There was no mark ed change inthe'mfr.
ket this week as compared with last week.
The supply was small but the city he's been
flooded with poultry, aud added to this the
weather has been very uDfavorabie. The
demand for Beef Cattle has therefore been
light and prices badly supported. We re-
tain our last weeks. quotations though
there were some few sales at 3c. The

la. e. very moderate, but we observe no
change in prices. Vesls~hase been -in
moderate demand at our quotations. Sheep
snd Lambs have been rather more active,
and prices are shade higher, though quo
tatioas are without decided change. Hogs
have been in moderate demand and prices
are scarcely so firm.

HOUSE.

Yesterday referred to the committee of
WAYS and Mesus, the bill ofthe gentleman
from Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Stevens. to prevent gold and silver
coin, and bullion from being paid or accept
ed for greater value than their real current
value, and for preventing note or bill is-
sued by the United States, from being re
ceived for . smaller sum than is therein
specified, he moved to reconsider the mo
ton of reference in "A hours. Since this
bill was introduced, great mischief has been
done, and every day and hour this bill re-
NAMED whore it was, still greater mischief
will result. In raising the price of gold it
indicates state Of the union, and makes
every man guilty of misdemeanor, and
every clause Of it commits the House to an
impossibility. Gold rose yesterday IL per
cent, for no other purpose than the extra
ordinary bill.
Mr.. Cox, of Ohio, did not agree with the
gen tlsman that this bill put up the price of
gold, he thought the President had played
the bull by his message. ;.
Mr.. Stevens, in reply to Mr. Blaine, said
the action he proposed had been exercised
by the most distinguished statesmen for
several ages. There ought to be some plan
adopted to prevent gambling when gold
was put up to thrice and half its real val.
ne. This could not be prevented unless by
legislation. It was just the legislation
England adopted during tho great war with
Napoleon. . ID
He moved to lay on the table the motion
to reconsider the vote.
Stevens melton was negstived, 81 against
So.
The vote by which the bill was referred,
was reconsidered, 65 against Al.
The question then reverted to the mo
ton to refer the bill to the Committee oil
Ways and Means.
Mr.. Stevens moved to postpone it's con-
sideration for ten days.
MIR. Blaine moved to lay the bill on the
table. .-...,... sa~
This was carried, 70 against SO.
Mr.. CONAN, of California, introduced q
bill for the establishment of ocean steam
ships in the mail service between the Uni
ted States and China.
Mr.. Sloan, of Wisconsin, offered resolu.
ton which was adopted, that the Commit

2. Art. /, Of the Constitution, that Repre-.

Mr.. Ingersoll offered resolution direct

Mr.. Cox offered resolution, which if il
was compatible with the public interest, to
