Allegheny Cattle Market,

From the Pittsburgh Gazette, Nov. IL, 1865.
CATTLE.
The supply OF cattle on sale to-day
,ell considerably short of that OF lasl
week, though il was. nevertheless, fully
up TO the demand. and the market was
no: as brisk as it might have been. The
whole number OIL sale to-day footed uI
about e.even hundred head, against
some 500 head last week; there were
out very few foreign buyers i'll atten
dance, and, as consequence, the butch
ers had il pretty much their own way
The quality oi the Cattle was about up
10 the usual standard, though there was
small number of the finest Cattle on
,aie We have noticed here for several
weeks; on the other hand, however,
there was large number of rough old
cows and steers, some OF which were mol
lit for slaughtering. Stock Cattle were
in pretty good supply, and feeders, we
apprehend. had no difficulty in getting
all they wanted, and that, too, at very
low figures.
Prime to extra stock sold at from a to
Sit should be borne in mind that the
nUmber sold al the outside figure WAS
very small. Medium butchers stock to
good may be quoted at 8 TOT. Scalawags
ESQ to 5.
Among the sales were % head of mix
ed stock from Belmont county at 8, 10 to
5 50, and q head of steers and heifers
for Charles Shoemaker at $50 to $50.
SHEEP AND LAMBS.
The supply was again light this week,
only reaching little over three thou
sand head, and while the market was
more active, buyers taking hold with
iess-hesitation, prices, as yet, have uD-
dergone but little change. The great
proportion of the Sheep offering are of
the scalawag order and this is the kind
that seems TO be most sought after as
there are large number of scalawag
butchers, in the business just now. As
will be seen by reference to sales, the
great proportion of the Sheep on sale to
day, sold at from ST 10 81 per head
Some few extra bringing 50, 80 to S4 so.
HOGS.
There seems to be considerable COM
petition in the Hog business at these
yards, and while it is not very favorable
for dealers, it is all right for the butch
ers. The number OH sale to day was
rather larger than usual, but with good
retail demand, the sales We're larger than
usual, and prices We're sustained, rang
ing from $3.50 to $50.
