Allegheny cattle Market.


CATrLE.-The number of cattle on
sale Monday was at least 400 head
larger than last week, aggregating
about 900 head, but with good demand
both for home use and shipment. The
market was steady and prices fully
sustained. Prime fat retailing cattle,
Notwithstanding the increased number
on sale, were held with considerab BILE
tenacity by dealers, and, so far as we
could see, there was no disposition
manifested to make concessions in or
der to effect sales. The butchers bought
pretty freely, and with less hesitation
than usual, which may be attributed to
the fact that there several eastern buy
ers in attendance. Prices ranged from
45aSLc for "Scalawags" to prime fat
steers.
SHEEP.-The supply was light with
firm market which was attributable
to the fact that several drovers dispOs-
ed of their stock to eastern Dealers
There were but few really good sheep,
the largest number being ''scalawags,"
suitable only for "Butler" butchers, and
Notwithstanding all kinds of sheep
were higher than they were some weeks
since, this particular grade sold low
yesterday, ranging from 81 90 to 81 90
per head. Prime fat mutton sheep
would probably have brought 4ha5c
per pound.
Hoas.-The market was firm, and
compared with last week, prices have
materially advanced. We now quote
in retail way at l0a12C, gross, for light
to prime to good averages.

The annual message of Gov. Steven
son was submitted to the general as.
sembly to-day. He says the people OF
Kentucky will all unite as with one
heart and one mind, irrespective of the
past in yielding cordial support TO all
ofSien. Grants official acts and meas
ures, having for their object the su
premacy of the constitution of the
United States, the restoration and per
petuity of the union, the support OF
the State Governments in all their
rights as the most competent admins
tration for our domestic concerns, and
the Surest bulwOrks of anti'repu blican
tendencies, economy and rigid account
ability Of all the officials in the admin
istration of the government, the su-
premacy of the civil over the military
authority, and sound and stable
circulating currency, the sacred
preservation of public faith and
friendship, peace and unrestrain-
ed commercial Intercourse with all
nations, entangling alliances with none,
and the constitutional independence OF
the executive, legislative and judicial
departments from attempted encroach-
ments of one upon the other.

of December, 1865. was 81, ,906, ,S94. The
amoun: of cash in the treasury at the
same date was Sl,l9l 1926 9S.
1t is recommended that Lhe cOnstitu-
tionality of the civil rights bill be test
ed in the Supreme Court.
There are GIG convicts in the Peniten-
tiary, and more room is desired. The es'
tablishment of State House of Refuge
is strongly advocated; increased rigOr
| is recommended in the conduct OF the
system of public institutions: the cree
| ton of monument over the remains
of George Roger Clark, in Jefferson
county, is eloquently and feellngly re-
commended; additions to the building
OF the Feeble Minded Institute are
highly necessary; the people are in
voked to seek safety alone iu the invio
liable majesty and maintenance of law
and to shun all secret organizations anG
