Wednesday Brighton Market

= Stock yards, May 26-The beef cat
tie market showed no improvement
and the small amount Of stock offered
sold to an Indifferent demand and at
fractional decline. The peak of high
prices for beef cows and Gamers is
passed, but the strength of the mar
ket in the past two months has help
ed the producer to sell to advantage
and has cleaned up the surplus sup
ply of dairy cows to be disposed Of.
The bulk of the sales of fair to
choice beef cows closed at 4 3-4@6c,
with Gamer cows at 8 1904 lac.
The better average quality of the
offerings Of veal calves was all that
saved the market from sharp break.
AS it was the average range held at
last weeks level, but ordinary to
fairly good lots sold more often at
fraction below what was received
last week. Choice lots brought 800
13c, with extra individual calves up
to IA 1-2c, but mixed lots were bid
in at 9@11 lie, according to quality
and weight. The hog market was the
only cheerful line of trade, with it's
increased receipts and quick disposal
at 1-2c advance. Average top price
for good lots was 14.40c. with a few
lots Of extra fancy at 15c. The mich
