CATTLE,-The market was somewhat strong
er and perhaps a little more active, particular
ly for good cattle. and at 10 o'clock, there were
but few in the pens unsold, though all things
considered, the market was not as good as
would be expected, not much better than that
of last week, notwithstanding the number on
sale was not as large by 200 head. Prime butch
ers stock sold readily at full prices, say 71%@S
cts some few at 81 and medium may be quotdd
at 614@7. There was a fair demand for stock
cattle. with sales at H4@6 cts,

kind, sold without much difficulty at full
prices, say 5@51I to Gets, q fb and common to
medium at S3@S4 head. Lambs may be quot
ed at 81 ,5O@4, so q head, according to size and

that there will be for a month to come. We
continue to quote, in retail way, at slc@1614 2

On SATURDAY. last the Democrats me,

On Saturday last the Democrats met
to 90 through the usual routine of rati-
fyiTg the selections made by the leaders
OF the party. A very respectable NUM-
Der were on hand, and of course every
thing went off as smoothly as could be
expected. The present incumbent was
renominated for Sheriff. Capt. Thomas
certainly will be pleased with this in
formation. James Kinney of Smith,
was nominated for Commissioner. Mr..
Kinney is good business man, and if
he cuts loose from the record of his par
ty, refuses TO sanction the reckless ex-
penditures of the present Commission
ers, if elected. will certainly make good
officer. Mr.. -- tiosett, was nomina-
ted for Infirmary Director. Mr.. Ken
nedy of Mead, was nominated for Cor
oner. There seems to be a disposition
in the Southern part of the County to
control the nominations this Fall, both
in the Republican and Democratic Con-
ventions.
