This table shows that neither in 1899, nor in the current 
year, has the level of price been maintained through the 
autumn at so high a figure as it had reached in June. 
During the three months ended with September, the actual 
transactions in fat stock recorded, as made at an agreed on 
price per live cwt., were 2,898, as compared with 4,046 in 
the like quarter of 1899; the Glasgow market very con- 
spicuously leading in this particular in 1900. In store stock 
the number weighed and priced was 2,225, against 1,458 in 
1899, most of these transactions occurring, as usual, at 
Shrewsbury. | 
The usual table, giving details for each of the scheduled 
places, is appended.
