Brighton Market. — Monday, Dec. 21. 



(Rcporleil for the Chronicle nndPalriol.) 

 16 market continues divided — this day at up- 

 market, 327 cattle, 947 sheep, and 80 swine ; 

 market, .531 cattle, am! 1891 sheep, including 

 attle and 400 sheep unsold last week ; total 

 cattle ; 2338 .sheep. We believe it to be 

 eded on all hands that the present state of af- 

 in regard to the market, is very injurious both 

 uyer and seller, but notwithstanding, the mar- 

 oday must he considered as tolerably fair. — 

 ly all the market beef was taken, of which 

 e were a good many very fine and large cat- 

 tho best at $1 75 a $5 per cwt., and thinner 

 ities at .$3.^ a $i. Store cattle go ofl' more 

 ^ily than they did a few week.s since. A 

 iber remained imsold at the close of the inar- 



heep are in fair demand, iirincipally on account 

 le wool; but thin qualities have to submit to 

 low prices ; prime sheep for the mutton mar- 

 command fair prices. Prices ranged today 

 . $1 to $-2 50 per head, according to quality. 

 fe noticed the sale of one lot of 50 shoots at 

 cts. per lb. and a few by retail at 4 a 5 cts.
