coffee finer than is generally sold

fine, because You can the better
extract its strength. One reason
why coffee is muddy is because it
is boiled. BY boiling coffee you
lose the best part. Whenyou boil
coffee you extract the volatile oil
that makes it SO bitter. As to
quantity, use as much as to make

too weak. 1t is better when three

Allegheny Live stock MARKET.

ALLEGHENY, January ~.
CATTLE.-The market was well sup
piled with the various kinds, the offer
in2s amounting to 1900 head, against
700 head for the previous week, showing
an increase of 500 head. The market
was dull one, although taken rs q
whole, prices turned out better than
was expected at the opening. There
were no eastern purchasers on hand, the
result was the operators here had the
market all to themselves. The rates as
compared with last week were shade
lOwor. The offerings, as has been the
case for several weeks, were principally
of the lower grades; the rates ranged
as follows: Best butchers cattle, ooa
z so per cwt; we can report sale OF one
drove of extra cattle at 9 00a9 % per
cwt; sales Of fair to medium at GOA
6 10; stockers at 00a5 on; inferior, 3 5Oa
4 90 per cwt. The advantages of the
market were on the side of buyers; at
the close of the market q number OF
head were in want of purchaser; they
will probably be driven to the central
yard.
SHEEP-The supply of sheep was
liberal, as compared with last week, viz:
This week 1900 head; last week 500 head,
showing an increase of 400 head. The
rates have undergone no material
change, prices in great measure being
governed by the condition of the arti'
Gle offered. We quote as follows: best
fat sheep 50a5 0O; one bunch of extra
fat ones sold at 6 90 per cwt; other sales
were made down to 35a3 00rer head
The largest portion of the offerings was
of an inferior description.
HOGS-The market was dull one,
with further decline in prices, as cor
responding with last week will fully
show % per cwt. The sales were COM
pared to the local trade, prices ranging
from 10 O0al0 50al1 10 per cwt. The
principal operations were at the ppemi'
um figures. The packing season being
over, the demand will naturally fall off,
most of the packers have purchased
bulk meats in the net aud will 90 their

A firmer market, under decreased re-

Chicago.
Henry Millerard & Co., of Chicago, in
their last circular say:
From all the distributing markets
comes the cutlery of mo demand" The
South, our principal consuming GUS
toner, is teeming with letters to news
papers, editorials, and handbills, calling
on their people to abstain from the use
of hog products at any such prices as
80 90 to So 90 per barrel. Their effect is
seen in the reduction of consumption,
and the consequent absence OF demand.
Europe, for the same reason, as also on
account of the low premium ruling in
gold and sterling exchange, refuses TO
purchase from US, and thus we are sent
off from a source of consumption which
last year took the product of over 49,
900 hogss
1t is safe to predict that, if the present
suicidal policy be persisted in, the pres
emit crop, however short it may be, will
prove the largest for the requirements
we have ever had, that mess pork will
not be worth % 90 next summer, and
that other hog products will rule pro-
portionately low. The trade ct present
is resolved into mere gambling, and the
present owners of the stock ars anxious
10 advance the market, so as to enable
them to unload. Country and city
SPECTATORS are maneuvering for this
end, but the former show themselves
equally shrewd with the latter, and con-
seuuently each fails to find any oppor-
tunity to unload on the other, and they
are probably about equally the pur-
chasors of the valuable, but treacher'
ous, product.
