LAST WEDNESDAY AT BRIGHTON.
The impetus which was felt in the mich
COW trade at the Brighton market on last
Tuesday was lost at the regular sale on
the following day. The choice and fancy
mixers were in fair demand at steady
values but on all other grades the move
ment was slow even after concessions In
prices were given to purchasers. The
supply was heavy, there being $50 mixers
and springers offered. After the choice
stock was cleared up dealers had to ex-
ercise patience to close sales on the poor
and medium grades. A goodIy number
OF stock bulls, from one to three years
old were On sale but bids were scarce.
Beef cattle We're easier than at the pre-
ceding days market when the demand
was excellent. Prices were shaded frac-
tionally Receipts were light and the mar
ket depended for good quality beef on
the late arrivals received at the yards
on Wednesday morning. All choice beef
shipped for the Tuesday market was
pretty well cleaned out on that day.

HORSE TRAFFIC.
Boston, March 24.-The horse trade
continues to hold steady under the i'm
proved conditions of preceding week.
While prices show practically no ad-
vance, the tone of the market is strong
tr and more promising, inasmuch VI
the demand Is gradually recovering
from the lost position of last fall.
A little more life is manifested
amongst the contractors, and general
business concerns, where commercial
horses are in use, which naturally re-
acts on the horse market in u better
demand. The western market is try
ing to raise prices on the fresh coun-
try horses consigned for the eastern
trade, but conditions do not warrant
such advance at the present time.
The second hand horse trade continues
brisk. Receipts were heavy both in
the fresh and second hand horses dur
ing last week. Harness classes We're
quiet. Quotations remain stationary.
