LAST WEDNESDAY AT BRIGHTON.
A generally. quiet tone prevailed N
the trade of mich cows. The supply
was light, A number not exceeding
$50 mixers and springers was the ex-
tent of the offerings and this amount
was ample for the demand. The
quality was average, with a larger pro-
portion of high grade cows than were
at the preceding weeks sale. The mar
ket was poorly attended and the buy
ers on hand drove hard bargains. Quo
tations show little change in the past
three weeks. but the demand when
compared with that Of year ago is
very slack.

fered sold readily, mostly to the local
butchers, with prices a shade in adj
