Dispersion Sale at EInslon House, Salop. —Not a little regret was caused by the announcement of this sale, it being a great wrench to Shropshire Agriculturists to know that Mr. J. Bowen-Jones has decided to relinquish active farming pursuits. On the other hand, it is pleasing to record that at no sale of late years has such a thoroughly representative company gathered together to give loyal support as at this gentleman’s dispersion sale. ^ The auctioneers, in opening, called attention to this sale as being one of the most important which had taken place in the county during the past half century, and Mr. Alfred Mansell feelingly alluded to the loss they would all sustain , through the retirement of Mr. Bowen-Jones | from the practical side of agriculture, but rejoiced that as far as the county and other ad-j ministrative duties were concerned he would still be with them, and that it was more than gratifying to know that at the last meeting of the County Council of Salop, Mr. Bowen-Jones was unanimously re-elected chairman, and was also added to the aldermanic bench. Business commenced with the implements, which were of a most comprehensive character, and for which there was a very steady demand. The sheep followed next in order, and realised very satisfactory prices. Store Hereford bullocks readily ran up to■ £18 2s. 6d. each, whilst a great number passed under the hammer at £17 10s., £17 5s., £17, several lots at £16 15s., down to £15 10s. The pollecl Angus crossbreds were a׳ choice lot, and found new homes at prices ranging downwards from £17 5s., £17, £16 5s., £16 2s. 6d., £16, and £15 17s. fid. The dairy cattle sold well, and then came the fat cattle, and the cheerful sound of £20 as each bullock entered the ring was something to be appreciated in these times. Biddings were fast, and £20 soon bounded to £22 and £23, in fact, the “ beef trade ” was one which will long be remembered in the midlands. The shire horses were one of the most important features of the sale. The first bay gelding, 53 guineas; black gelding, 30 guineas ; bay gelding, 36 guineas; shire mare, 48 guineas ; grey mare, 39 guineas; roan mare, 61 guineas; brown mare, 53 guineas; brown gelding, 21 guineas; other mares made from 20¿ to 19 guineas. The colts and fillies were sold as follows:—Brown filly (Mr. T. S. Minton), 75 guineas ; brown filly, 32 guineas; gelding, 30 guineas; gelding, 29 guineas; yearling colt, 21 guineas. A large quantity of horse gears and harness was afterwards disposed of, and notwithstanding the hundreds of lots which came under the hammer, the sale was concluded by 5.15 p.m.
