FALKIRK OCTOBER TRYST.

(From the Scotsman)
During last week great quantities of stock were
brought up to the neighbourhood of Falkirk for the
third and last great market of the season ; and early
upon Monday last the 10th curt., the Tryst grounds
at Stenhouse Muir, consisting of eighty imperial.ncres,
were thickly studded with fine flocks of all binds of
sheep. It was allowed to have been the largest sheep
market which has vet taken place. We should think
there were from 95,000 to 100,000 upon the grounds.
At the Tryst there was not such a large proportion
of the white-faced Cheviots as were at the September
market ; but several very large lots of this fine breed
appeared to the best advantage.. Among them vy° • .
noticed a lot of 1,500 three-year-old wedders, which
were sold early in the forenoon by Mr. Scott, Hawiekt
to Mr. Pagan, Liverpool ; Mr. Patterson, Caithness,
also disposed of several large lots early in the day
White-faced wedders fetched, in large lots, from '225'
to 245. per head ; a few very fine cuts of ditto, '265-
Black-faced wedders from 16s. to 215., average. 175'
Gd.; a few of a very superior quality of ditto brought
265. Gd., crosses from 7s. to 1 is. per head.
Sixty score of white-faced ewes were sold to a
Northumberland dealer for 101. 10s. per score ;
black-
faced ewes from ss. to 10s.
and
Mr. M'Donald sold about 1,400 of the Gleneves fl„
Benevis black-faced wedders, three-years-old, chief
for Ayrshire, at 19s. 6d. per head. Messrs. M‘Farll
and Mitchell, Invercaddle, sold 1,000 of the same kind
at the same price. Messrs. Kennedy, Cameron, 511"
Greig, also disposed of their lots at from 19s. 3d. to
11. l s. cg
The ewes, both Cheviots and black-faced, were 's-
in demand, and for them it may be said not to be sut'h
a good market. Sales, however, went on during the
day, and all kinds left the market in great quantities;
For the sxhite-faced Cheviots, from 10s. to 165! per
head was obtained; a number of the black-faced cures
were sold as low as 4s. 6d. and 55., ethers of the 11t
.
kind fetched Bs. 6d. and 95., the average about 65. 6d'
to 7s. re
A number of lots of black-faced one-year tops
brought up for sale ; for this kind of stock there
seemed but little demand, the best' half-dozen we
noticed were sold by Mr. Foyar, Campsie (who is 51v,
tamed for rearing the stock), to Mr. Richmond, Perl,
t.
shire ; they. brought nearly 3/ per head. Mr. Rennie,
Kilsyth, had 34 of the same kind; what were 5(.lLe
brought about 31s. Such would be the average Pr'e-
for what were disposed of.
Several lots of Highland ponies were also WI
the ground. Sales dull. Mr. Robert Carmichse
bought a lot of 27 at about 31. each. the

were quite crowded during the after part of the
with flocks leaving the market; and what ws3,`site
uncommon at an October Tryst, they were often it
enveloped in clouds of dust. nas
TUESDAY.—EarIy in the morning the Tryst sr .„(10,
were thickly covered with,a fine stock of black ca 'd
and numerous heavy lots of the Angus, Fifeshiret top
Aberdeenshire breeds. What appeased to us theme,
lot, belonged to Mr. Leslie, of Goat-milk F,.0
'Fifeshire, consisting of fifteen polled stots rising I°oo
year-old. The price asked in the fore-part of ice
day, was 191. They were sold early; but the Pr,sci
was not ascertained. Mr. Cairns,: Tillicoultrybo"rt,
a fine lot of muir stots,, crosses between the ,s
horn and Ayrshire breed, rising four,year-01",Aree-
