! The editor is not a fool, and he knew well
while making the charge on the Commissioners
and Auditor, Of increased taxation, they had
nothiI z in the world TO do with it. It is the
result OF flaws passed by Radical Legislature.
This increased taxation is principally the result
OF local legislation given to townships and
school districts by Repu lican legislation; we
can't think the editor will let this wholesale

he don't retract we will give the figures and
show that this attack on the Commissioners

Allegheny Cattle Market.


CATTLE-The supply of cattle day was very
light, numbering only some 625 head, and in
consequence the market was stronger, with an
advance fully Soc q hundred established on all
grades compared with the prices one week ago.
The market, however, was devoid ofexcitement,
and nearly all the stock taken by the retail
trade. Prices ranged from 81 50 TO IS so for
stockers; for me iium butchers stock So 50G7 co.
and for prime butchers stock 81 500lS 80 p hun
dred. The quality was fully up 10 the usual
standard of the market, and the pens empty
before the close of the market.
SHEEP-The number on sale numbered some
300 head, which was considerably ahead of last
weeks supply. Several droves were taken tor
shipment east, but the greater portion were
bought by our butchers at prices ranging from
81 5092 80 ? head for the lowest grades; 81 50G
so 2 hundred for common to fair, and S. 0O@6 %
q hundred for prime TO extra. Before we left
the yards the pens were nearly empty.
HoGS-The supply as been very light and
prices again advanced over last week, with sales
reported in a retail way at Sll 00@l4 80 p hun
dred, gross, as to quality. At these high figures
the supply was inadequate to the demand for the
Pittsburgh market, and nearly all were sold
in 10
