PRICES OF BEEF CATTLE AT THE
MARKET TODAY.
Very best on sale to-day 6(075cents;
that generally rated first quality 4(9
81 cts; medium or good fair quality
3@32cts !; ordinary thin steers. oxen
and cows 2(93 cts; extreme range
of prices 23(97 cts; most of the sales
were from 3(g5.
REMARKS ON BEEF CATTLE.
The arrivals of Cattle during the
week amounted to 1,727 head, against
1854 last week and l ,573 head the cor
responding week of last year, and the
sales were / ,025 head against !. 1920 last
week, and l, 226 head the correspond
ing week of last year.
Though the market has not been
at all active to-day, yet there was
some little improvement in that re-
spect over last weeks market. With
the exception of some superior tops,
the offerings were of about the same
quality as last week. Prices show
little variation from last week ; in
some few cases lower figures were ac-
cepted than were obtained then.
Prices 24(97c.--selections at the latter
for Christmas use; most sales 3(95c.
THE SWINE MARKET.
The supply is not heavy, but it is
about equal to fairly moderate de-
mand. The quality is quite as good
as it was last week in most of the
yards. We quote common to fair
hogs at 54(05ac. and the better grades
6@6B, and extra St same time last
year hogs sold at 7GaS, net.
THE SHEEP MARKET.
The receipts are near about the
same in numbers as last weeks offer
ings, and while there are some better
sheep than last week, the general run
will scarcely average as good as last
weeks offerings. Trade is only fair
for good sheep. Common stock is
very hard to sell. Wequ0te sheep at
2(041., with few at either extreme ;
lambs at 3(95a, and few of these at
either extreme. Same time last year
sheep sold at 34@5c., and lambs at
4@53.

ally we'll fixed for a journey. We
arrived at Cincinnati at 1925 A. NJ,
November 18th, and arrived at st.
Louis at 1855 P. NJ. Here we changed
cars for the second time on our trip.
We arrived at Council Bluffs at 4.30
P. NJ, Nov. 10, and took look at the
city, which is lit with electric lights,
and is evidently quite business
place. Here we are put into emigrant
.sleeping-cars, and leave at s p. M.
Arrive at the North Platte, Neb., on
the 10th. This is very pretty place /;
the country level, and not a tree to
be seen. Sidney, the next place of
note passed, we have our first sight
of Chinese. Here we begin the assent
of the Rocky Mountains. We see
from the car windows, antelope, elk,
prairie dogs, &C. We arrive at Chey-
enne, Wyoming territory at $50; a
very pretty city of 5000 inhabitants.
At $50 we cross the summit at Shei-
man. We next change cars at Ogden,
taking the Central Pacific r. r. Sat-
urday, 22d, we stop at Tocoma, New.
Make a stop at GoIconda, New. Here
we see tribe of Piute and Shoshone
Indians. At Winnemucca, New. we
see an Indian village. At Mills City,
New, we see the first quartz mill in
operation. Our next stop is at Hum
boldt, New. This is the best looking
place we have seen for four days
Here we see some fine trees, and also
fruit trees. Nov. Oath arrive at Reno
New, on the Tuckee river. This is
beautiful place, with a population o
about 1000. At sos A. M, Nov

There being but little doing here
at this season OF the year, it is rather
difficult to gather items of interest
sufficient to write upon every week,
so there will likely be only an occa-
sional letter from here during the
winter.

Mr.. Daniel Smith and wife, in COM
pany with his sister, Mrs, Shipley,

and prosperity in the Sunny South.

Rev. Baumgardner is putting nice

Mr.. B. F. Crane is living in Mr..

Mr.. VanMeter is yet with US. After
working so earnestly and successfully
in the Local Option campaign he is
now aiding Rev. Mr.. Rider in con-
Quoting revival meeting at Pleasant
