Others followed at £ 25 , etc. , down to £ 22 10s .. the score averaging £ 26 2s . 4jd . " Next followed the consignment of Mr. W. H.

Com- paratively juvenile in years , he is a veteran as a dealer and judge , he having purchased 24 head at the splendid average of £ 26 3s . 24d . , and sold 14 at the average of £ 24 1s . 5d . He took a reserve card for a beast under two years , second for a pair of grand black bullocks . Mr. Hodgetts , of Birming- ham , secured the four at £ 30 10s . , £ 30 £ 80 , and £ 96 5s .

This red letter day of the year has again passed , and favoured with a fine day and a capital attendance , a considerable catalogue of extraordinary good cattle was quickly negotiated at what everybody says good prices . Farmers in this district have held for many years a reputation as first class feeders of stock , and their efforts have in- variably been crowned with success . Mr. H. A. Preece , before commencing the sale of cattle , said on behalf of his firm he wished to thank the farmers for their staunch support throughout the year ; also the buyers for their regular attendance , the givers of prizes , and those who had kindly given their assistance in helping the sale forward . It was generally remarked by good judges that they hadn't seen a better selection of cattle for many years . We believe that up to the moment of going to press , that £ 99 5s . , the amount paid for a ripe Hereford bullock of Mr. Geo . Stanley Price's , of Hom , had top- ped the county ; at any rate , no report of Mr. A. T. Webb , of Bollitree Castle , pen- any other Xmas market had given such a ned 17 very choice weights and quality , sell- quotation . The sale of this particular bul- ing from £ 28 17s . 6d . with an average of lock , with his ribbons and prize cards , caused £ 21 88. 9d . Mr. Corbishley's , jun .. bullock quite a sensation as it fell , after much sold far £ 23 to Messrs . Webb and Co .; Mr. friendly competition , to the bid of Mr. Cress- J. J.

Price hammer fell , how pleased would have been sent 12 grand cattle for competition , which the late Mr. Edward Keene could he have realised £ 958 7s . 6d . , or an average of £ 29 been present to see how magnificently the 17s . 3d . They were marvellously ripe . They Hom reputation had been maintained , and carried the following ribbons and honours : following prices , as they are extraordinarily good : Mr. Cresswell , £ 39 5s .; Mr. Probert . £ 35 10s . ( winners of Capt . Ker's prize ) , £ 36 ( 5s .. £ 38 56 .; Mr. ( Pontypool ) , Mr. Rowbotham ( Birmingham ) , Mr. Scudamore ( Pontypridd ) , Mr. W.

Corbishley , who takes the prizes therefor . A at The result of the sale was wholly satis- factory . The sale was over 2.15 p.m. , enabling purchasers to get their stock off in good time . The awards of the judges , Messrs . Haggett , C. E. Elliott . Cresswell and Summers gave the utmost satisfaction . Thanks are given to the four young farmers who gave the auctioneers such valuable assistance in sending the cattle so expeditiously into the pens for sale , viz . , Mr. F. Hodges , Mr. J. H.
