TUESDAY AT BRIGHTON.
The market for beef cattle showed
little change. Prices held steady, but
with no advance. Choice cattle found
ready sale. Shippers look for little de-
cline in prices of good beef cattle, as
the severe weather in the West has
killed thousands of cattle and natural
ly will reduce the supply later.
