- SATURDAY, Jan. 6, 1877
CArrLE.-During Monday and Tuesday the
market was moderately active, and cattle
brought prices fully as high as those of the pre-
vious week; butunder the influence OF unfav-
orable kilograms the market declinek, and cat
tie sold on Wednesday afternoon at figures
about lclower, On Thursday and Friday with
contidued heavy receipts and unfavorable ad-
vices, it declined smother 1zc,f and cattle sold
slowly at prices fully &c lower than they CON-
handed the week previous. To-day there is
but little doing in the cattle line and there yet
remains few loads unsoid. Some OF these
were to-day driven over to Allegheny, and the
balance wfll'be held over until next week. Fol-
lowing are the rates ruling: Extra 200 to !, GOO
pounds steer. SO to 25 good to prime l,l0O to

HoGs.-The receipts continue light. The mar
ket is duh to-day and but little dosing but this
is generally the case on Saturday; business
closing on Friday evening. The greater portion
of the receipts during the week have been
mixed lots, and prime and extra hogs rather
scarce. With a fair demand ruling, particular
ly for the best grades dealers had no difficulty
in advancing hogs from 81 IS to 5 80. The latter
price is the very outside of ihe morket and can
hardly be taken as criterion To go by. Most
of the sales of prime hogs have ranged between

tween the price OF York and Philadelphia hogs
