• FAlltS 'AND* MARKETS.' • •

At Salisbury fair a small quantity of cheese was
pitched for sale, owing to few buyers attending, a great
part of it remained unsold. Tin prices were the same as
at Rooney.,
At Gloucester fair store cattle were rather numerous,
and many were sold at some advance in price; the suy-
ply of fit beasts was small, but, the sale being dull,
there were quite enough for the demand. The sheep
market Was pretty full, and the sale brisk, particularly
for fat ones, which sold from Q. to 741. per lb. Pigs
were a little on the decline, but the supply plentiful. The
horse fair was very indifferent.
B'ow-on: he-Weld (new) fair was welt supplied with
fat beef, mutt" and all kinds of stock, which wse
nearly all sold : average price 6d. per lb. On O 1 licises*
were eagerly sought after, and fetched high prices.-
Cheese, hops, and all kinds of inerchandize, went off
cheering prices.
At Hereford Easter fair the show of cattle was not so
large as we have witnessed at former fairs, but the ani-
mals were generally remarkably fine ones, and com-
prised choice specimens of the celebrated county breed.
Fat cattle sold quickly at rather lower prices than ex-
pected, averaging from 41d. to 54. per lb. ; lean anint
were io reqnest, and the market was cleared about one
o'clock, nearly all being disposer! of. Fat sheep were
numerous, and the sale dull, in consequence of the lag*
supply; the same with pigs. 'l'lte horse fair exhi-
bited a very indifferent show, and, little business was done
in it.
At Romsey fair there was a greater quantity of cheese
than usual, a considerable part of which remained un-
sold. The priers were rather lower than at Winches-
ter; best tine Somerset fetched from 565. to 64 per cwt.;
second chit:), from 445. to 505.; North Wilt., from 4S.
to 525.; Skint, from 18.. to 20s --Horses were numerous
but they had a dull sale, and it was remarked there were
very few good min.-Barren ca•tle, &e. were in great
abundance, but they fetched very tow prices. Pigs were
numerous, and at considerably lower prices than at the
late market.
Uainsborough mart was held on Stater Tuesday and
Wednesday, and from the very favourable state of the
weather on the first day, a great deal of company was
assembled, and, as usual, there were birds of all fea-
thers. The cheese market, which has only heea esta-
blished a few years, was particularly well attended, anti
a very considerable quantity pitched, twothirds of which
werssold *vireo 40s. to 435. per cirt., being about 3*.
above the prices obtained at the late Retford fair, which
no doubt arises from the peculiarly cunt eoient situation
of the town for the transit of this minium lity ; on the
second day, however, prices declined a little, and the
best dairies were sold at 40s. to 455. The stock fair
was indifferently attended, but prices are rasher upon the
mend.
On Monday last the great annual sheep market was
held at the house of Muir, eight miles southwest of Eau.-
burgh. The market was well supplied, and experient eil
judges consider there were nut less than from 1600 to
18,000 ewes on the ground. At the opening of the mar-
Act, the aide's asked were higher than those of last
year ; but as the day advanced, awl buyers appeared shy,
the prices fell considerably, and may be qtto•ed as fol-
lows :-Black-faced ewes, for lambing, sold at from 9s.
04. to 15s. each; and the white-faced breed brought Iron:
Ws. 6d. to 17s. a-head. Upon the whole, this market is
copal iered to have turne 1 out unfavourably, as stock did
not produce the prices expected, and there remained at
least one half unsold.
WATRRPORD HAMMY, APRIL 17.-The price of but-
ter has advanced is ithin the list two days; new 6at
qualities were yesterday at 87s. to 88s. per cat. (equal
about 235. 6:1. with the former heamage.) Weighed at
the Crane on Thursjsy, 57--yestertiy, 11 he labs.
The advance of bacon pigs, noticed in our last, bat
since been fully sustained, the supply bring very d,
and the weather continuing uncommonly favourable tor
curing. For good lots, 255. 6d. to 265. W. has been
easily obtained within the last two days, and27s. suss
paid in one instance for a few of superior quality. Scald-
ed pigs, 19s. t0235.-Heads, 13s. to 145.--Offal, lls. to
12s. per cwt.
Noawicu, APRIL 19.-There was a good supply of lean
stock at market on Saturday. and good Scots maintained
their prises; the inferior sort sold slowly on rather lower
terms. Good fat beasts fully support the late prices. The
sheep pens were numerously attended, and Sheep and Lambs
were plentiful, bat many went off unsold. Good Mutton
still appears to be scarce and rather higher. Pigs were
plentiful, but sold slowly. in the horse markek there was
but little doing.
