LAST WEDNESDAY AT BRIGHTON.
The mich COW market was without
life After weeks and weeks of poor
trading, last Wednesdays market was
record breaker for slow disposals
Ordinarily, the exceptionally light sup
ply of cows offered would have closed
| out readily, but few buyers were about
and low prices ruled. A number of the
regular shippers did not come to mar
ket and all shippers brought in light
supplies of mich cows.
More than the usual amount of bus
mess was transacted in the other lines
of livestock at the yards, due to the
lateness of arrival of stock on the pre-
ceding day, when trains were five to
six hours late, delaying sales. =
Feet cattle were in god supply, with
good range of cattle selling at $50
size, with cheaper grades at 19O@2Ac
Butchers bought readily for the local
consumption and paid fair prices.

THE HORSE TRAFFIC.
Boston, Jan. 26.-General sales in the
horse market ruled dull. What sales
were made showed little change in values,
but the bad weather and the little ac-
tivity in contract work depressed the
market for good horse trading. There
was the usual supply of drafters, but
most of the dealers experienced hard
work in closing out the amount on hand
and at the close of the week there was
a large number still mnsold Light COM
mercials were dull. Good, sturdy horses
for the woods sold readily and for these
good values were obtained. Harness
classes were quiet with values station
airy.
First class fresh drafters, 1650GI1v0 lbs,
sold at s3256Is450; medium weight draft
ers at $230oDs325; good conditioned accl-
mated drafters sold readily at full value.
Horses Of 1900 to 1850 lbs. brought $500
sos. First class drivers. limited in sup
ply. sold at 5000 and upward. Ordinary to
good drivers sold at a range of s75Ms200.
At the city sale stables: Wheeler, Nc
Elveen & Co. sold to good demand Sc
head of fresh country horses and $50
head of acclimated horses of all descrip-
tons Good serviceable horses of me-
dunn weight were easy sellers at salts
factory prices, and all the horses were
fairly we'll cleaned out at the weeks
end.
At Welch, Hall & Cos. the movement
was slow. Two loads of fresh horses were
received and IS head of acclimated horses
were entered. Values were unchanged.
Myer Abrams G. Co. report the weeks
trade dull. The demand was slack and
majority of the horses were unsold.

largely fresh heavy drafters of extra
good weight and quality. No acclimated
horses were offered.
At Isburgh & Cos. very good sales
were held on lot of acclimated horses
for driving and light business purposes
