Allegheny Live stock Market.

CATrLE-The run Of cattle to Allegheny
this week was fair, being forty.one cars
by rail, twcnty.seycn Of which were
Chicago cattle, and the balance Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania stock. The quail.
ity OF the cattle was about as usual, some
very good cattle, and some light, finnish
stock. Good lat cattle bring a fair price
In Allegheny, as there Is o class OF butch.
ers who buy the very best cattle they can
get, Marks & Bro. sold u car of extra
cattle to one Of our city butchers for SIC,
which we believe to be the highest price
reached to-day. The market was a little
briskcr than last week, but prices were
not much changed, although good cattle,
weighing about 1900 pounds, brought Il
little moro money than last week, while
common and tail ends were slow AMI dull,
selling at about lust weeks prices. Bulls
sold to-day readily ut prices from 4c to
5tc, with considerable inquiry for them,
and supply short Of the demand. Stock
cattlesclling to-day dull at prices from 49c
to 59c, and tho number in tho market
small us it is very hard 10 buy stock cat
tlein Chicago, ut the present time, to ship,
owing TO the fact that farmers and country
buyers arc there, and aro paying better
prices than our shippers can afford to pay
Tor this market.
SIIEEP.-Thc number oI sheep ON sale
this morning was small and the market
was. a fair one, some better than last week.
ITous,-The number Of hogs sold this
morning was exceedingly small. Sellers
report market dull and draggy, butchers
declining To pay the prices drovers ask,
therefore sales were few md hard TO make
Cowa-Somc 19 to 10 head of fresh

No News From the Tennessee.
NEW YORK, Februarys,
The Tennessee sailed three weeks ago
with the San Domingo Commission on
board, and some surprise is beginning to
be felt ut not hearing from her. She was
not expected to be more than nine or ten
days on the outward voyage, and u day
longer would have carried dispatch to
Havana, the nearest cable station.
WASHINGTON, February 8.
A correspondent telegraphs that Ad.
miral Porter yesterday expressed his sur
prise at not receiving any intelligence,
though he does not appear anxious, 1t
should be remembered that the weather
since the departure of the Tennessee hns
been exceedingly rough, which in itself is
sufficient to account for q very lengthy
voyage The Tennessee is one OF the
staunchest and most complete vessels in
the naYal service Of the United States,
and little apprehension need be felt in re-
gard to her ability to weather any storm,
although 1t seems to have been expected nt
Washington that her arrival at Samana
would be announced by telegraph from
