whole shewn, while the prescribed particulars as regards 
price were duly rendered, for practically a fourth of the total] 
cattle in the markets. In England the percentage weighed 
was little over 6 per cent. of the aggregate number entering 
the markets, prices being given for 4°3 per cent. The use 
of the weighbridge remains insignificant in the case of sheep 
and pigs, sheep being returned as weighed at only two of the 
15 English centres and at four of the six Scottish markets, 
and swine being weighed in any material number only at 
‘Newcastle, and on a much smaller scale at two other places. 
The weighbridge seems never to have been used at either 
Birmingham, Bristol, Lincoln, or York, and only a single 
animal was weighed at Norwich. i 
The number and average price per stone and per cwt. of 
fat cattle of each class weighed and priced at thirteen of the 
more important markets are shown under :—

The range of values here recorded, in the case of the 
inferior class of cattle, for which the quotations are, as usual, 
defective, extended from 27s. 8d. per cwt. at Carlisle to 
348. 4d. per cwt. at Perth—the last figure being, however; 
of very doubtful value, as representing the value of only three
