| LAST WEDNESDAY AT BRIGHTON.
Stock Yards. Feb. 24.7The mich COW
market held steady with little change in
values. The demand was fair, especially
| for the better quality of mixers, these
selling at range of $50 to SIS. with a
| few extras selling higher. The supply,
$50 mixers and springers, was the heav-
| lest for several weeks. and there were
also more buyers about the barns. AS
| usual, it was hard trading off the ordi-
| nary mixers. which sold at $25 and up
| ward. and dealers claim that there it no
profit on the bulk of such sales.
Beef cattle trading was decidedly off
| from last week, average sales closing at
| 4 to 1-2c. per Id. lower. The supply
was average with all grades of beef in
cluded in the offerings.
