TOTAL RECEIPTS DURING THE YEAR

The fluctuations Of prices have been
very few, average quotations varying
from ll!c in the three first week, Of
June to 9tc in the third week Of October.
Illinois furnished. us usual, the greater
portion of the cattle, but as the figures as
to the nativity Of the cattle are merely
guess work, and must, therefore, be un-
reliable, We omit them. The above
figures, as to supplies, are only for live
cattle but it is safe TO assert that about
$4,000 carcasses Of beef slaughtered in
the West, are brought to this city and
enter into consumption.
Within the past year the cattle trade
has received an impetus by the pur-
chase, by many European steamers, Of
all their meats for out and home voyages
on this side of the Atlantic. An attempt
to ship live cattle to Europe. has, how
ever, been only in part successful.

The business in calves has been pretty
large though prices have not been up 10
those of 1873. The market for veal
calves ranged throughout the winter
menths from to lie, while in spring ant
early summer prices rccrded to Ia &c.
In summer most of the veal calves arrivo
alive, but when the weather becomes
cooler, the trade prefer slaughtered
calves. The number Of dressed calyc,
sold here largely exceed those of liv"
calves, but we have no statistics II, To- th"
actual number arrived and sold
The Board Of Health has, within few
years, made vigorous war on the so
called Bob Calves, which, in the spring,
are run in immense QTautitic, into mar
kct and sold to INSCRIPTIONS butchers
thereby depressing the market for good

The Louisiana Legislature Assem-

NEW ORLEANS, December 4.-The
members of the Legislature have assem-
blcd in the hall of the House. and are the
most orderly body of Legislators, SO far,
that has assembled in louisiana for many
years.
Messrs. Foster and Phelps, of the
Congressional Committee, have just en-
tered the hall Of the House and were
seated near the reporters desk, declining
seat, on the platform.
The Clerk called the House to order,
and proceeded to call the roll.
| After finishing and announcing that there
were lO2 members, and a quorum, a mo-
! tion was Immediately made that Hon. L.
/ \. Wilt, of New Orleans, be made tenn
porary Chairman. Mr.. Wilt imme-
| diatelv took the chair. Here the utmost
confusion prevailed. The Speaker then
appointed Scrgeant-at-Arms, and a
| temporary Clerk was appointed. Sever
al motions were here made, and the con-
fusion increased, about fifty members
| yelling at the top OF their voices.
/ Finally order was restored,
and the Chairman made speech,
stating that ne would treat alike all mem
| berS Of whatever party or color.
Col. Lowell protested agsn.t the man

( Speaker Witt replied that the manner
of temporary organization was identical
with that of 1865, in which Mr.. Lowell

There are no indications of the move
mentS of the White League, though the
refusal to admit such gentlemen AS Marr

advise the people to keep quiet.

The Antiquity of Iron.

The Iron Age says that a wedge or
plate of iron has been discovered i'm
bcdded in the masonry of the great
pyramid: 1t has been a great puzzle
to those who attributed the first use
of iron to a date not much more than
1000 years back, how such sharp and
well defined hieroglyphics could have
been cut on porphyry, granite and
the hardest stone as are found on
the tombs, temples and sarcophagi of
ancient Egypt. But the pieceof iron
found in the great pyramid shows
that this metal was produced and
wrought in the age Of King Cheops,
which is placed by some athoritieS
as far back as 800 years ago. The
similarity of similar inscriptions on
stone to those made in the time of
King Cheops suggests the SUPPOSE
ton that iron may have been in use
more than 5000 years ago.

Cattle Interests OF the United
SfnfnS

Increase in aptitude to fatten and
in average weight, has been continu-
Gus and marked during the last half
century. Since 1917 there have been
imported into North America nearly,
if not quite, one thousand well-bred
animals for stock improvement,
mainly the Bodybuilding short horn;
but also many of the best specimens
of the Ayrshire for quantity OF milk,
the jersey and It's congeners Of the
Channel Islands, for richness ofeream
and quality of butter; the black and
white Dutch, Devons, Herefords, and
other, breeds, not excepting the fat
COW of Brittany. So great has been
the success Of this attempted i'm
proyement, that the cattle of the
central portions of the West have be-
come high grade short-horns of in
creased size and superiority Of flesh,
with a far smaller proportion of offal.
Instead Of degenerating, marlborough
breds have been improved by the
skill and care Of our wide-awake
breeders, until one family of short
horns, the Botes stock, has been for
years exported to England at prices
commencing at 1000 to $1,000 each,
advancing in a year or two to 81 900,
and appreciation abroad was inten-
sifed and eliminated last season at
the magnificent figure of $4,000 for
an elderly COW, amid the excitement
of competition between the most
skillful breeders of the two CONT
nents.
The average weight of importa-
tions two and 4 half centuries ago
probably did not exceed 800 pounds;
in ITO the average in the London
market had been reported at 80
pounds; at the beginning of the pres
ent century the London average had
advanced to about 500 pounds, and
now the official average is GOO pounds
for British and 500 for imported
beeves. The stock of this country
not including that of Spanish blood,
is now nearly up to the British
standard of weight.-PArynological

HE WAS A S1MPLE OLD MAN.

A dricd-up old man, of apparently
about sixty years, strolled into bill
