Pittsburgh Live stock Market.

PITrsBUaGH, June Il, ISL.
CATILE-The receipts this week, were large,
unusually so. nearly one hundred cars in ex-
cess Of last week; the market, however, has
been fairly active, the sales aggregating over
600 head, but prices were dropped in the early
partof the week fully half cent; the best
shipping steers did not bring over s5,75 against
sales OF the same grade last week st q, Is. How
ever. under the influence of more favorable
advices from the east. the feeling was better,
but as yet there has been no improvement in
prices. The commission men, we understand
are advising their shippers not TO place much
reliance in the eastern dispatches, as they are
impressed with the belief that while the mar
kets there may have improved slightly in con-
sequence of decreased receipts, the Improve
ment will In ell probability only be temporary
and that relapse is liable to take place at any
moment.
HoGs.-Receipts somewhat larger. than last
week but with steady demand there has been
but very little change In prices since the date
| of our last report. Light hogs such as are
bought for New York may bequoted at 4,2O@
As. and prime Philadelphia, at 4,ss@4,45.
SHEEP.-The receipts although somewhat in
excess of last week, were not large, 95 cars and
fairly active and the better grades have ad-
vanced Il to u of aceRt, = n. Included in the
sales were car loads OF extra fine wooled sheep
at $40; and one load OF prime Kentucky at $50
However, these were extra sheep; good to prime
may be quoted at 4s<@5; and fair to medium al
4@47z.i Lambs may be quoted at SOS cts.

/ THE July number of "Peterson's
Magazine" is on our table, and is unu.
sually good, even for this unrivalled
Monthly. The principal embellish-
ment is a spirited steel engraving
Ahead of the Field" illustrating an
old-fashioned love story. The fashion
plate is on steel, and richly colored.
Peterson, be it known, is celebrated
fos the surprising style and beauty OF
his Paris fashion plates. The stories
are all original, and by our very best
writers. 1t gives more for the money
than any other. Indeed, it is stand
ing wonder how so good magazine
can be published at so low a price,
viz, $500 to single subscribers, or so
to clubs of four; but it is to be account
ed for, wesuppose, by the enormous
circulatiOn. As the publisher says, "a
small profit on a larger edition is bet
ter, both for the publisher and for the
public. than large profit on small
er edition. No lady of taste ought to
be without Peterson. Now is the
time to subscribe, for the July number
begins new volume, and snbserip-
tions will be taken, if desired, for six
months, at half price, so that the sub
seripti0n may end with the year. ii Adj
