Louisville Live stock Market.


CATTLE-The market opened firm, and
the demand good, with 200 head on sale.
Buyers took hold freely and bought such
stocks as suited their trade-nearly all
were sold. We regard the market as ac-
tive and a shade higher than it was on last
Monday for common and medium grades;
while there was no perceivable change on
shipping beeves. The wants of butchers
were not supplied, and we look to see the
market active during the remainder Of the
week. We quote, for common and infe-
ripr, S3.50@4.50; medium, S5.OO@5. so /;
choice, $6.00@6-50, and extra, Sc. 100
% per 100 II gross.
Cows AND CALvEs-Are in demand, and
sell from $500 to 1900, owing to quality
SHEEP-The market is firm, and prices
remain about the same as last week quo
tations. We quote for common, 1000
800, and choice heavy 6.00@6. 80 q 100 lbs
gross.
Hoes - The receipts have not been
heavy, and there is but little doing in this
class of stock. H. G. Middleton is anxious
to buy about 1000 head to pack. Ship
pers are also buying when they fancy there
is any chance to make dollar. We quote
7.O0@7.50 for light, half-fatted, and 5000
900 for heavy well-fed. A few have been
sold in small lots to butchers at % 2 100
lbs, gross. -
| HORSES AND MULEs.-There has not been
so heavy run Of this class of stock for
three or four days past, and we think that
most of this stock has gone forward. The
news from the Southern market is very
bad for young unbroke. mules, while aged
stock, that are well broke, seem to be in
demand at better prices than they were
some days ago. Common horses are said
to sell at fair prices. No detention to
shippers at this point

another bit of startling information He
says that at public ball the other night
candidates for Office were oppressively nu-
merous. When the festivities were about
over and the crowd in the act of dispers-
ing, furious dog fight occurred just out
side the door of the gay and festive hall.
A kindly disposed gentleman, wishing to
see peace restored, tossed a stone at the
belligerent dogs which, failing of its
mark, hit three candidates, who happened
to be just then departing from the ball
Each of the three aspirants for Office was
more or less seriously hurt For obvious
reasons we refrain froW publishing the
names of the wounded candidates. and
hope they will not fail to be duly grateful
for our reticence in this respect.

SOmers Kinney, editor and proprietor of
the Houston CTexas) Times, is dead. Mr.
Kinney was bold, outspoken Democrat,
and maintained fearlessly his opinions
without expectation Of reward or fear of
punishment. He was known well and died
universally esteemed in the Lone Star
State.
He died at his post. Not a sprig has
been torn from his chaplet-
1.-THE dead Douglass won the field"
Mr.. Kinney was a positive and a very
emphatic man. He mapped out his own
political geography and steered the turbu-
lent sea Of partisan warfare with his own
compass. OF him, as much as any man
we ever knew, it may be said that he knew
no neutrality Death, tribute or the
Koran" was his motto, and he illustrated
it with a will and vigor few men possess
sod. All the enemies, worthy the name,
he had, we're of political shade, for per-
sonal enemies Somers Kinney never had,
as he would have dashed them aside as the
tread of a giant dissolves the gossamer.
He died at the age of forty-seven of that
insidious disease, cOnsumpion-the fatal
termination Of which was prevented long
since by the vitality which his unquailing
will infused into his decaying frame. Hun
dreds Of Tennesseeans will sigh over his
death, for he knew and loved them all.

20 witness the execution Of some or ali the

sufficient proof Of facts, no honest man
would say nay.
Mary Ann Fife, seventeen years of age died
last Monday at the home of her parents in
North Nashville, Of injuries received by an
accident some years ago.
The remains Of the unfortunate Itali an

accompanied the body to the place of burial
from the undertaking establishment of r.

friend Mr.. Porter Balch, for some time
past employed as a compositor at the
Methodist Publishing House, is seriously

early be restored to good health.

Noshviue PROVISION Market.

Notwithstanding the annoying restrie'
tons upon shipments South inflicted upon
our merchants for some time past, bust
ness in this branch of trade has been ex-
ceedingly heavy, and the week closes with
an active and firm market at our quota
tons. 1t is generally believed by those
who have an opportunity OF knowing that
the prices for the hog products have at last
touched bottom. and that the future of the
trade will be of a healthier and more salts
factory character. Messrs. Ii. Mllward Il
Co. whose views throughout the season
have altogether been of ''bear1sh' ten
dency.as to the course of the provision
trade. but which have been singularly veri-
fed in almost every instance, and ought to
entitle anything from them to mora than
usual weight, say, in their Circular, under
date of 18th inst:
''There is but little doubt that'the pres
emit stock is smaller than that OF the same
time last year, while prices rule 5OO = Dbl
lower on mess pork and to &c 2 ID on cut
meats. The consumption has been so
large that there remains on haAd now less
than forty q cent of the packing, while the
remainder. as well as all the country meat,
has been shipped away, and probably gone

stocks in that market, Will be found OF IN
