PITTsBURGu, August Is.

lITTsBURGH, August 10.
The run of stock thus far is about equal
tu the usual arrivals Ia this date; nor
does the quality differ essentially. There
was the usual number of local buyers oil
hand, who were looking around through
the pens fof stock suitable for their pur-
poses, and when they found n lot of the
right kind they were not slow IN closing
a bargain. Eastern purchasers were ar
riying in goodly numbers this afternoon,
and after refreshing nights sleep will
doubtless make things lively tomorrow
in the way of purchasing stock.
The status of the market is not yet 90
tablshcd; but from the sales up Ia noon
to-day We CLEAN the fact that prices do
not differ materially from those ruling NJ
the close of last week. And should the
run not prove too heavy, and the stock
suited to the market, good trade may
be- looked for the balance Uf the week,
The grades demanded to-day were ~
