CIrTLE-ThG arrivals Of cattle BY the
different railroads ceptertng at the Allie
gheny stock yards were 49 cars, with some
few from East Liberty and Greene and
Washington counties, In all about $50 or
900 head. Tho market was a bad one
from the opening to the close. Tho NUM-.
Der of cattle on sale was only apout a fair
run. Notwithstanding this fact It had no
effect in hurrying up the butchers. AS Is
usually the case when the run Is not a
heavy one, they maintained an Indifference
not seen when the cattle is light, and
moved from yard to yard pricing cattle
cattle and not buying, Tho butchers
claim that when cattle are u little scarce
the drovers send up the price and make
them pay all they can for cattle, and to-
day we heard several butchers tell that
their turn had come and that they would
buy no cattle except at very low figures.
To-day cattle sold about ic lower than
last week, (which market was considered
the worst for a year,, and q great many
are left over unsOld. The quality Of cat
lie In general was not 80 good as last
week, more stock cattle being on sale, and
selling for better prices respectively than
fat cattle, prime cattle mostly selling from
O. to Tic; good 0 to 61c.
SHREP-The run Of sheep to Allegheny
was light, not more than 500 head being
on sale this morning. Although tho run
was light, the demand was corresponding.
" so, and the market was slow and dull
and prices much the same as last week.
Hoes The hog market to-day was dull

butchers up TO noon. Prices have suffer.
