About Stock and Prices.

Pittsburgh Price Current, Nov. 2lst.
American buyers have recently been
purchasing horses in Canada and bring
ing them TO the United States.
At the last London, Ohio, stock sales
995 head OF cattle were sold. London re-
ports the heaviest monthly sales i'll that
State.
The demand for light stockers, weigh
ing from 600 to 500 pounds is quite liberal
but at no high tigurcs-$2 S0@3 10 being
the qnotable prices.
Those who shipped cattle to New York
last week say that their stock drifted more
than doubl" The amount usual i'll that trip.
Grumbling naturally follows.
Trans-Atlantic shipments from New
York last week: Live cattle, 200ahead;
dressed quarters beef, $3.50; live sheep,
75O; carca~ses of mutton, $3.50.
The Great Eastern, which is to ply in
the live stock trade between Texas and
Liverpool, will he able TO carry 200 head
of cattle and 5000 head of sheep.
The effect of the heavy expectations of
q American pork to England has been to
render the keeping of pigs in that coun-
try rather Improbable. and many farm
ers are abandoning it altogether.
There is an improved demand for fresh
COWS and springers, which are command
ing better prices. Hh6 best are selling at
S3O@45, while the bulk of the offerings
bring about $2S@3S.
Chicago is to have fat stock show on
the 2l and TIN of December inclusive. 1t
promises to be the biggest and best tbinCof
the kind in the history of the live srTrl,
business in this country.
According to the Cincinnati Price C,,,.
rent about 2I5, 900 more hogs were nocirsd
in bo fr-f fHxrn, Of
in the same time in 1877, which is certain
ly huge send-off for the winters pack
ing.
The run of cattle on Monday was very
light-about half the number usually Of
fered on that day. However, the demand
being extremely moderate, there was no
advance in prices. as would naturally be
expected under the circumstances.
Diphtheria in swine is reported as pre-
vailing to an alarming extent in the Rock
river valley, Illinois. The throat swells
up, the hog becomes drowsy, and death
ensues with twelve hours. No effectual
remedy.
The hog market opened on Monday
quite ruefully, with run of6, 600 or Z ,OOO
head, most unfavOrable weather and Il de-
pressed feeling. With such a start us this,
we have nothing very bright or cheerful
to report thus far in the business of the
week.
Sheep statesmen complain that the offer
1ngs this week are wholly unsuited to the
