REAARKs:-A portion of the Northern trains are
again late, owing 70 the This week the early
trains light, only 800 to 400 expected from the West
Our luiian summer changed to cold winter with good
seighDg and the mercury down 70 zero and the city
meat market essentially relieved BY the small supply
Of last week naturally enough then business opened
brisky At MedfOrd and Cambridge with the advantage
On Tue sue OF the growers lhe vermont Central Was
late both a, Me1tord and Cambridge arriving 1T from
10 70 IL O'Clock These traius heavily load
ed than Hss generally expected aud seemed 10 affrot
trade rather unisvOrahy Tor the druvers. Oar NUM-
hers here this week 54j against 1901 last week As il
usually the case At all quick mark Is, some Of the
butchers talked Of large advance ia prices while 9TH
ers we're more moderate IN their estimates. Many Of
the droyer- cite thor sales showing but little ad-
vance, while others con end that their baes are no
better this week than asst We have changed the
figures 10 scale Of prices nearly half per
ID, which we think il tul as much A. they will hear
AT Brighton we dnd 39l Western IN place of 800 last
week with 80 from VI tine instead Of $50 last Tuesday
Here, too the stock arrived late The sales the Wes-
tern appeared 10 be going quite slowly. The butch
ers SAID the prices we're TOO high, although beard
q no large bot At anything over l3c, which one lot
wss sold last week, but ordinary good cattle are full
Il per 10 higher than last week Some Of the buyers talk
plc. which they cay they pay The sheep market
Is also hrsi-rate for the drovers. An improvement
for two weeks ago Of probably more than per head
or lc per 10 rnere grand good sheep At mar
sei this week while the poor entirely for
gotten. AZ sIecimen OF the two classes, b b Clifford
sold lot ~ $40 per heat aud Jas Bdely another lot
~ 50 ichelder Bros sold 800 at 90 per head, and
We beard bet OF u hetEeen butcher and drover
thai he latter Soud not be able to sell his flock for
1913 per head.
