Wednesdays Brighton Market

Stock Yards, Oct. 7.-As offerings
of beef cattle increased. the market
broke badly, and sales were reported
in some cases at 1 % l 1-zc oe-
cline. The weakness was due partly

nounced in the sales Of medium to
good COW beef. Fancy steers sold
about 1-2c under last weeks prices
and fancy cows and heifers at
cent break. Gamer COWS were the
only class that sold steady with q
good demand. Cows just above the
Gamer class were hard to move even
at Gamer and slippery cow prices.

larities reported. Fancy lots sold at
