Title
16 October 1824
John Irwin at Carlisle to Mr James Longsdon. At James' advice attended Falkirk Fair on Tuesday last but in consequence of enormous price in different sorts of cattle declined purchasing any amount that would injure James. Only bought what thought would suit James' purpose. 20 cows and heifers in calf, dearer by 10/- a head than last market. Good highland bullocks unobtainable to do any good. Attended Carlisle today and unable to effect any sales for James purpose. Only purchased two calves. Anticipates buying a few in this neighbourhood before rest come down from Scotland.
Sheep 3-4/- a head; wedders and ewes dearer than last market.
