For the collection of the returns the Board have appointed, 

 at each of these towns, official reporters, who attend all the 

 markets. The prices quoted are founded on personal observa- 

 tion and enquiry, and represent, in the judgment of the Board's 

 reporters, the fair average market prices of the classes of animals 

 and commodities sold during the week. They are based on 

 actual wholesale transactions, nominal quotations at which no 

 business is done being as far as possible excluded. 



In these returns, both for fat and lean stock, the various breeds 

 •of cattle, sheep and swine, and, in the case of store stock, the 

 ages of the animals, are distinguished. The prices of English 

 and foreign meat are given separately. Provisions include 

 butter, cheese, bacon, hams, and eggs, the origin again being 

 distinguished ; the fruit and vegetables for which quotations are 

 given vary according to the season. 



The return, which is prefaced by a brief summary of the 

 chief features of the week's business, is published every Wednes- 

 day, the quotations referring to the markets held during the 

 week ending on the previous Saturday. It may be obtained, 

 price id. weekly, from Messrs. Eyre & Spottiswoode, East 

 Harding Street, Fleet Street, E.C. ; Oliver & Boyd, Edin- 

 burgh ; or E. Ponsonby, Dublin, either directly, or through 

 any bookseller. 



The publishers are also prepared to forward the returns 

 regularly as issued, post free, on receipt of subscriptions for 

 three, six, or twelve months, at the rate of 6s. 6d. per annum.
