| TONE OF THE MARKET.
Most of the beef cattle at market
We're of poor quality, and the demand
! for these was light. Bolognas and cam
ners sold at IL to PFC, with the low
er price the more common Good cows
brought from 8 to 3slc., bulls from 3
| to31ac. oxen and steers to &C, with
few extra choice cattle up to &c. a
pound. Few of this grade were re-
ceived
Veal calves were in good supply, and
prices We're a trifle better than last
week. ranging from 6A to 71sc. Some
thin and small veal calves sold as low
as 51ac., but the calves averaged OF
quite good quality
Hogs declined about hc. from last
weeks prices. The demand, however,
showed no decrease and there is an ex-
cellent market for hogs. Prices aver
aged from $50 to TIC. a pound, the
latter for the very choice hogs.
Sheep and lambs were weak and dull,
with scarcely any demand. Shippers
bad to take what they could get, ire
spec tive of cost. Sheep sold from w to
4C. ara lambs from 3 to Sc, only few
bringing top prices.
The milch COW barns were full and
the market was poor. The average
grade was low, and there We're few
buyers. Ordinary cows bring from $50
to $50. with choice cows up to S75 or in
some cases higher.
Live poultry continues steady with
very little change in market conditions.
The supply is ample. Fowl quotes at
II to 10; spring chickens, IA to 15c.

WEDNESDAY AT BRIGHTON.
The supply of mich cows was the
heaviest received at the yards for
I several months, nearly zoo mixers and
springers being offered at the sale. The
market was consequently depressed
and general values were lower. with
quite a number unsold at the close Of
i the sale. Had the supply been light
| or ono trading would have been fairly
