BEEF STOCK PRICES WEAKER.
Sudden Change in Conditions at Brighton
Market

Brighton, Mass, May 1.-The beef
stock situation has suddenly shifted, and
where week ago both buyers and sell.
ers were talking a firm market, yester'
day it was the other way around. Some
OF the drovers were expressing deep dis
gust over the situation yesterday morn
ing, and were saying that they were not
able to get within 81 per 100 pounds Of
what was bid week ago. All grades
appeared to be weaker, but the better
grades were feeling the effect of dull
markets for dressed beef in the Boston
market more than the cheaper stuff.
Better grades of calves are also lower.

ably bring up to he, this is the extreme,
around lie being the figure that most of
the buyers were willing TO pay for tops,
except something really fancy. Good
cattle are quotable at l0@llc, and light
cattle at Sm9c Best beef cows and heif-
ers are generally bringing around ga l0c,
though an occasional fancy animal is
bringing a little more Good cows are
selling at 7QSc, ordinary cows at 5h@
sac, and Gamer cows at 4hM5c. Bulls
were in heavy supply, and prices suffered
in sympathy with the rest of the list.
Best beef bulls sold at DC or better, with
average bulls at 7dSc, and bologna bulls
at 5h@6e.
There was much easier market for
the better grades of slaughter calves.
Buyers say that the reason for this is to
be found in heavy receipts and an over
supply of the cheaper grades. Fancy
small lots of calves are fully cent low
