FALKIRK SECOND TRYST•

This great market commenced on the usal ground at Sten-
bousemoor yesterday. On the previous days a great quantity
of stock bad been verging towards the spot ; and Sunday pre-
sented a good display of black cattle and sheep in all tl.e sur-
rounding fields. It is certain, however, that southern pur-
chasers bought largely some days before the market, and the
appearance of the moor was fully two•fifths less.than is usual
at a second tryst. This eagerness to supply themselves with
stock of course gave an impulse to sales; and although in va-
rious districts in England the foggage and turnips are not
abundant—the latter, about Cun,berland, having a good top
and the root dcfective—still, as sheep had to be disposed
of, Englishmen were anxious to secure early and top lots.
Accordingly, business began early in the morning, when a
great many droves changed hands. The first lot we saw leave
the ground at nine o'clock wss 243 black-faced wedders from
Ross-shire, at 20s. to 225.; 160 black-faced weddersfrom Mull,
were sold to an Edinburgh dealer at 1/. ls. ; 140 half-bred
ewes, three and four years, from Caithness, fetched 225. ; 200
black-faced crocks from Skye sold at I Is. ; 200 white-faced
ewes from Mull, were sold by Messrs. M'Lean and Stewart
to Mr. Graham, Newbigginc, at 18s. 6d. Five score black-
faced ewes sold by Mr. Robb, Ochills, at 5/. per score,
clad. 700 black-faced wedders, Coll N'Donald of Glen-
finning's, went to Ayrshire at 261. per clad score. 600 from
Stron sold to Messrs. Guthrie and Ayton, Ayrshire, by
Messrs. Kennedy and Morton—price unknown. 400 black-
faced wedders, Morrison of Salochan's lot, to Mr. Harrison,
Cumberland, at 241. ss. per score. General Cameron's lot,
black-laced wedders, sold at 231. per score. 15 score black-
faced wedders from Rannoch sold by Mr. M'Martin to Mr.
Little, Cumberland, at 21s. 7 score and 9 black-faced
wedders to Mr. Todd, East Lothian, price not stated. 600
black-faced ewes from Inverary, sold by Mr. M'Kenion to
Mr. Ivieson, Halls, Yorkshire, at 141.—a capital lot. 200
black-faced crocks from Perthshire to York, at 10s. 6d., Mr.
M'Martin. Mr. James Scott sold the top lot of 2,000 cheviot
wedders at 345. 6d. Up to four o'clock numerous ether lots of
a similar description were disposed of, prices being equally
high. The general good condition of beasts was no way im-
paired by the heat of the weather, and although we will not
definitely state the actual rise per cent., it is apparent that an
advance has taken place which in the state of the market may
still prove favourable to dealers, should their keep prove good.
In the afternoon the cattle began to come upon the grounds
principally small Highlanders. The show of all sorts is anti-
cipated to be great. Fillies were numerous, but few saddle or
draught horses have yet appeared. Altogether this first day
is highly advantageous to the northern breeders, and augurs
well for the prosperity of the south.— Edinburgh Advertiser,
