Brighton JMarkkt — .Monday, Nov. 22. 



At market, this day, 3009 Cattle, 7270 Sheep, and 90 

 swine. 



Pricks.— Beef Cattle from $3 25 to 4 37i ; a few ex- 

 tra Cattle were taken at 4 50. 



Barrelling Cattle dull ; very few sales effected ; the 

 barrellers have had as many as they could conveniently 

 turn their hands to of late, and appear to have already pur- 

 cha.sed nearly or quite their supply ; lots were offered at 

 the former prices, but refused— a' falling off of nearly 17 

 cts. the hundred, say for Mess 3,33 a 3,42 • No 1 2 84 a 

 2,92. 



Sheep. — Sales not so quick as usual, probably in conss- 

 quence of the weather, and we were of opinion that former 

 prices were hardly supported : we noticed one lot of several 

 hundred taken at 1,00; also lots at 1,25, 1,33, and 1,37J ; a 

 lot of about 800 at 1 ,40 ; lots at 1,50, 1.62, 1,88, and 2,00 ■ 

 and one lot of 80 wethers at 2,50. ' ' 



Swine.— Scarce, and in better demand than barrelling 

 cattle ; buyers are notyet fully supplied ; a small advanee 

 was effected on those retailed, say 4i for Sows, and 5i lor 

 Barrows. — Patriot.
