It is all such as you see

in the mouth of that sack. What is the price? Twenty-two shillings. That is above the market rate.

I will give 20 shillings a barrel, for what you have of that kind. You will give twenty-one for it, and twentythree for the seed oats. I offered enough for that.

I shall get as much for

it, as I asked from you. Ishall get it cheaper than that.

If you get it for less, it

will not be so good. There is not better meal

corn, in this country. How much have you of it?

There are eighteen bar

rels, in those nine sacks; and six barrels, in the other three sacks. Do not refuse my offer, and I will buy it all from you. You shall add three pence per barrel, for the white oats. That is twenty-three shillings. How much money does it all come to?

At present I intend to buy a few sacks of rye.

I believe there is none in market.

What do you ask for this meal? Seventeen shillings, and nine pence, per hundred weight.

I think it is damp; the corn has not been well dried.

I assure you it is very dry. It is ground too fine. You may get coarser, but you will not find better meal. I will give you sixteen shillings per hundred weight.

I cannot take it.

Will you go to the fair?

With all my heart. Make haste then, or we shall be late.

We shall be time enough.
Now I am ready.
Let us set out.
Do you intend to buy,

or to sell? I have some cows to sell, and I wish to buy some sheep.

And I propose to buy a saddle horse. There are very good

horses in this country. Yes--but they are very dear. What a number of people are going to the fair! You do not see the half of them.

There will be a great shew of cattle. Where are your cows?

Yonder, at the lower end of the street. I see them; they appear to be in good order. There are none fatter in

the country.

How much do you expect for them? At least twelve guineas per head.

That is a great price. They are well worth it. Here is a person who seems to be selling a horse. Let us speak to him. How much do you ask for that horse. He is cheap of forty guineas. How old is he? He will le exactly seven, at next May.

I take him to be more; he is past mark of mouth.

I assure you that is his age, for I reared him myself.

Does he trot well?
He can either walk, trot,

or gallop, as well as
any horse in the coun-
try.

As you seem to like my

If I give you so much,

you must return me a

You may leave that to my own good will. I shall do so. Well, there are thirty eight guineas. Of which I return you half a guinea as a luckpenny. Shall I take the horse to your own house? No, my groom will be here presently, and receive him from you. Well, Sir, I have bought a horse since you left
