The week has been famous for sensa-
tional stories, calculated to undermine
confidence until TO day. These rumors
were directed against the banks. To-day
they were directed against well known
Stock Exchange firms, which have a wide
reputation for strength and solidity. The
names OF four or five OF these firms, II Is
said, were telegraphed To Western cities
with the statement that they had sus-
pended. This is the latest device of the
bold band OF operators The trick and its
device were equally denounced by rcputa.

mand Is made for searching iuvcstiga-

Rnlrimnrn Cattle Market.

BALTIMORE, May l.-BEEF CATTLE
Early In the week dealers anticipated q
more limited supply than later arrivals
justified, and wholesale prices were fully
as good as last week, with quite an active
market, the retail trade sympathizing
with It; subsequently the numbers re.
ceiVed had the effect oil weakening the re.
tail market, and 1t became exceedingly
dull and drsggy sometime before the close
Of operations. This weeks transactions
thus showed features in q measure the re.
verse oil what they exhibited last week,
the market then opening dull and closing
active. Prices now show little or no
change except what is due to the quality
Of the offerings, there being few top. as
well as q like scarcity Of common cattle.
Prices to-day for beet cattle ranged as
follows: Best beeves at SO 25s7 25; that
generally rated first quality S. 50aG IS;
medium or good tair quality IS 0Oa5 80;
ordinary thin steers, oxen and cows 50 0Oa
0 90; Inferior and lowest grades Of cattle
80 0Oa0 00-general average Of the mar.
ket to-day 50 %; extreme range Of prices
s. 00a7 95. Most oil the sales were from

SHEEP AND LGSiDs-Although there
has been largo proportionate increase
In the number Of sheep received during
the past week, as compared with previous
weeks arrivals, yet the demand Is fully
up TO the supply, having been quite &C
hive, and prices are about as they were last
week-some 400 head have been taken by
Washington butchers. We quote wool

in the receipts during the past week, but
the scarcity the previous week, and the
good demand for the last few days, have
Kept prices up 10 the standard Of last

Christmas at Suffolk has presented varied
scenes. The opening day was cold-ycry
cold. Only the Christian church was opened
for service, and Il small congregation assenl-
| blcd. The service was made interesting,
however, by the baptism Of a prominent
business luan of the town, thus publicly con-
Tossing the saviour.
| In the afternoon, Mrs. Susanna Jones, the
estimable wife of Marmaduke Jones, one OF
our leading merchants, WAS buried from her
husbands residence.
On the same day Seia Briggs, an old CO.
lorcd woman about eighty years of age, said
to have been the nurse of our distinguished
countyman, DR.. George w. Briggs, was
burned to death by her clothes accidentally
taking fire.
| At night, stormy as it was. the children ut
the BAPTIST church had 4 pleasant time around
Il Christmas tree.
Friday evening the Christian congregation
and Sabbath school assembled at the Suffolk
Collegiate Institute for social entertain
mcnt, over which the pastor presided. 4
beautiful silver goblet was presented by the
children to Major D. B. Dunbar, the super
intcndent Of the Sabbath school, and beau
! tifuI cup was presented to Mr.. Nirgiuius 5.
hlloS by ms Bible class. The first gift was
presented by the pastor of the church, and
the second by Rev. j. T. Whitley. The
recipients responded in fitting terms. Every.
thing sweet and good was spread before the
old and young ones, and many will rcmem.
ber the large bran pie full OF little presents.
which kept the whole company in n roar OF
laughter for half-hour.
