Eat Stock Sale at Tibderton Manor.—The 16fcli annual fat stock sale at Tibberton Manor, Salop, was conducted by Messrs. Pooler and Davies, on May 16, and in most successful and encouraging circumstances. There was an exceptionally large gathering, breeders, feeders and dealers being strongly represented. The cattle numbered !¡08, made up of 40 Hereford bullocks, 20 Polled Scotch bullocks, 10 half-bred Devon bullocks, 50 cross-bred and shorthorn bullocks, 70 heifers (25 of them Polled Scotch), 10 young cows and eight hulls. The sheep, of which there were 559, were principally Hampshire, Shropshire and cross-bred wethers. There were also 100 lamlbs, and 48 bacon and porker pigs. A very substantial luncheon was provided, at which Mr. S. T. H. Burne, presided. Mr. H. W. Hamilton (agent to the D uke of Sutherland), who occupied the vice-chair, gave the healths of Mr. Pooler, Mr. Arthur Pooler and the rest of the family. He said that Mr. Pooler had now arranged these sales for 16 years. The attendance of such a large number of dealers that day was good evidence of their appreciation of the stock catered for them at Tibberton Manor. Mr. Pooler suitably acknowledged the toast, and said that with regard to the stock to be submitted to them that day, he and his son had endeavoured to do the best they could to meet the requirements of the public, and he thought that every customer present would meet with something suitable (hear, hear). The sheep made up to 74s., the average for the lot being at the satisfactory figure of 53s. 9d. The lambs averaged 36s. 7d., the top price being 42s. The pigs, which were a nice lot, made up to £7, the average being 66s. The Hereford bullocks sold up to £24 15s. ; the half-bred Devons to £23 ; the Polled Scotch bullocks up to £35 ; Welsh bullocks to £24 ; Shorthorn bullocks to £25 10s. ; Shorthorn heifers to £22 15s. ; and Polled Scotch heifers to £24. The eight bulls made up to £28, and averaged £23 11s. 6d., and the grand average for the 200 fat beasts was £21 2s. 6d. Mr. A. J. Davies conducted the whole of the sale. Starting with the sheep at 2.15, he disposed of the entire lot, including the lambs, in 27 minutes. The time taken by the sale of the cattle was about two hours and a quarter.

CATTLE.
ISLINGTON, May 22—To-day’s supply, compared with last Monday, showed a decrease of 300 Lead, chiefly due to shorter consignments from Norfolk, those from the midland, home and western counties showing no alteration. For both prime and second quality trade opened dull with a downward tendency in value, but towards midday a slight reaction set in, rates continuing firm, all on offer finding buyers. For fat butchering cows there was a steady demand, and, the supply being short, higher rates were both asked and obtained. On the other hand, fat bulls were not only difficult to cash, but were a. shade lower in value, whilst the rough cattle trade was nominal. The following were the top rates obtained per 81b., offal given in:—80st. to 90st. polled Aber-deens, 4s. 6d.; 90st. polled Norfolks, 4s. 4a. to 4s. 5d.; lOOst, shorthorn, 4s. 2d. to 4s. 3d.; lOOst. Lincolns, 4s. 2d.; 95st. fat cows, 3s. 8d.; lOOst. fat bulls, 2s. lOd. to 3s. The Irish supply consisted entirely of stores, for which there was no demand. There was a decrease of 4,930 in the number of sheep and lambs penned compared with last Monday, the supply including about 210 Scotch, 2,120 from Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, and 2,000 from Yorkshire. Trade for both wethers and ewes was firmer, an advance of 2d. being made. Best quality lambs were in steady request, and made fully late rates, but middling descriptions were slower and rather lower in value. Leading pens made per 81b., as follows:— 7hst. to 8st. Downs, 6s.; 9st., 5s. lOd.; 10st., 5s. 8d.; lost, half-breds, 5s. 6d. to 5s. 8d.; 12st. Lincoln’s, 5s.; 9st. Yorkshires, 5s. 4d. to 5s. 6d.; lost.
