WEDNESDAY AT BRIGHTON.
Trade in mich cows at the Brighton
wards was uneven. The supply was
heavier than for some weeks past and
drovers expected a good trade, and
were disappointed at the lack of buy
ers on hand. In the vicinity of 400
mixers and springers were offered
and the quality averaged much better
than those offered week previous,
with a larger amount of high grade
cows included. For these trade was
brisk with values firm, but for the or
binary COWS disposals were slow and
lower prices ruled. The beef cattle
trade was very light, with receipts
small. Only a few cattle sold at above
Acc. per lib. Both the Tuesday and
Wednesday market for this week
marked the dullest weeks business of
the year, the demand being exception
ally inactive.

eager to purchase, thus making the
