Well, Chicago Total In addition to the above thete was one car irought seer from the Central Yards, and about I car driven In from the country, so that the whole number would aggregate thirty car loads.

With such a limited number un sale, the market .was a remarkably stiff one. end, as might be expected , the butcher s took hold without much hesitation, and the pens were almost entirely rimmed by 10 o'clock. something unusual. as it frminently happens that there are some unsold et noon. Prices, compared with lastweek, were higher, fully . Z.l cents per cwt, but the drovers alleged that they made littleor no money, that their stock cost that touch nitre in the west.

Conerable complaint is being made by our d rov ers In regard to westeru freights. and if the statements they make are correct, they certainly have good Mote for so doing. It Is claimed that stock Is being shipped from Chi cago to Buffalo the rate per cwt, and a draw , back, whereas the rate from Chicago to Pitts ' burgh Is 10 eta. per cwt.- and no drawback. The result 4s that the great proportion of the cattle that formerly came to Pittsburgh are being shipped east by other routes, for the very good reason that there is a large saving In the cunt of transportation. and this ac counts mainly for the fact that cattle are as cheap relatively in the east ns they are here.
