At Falkirk Tryst, on Tuesday last, a large show
of tattle appeared, and extensive sales were Made,
at prices much higher than ever known in that mar.:
ket. Sheep were also in great request, and saki
from 15 to go per cent. higher than the last year.—
We understand that a large propnrtion (f I !id,
corn crops betwixt Edinburgh and Falkirk remain
in the stook, and that many fie!ds are yet to cut, the
late calm and
.foggy weather having materially re-
tarded the ripening and winnowing:processes. The
crOps, in every case, are etinsidred as fair ones ; and,
in oupocrdils instance, as fair ones; and,,in amine!.

average of aeasons.
