TONE OF THE MARKET
The movement of the market at
the Brighton Yards was retarded by
the late arrival of the stock trains
which included less than usual of the
usual northern New England ship
pers on account of the holiday break.
Beef cattle were in moderate supply
and while there were but a few pairs
of steers and oxen offered and a linn
tied number of strqictly fancy cows
or heifers, the market was irregular
in the price of the morning. The
dressed meat market in the city
closed weak and there was no keen
demand for any grade, excepting the
limited number of fancy cows and
heifers. These sold at Laos 1-2c
with goor fat cows at 667c, medium
5d5 Sac, Gamers 3-l-2G5c shipping
cows at 4 1-4Q4 "a. The few pairs
of steers and oxen on the market
sold at Sq10c bulls 5@7c.
The calf market broke sharply to
lower level with an average &c de
cline. Fancy lots of good weight sold
at 10 1-2Q11 1-2c. Good mixed lots
at 9@10c, ordinary S@S 1-2c, drink
ers and feeders 6q7c. small calves
SOS 1-2c.
The hog market held steady at last
weeks range of prices with the de-
mand active for all yard offerings of
native hogs. Winter arrivals were
of good volume. Fancy lots, live sold
at 16015c. rough 1908 3-4c, boars
S99c, dressed hogs II 3-491S 3-4c.
The market for sheep and lambs
is very dull, especially for sheep.
There was practically no market at
the Brighton stockyards for this line
of live stock. Sheep quotes at 3@Sc
and lambs 9013c.
The demand for mich COWS is dull
and the supply which was moderate
was too ample. After buying had
picked out the mixers of quality
fairly good or ordinary cows were
hard to move and prices averaged
lower. Fancy grade COWS sold at
Sl254 175, good $S0Q120, poor to fair
S50@75.

of Jobbing prices as a week ago.
