Allegheny Cattle Market.
March 10.

... d. maTcn ~.
This week has experienced a material
falling off in prices, arising no doubt from
the very large increase in the amount OF
stock offered We do not remember of hav-
ing ever seen so many cattle offered at this
season Of the year. 1t is worthy OF remark,
however, that fully two thirds of the num-
Der offered were only stock cattle. Dealers
and others who came here few weeks since,
and saw the exorbitaut prices obtained for
cattle, went home entertaining the erroneous
idea that stock cattle would sell for beef;
and the consequence has been that the yards
have been filed this week with very inferior.
stock. Many of those offered are not want
ed at this time at any price. Goud cattle
sold readily, as they always do. but at per
cent. below the quotations of last week.
The "can kline, however, met with very
slow sale at any price. Many lots were
brought to market that evidently never saw
any grain. They were not fed as beef cattle
require to be fed and yet the drovers COM
plain of bad markets All we have tosay
is, that they brought such cattle to the
wrong market. They should have taken
them to stock cattle market.
We remarked, week since. that If the
prices obtained did not bring ont plenty of
stock, the conclusion might be legitimately
drawn that there was no stock In the .coun-
try. Our predictions have been fully veri-
fed, The market is thoroughly giutted,
and dealers are losing more money now than
they were making then. r..,
The whole number Of stock sold this week
amounts in the, aggregate to l,l89 head
