TUESDAY AT BRIGHTON.
The demand for beef cattle was per-
hapss IL little better than last week,
but the Improvement was not great,
and thercW aS no advance in prices.
Drovcrs are much disappointed over
the condition. They find little 0ppor-
tunity for profit, as farmers are MAX
ing as much in the country as cattle
are bringing here. The farmers Will
have to accept lower prices, unless the
mnlkct improves decidedly, which is
not thought probable at present.
