show
of horses was the best we have had for many years, par-
ticularly those for agricultural purposes, which sold readily
at from £3O to £45 each, some really extra strong ones
fetching as high as £5O each. The show of harness horses
was pretty good, but there was little inquiry for them.
Some sales, however, were effected at from 40 to £7O
each ; a few hacks realised small prices, and anything
n ferior was bad to sell at any price. The cattle trade
was a brisk one, and there was a good supply of drapes,
steers, and heifers. Bullocks realised from £7 10s. to £lO ;
steers and heifers, £8 10s. to £l2 and £l4 ; sheep a poor
show, and little business done.

TIIE GLAMORGANSIIIRE COLLIERS.—A meeting
of the delegates appointed by the colliers of Glamorgan -
shire, to consider the subject of the proposed reduction 111
wages, has been lately held at the Bute Arms, Aberdare,
and after considerable discussion, it was resolved that the
men should be advised to accept the terms proposed by the
masters. The men in some parts of the district remained
out for three days ; but have now returned to work, having
incurred, through their own shortsightedness, a loss greater
than if they had gone in at first on the reduction. The
amicable arrangement come to will be hailed with pleasure
and gratification throughout the district, as a strike Would
entail not only a serious loss to the parties engaged in it,
but to the tradespeople generally.
