HOGS HIGHER AT BRIGHTON.
Beef Stock Prices, However, Not Steady
Supply Good But Demand Slack.

Brighton, Mass, Aug. Hot weather
made market conditions at Brighton yes
terday exceedingly trying, Demand for
beef stock was slack, as was to be ex-
pected, and prices were barely steady.
Hogs were higher.
Some very good beef cattle were OF
fered but shippers found 1t difficult to
get over loo, the range for the best stock
being 9@l0c, with an occasional pair
held at 10hc. Good cattle sold at 7@sc
and light cattle at 6@7c.
Fancy beef cows and heifers sold at
9@9hc, with average tops at 7aSc, good
cows at 607c, ordinary cows at 5@5lac
and Gamer cows at 4A@5c.
A. NJ. Baggs had polled Angus bull,
which was easily the best offering of the
day, and sold at 9a4c. Ordinary bulls
sold at 7@sc, with bologna bulls at 5@
sac.
Calves were we'll sustained, with small
lots of fancy stock selling at lac l4hc,
with bunch lots at l3@l4c, fair lots at
l0@I2c and grassers and drinkers at SO
&c.
A few sheep and lambs were offered,
prices taking a wide range as to quail
ity.
Hog prices recovered from the slump
of the preceding week, sales being made
Yesterday morning on basis one-half a
cent higher than week ago. Best hogs
sold np to 1916, the range for good
atock beinp 1877 0l6Ac, with rough lots
at l5A@l5Ac.
Milch cows were in good supply, but
sales were slow, except for fancy stock.
Prices ranged from $40 for ordinary
mixers up to sloO@$l25 for fancy milk
ers.
The hot weather makes market condi-
tions seem cruel. To turn stock out In
the hot and dusty yards under blazing
sun after it has been in the cars "a hours
or more seems the refinement of cruelty.
The law recognizes this fact, and at 80
hour intervals the railroad officials must
unload and water the stock. But 80
hours between drinks, with the Their
mometor reaching for the l00-degree
mark seems mighty long time.
The local kill of hogs has fallen off
very materially, the Boston packers re-
porting a total kill of $500 hogs,
against 10000 for the preceding week
and $4,000 for the same week last year.
Since Jan. |, 1917, the total kin by Bos-
ton packers has been 774,900 hogs.
against 6e2y 500 for the same period in
1915
Exports of pork products have also de-
creased, the total reported for the week
by Boston packers being valued at $685.
600, against $4,000 for the preceding
week and 900 for the same week last
year. Since Jan. l, 1917, the total ex-
ports by Boston packers have been val
ued at sS,6s4 600, compared with So
$4,000 for the same period in 1915.
Dressed hogs have rallied again, prices
being one-half cent higher than week
ago. Boston packers are now quoting 20
