RAILROAD PROJECTs BEFORE THE LEGIsLA.
TURE.-TwO or three railroad projects are now
seeking a charter at the hands of the Legisa-
ture. We have heretofore mentioned one
the "Dover and Lewes & Rehoboth Railroad "
Mr. Ii. Morris Copeland, gentleman who has
been in the State for some time and engaged
in laying out the grounds for the RehObOth
Camp Meeting Association addressed large
meeting at Dover on Wednesday evening in an
elaborate and forcible argument in favor Of
this enterprise. lie predicted magnificent
future for Rehoboth and its Camp Meeting
enterprise, and proposes to build road from
Dover to Milford, and thence to Lewes, thus
cutting off the two angles at Harrington and
Georgetown, saving at least twenty-five miles,
and placing Lewes within three or at most
three and half hours of Philadelphia, by
express time.
The Baltimore, chesapeake & Delaware
Bay Railroad Company is the title of another
corporation whose charter passed the Senate
on Wednesday. This proposed road is to run
from Harrington to Love Point, on Kent
Island, and will there connect with a line of
steamers direct for Baltimore. This is the
successor of the Harrington and Queenstown
road which proved a fiasco few years ago,
and toward which certain appropriation was
made by the Legislature from the lottery fund
the same that the Milford Ne,cS has qu zzed
Senator salisbury so muclfabout.
A charter for IA railroad from Georgetown to
Berlin, Md, is also before the Legislature

pie are dead against the new project, and some
of them assert that it is not proposed in good

Baltimore Cattle Market.
THURSDAY, October 80, 1879


BEEF CATTLE-There has been a
considerable falling off in recei pts Of
Cattle this week, and prices at the
same time are 4@3c lower. The large
number of Cattle received last week
offered butchers the opportunity that
was very generally availed of, and they
bought freely then, many OF them hsv-
ing purchased enough to last over this
week this, with limited country de-
mand this week, rendered the market
very dull throughout, resulting in de-
cline in some cases Of our highest eeti-
mate above. The quality generally
was scarcely as good as last week,
though there were a few equally as
good tops" in market as then.
Prices to day tor Beef Cattle ranged
as follows: Best Beeves, at "a $40

the sales were from 4 81 TO % per
100 lbs. OF the receipts 332 head came
from Ohio, 1477 from Virginia, Oil
from West Virginia, 50 from Maryland,
90 from Penusylvania-total receipts for
the week $500 head, against 3,96S last
week, and 4,0l6 head same time last
wear. OF the offerings 994 head
were taken by Baltimore butchers, 923
sold to York county, pa and Carroll
county (Md) dealers, 276 head TO
Eastern speculators-total sales for
the week 2,l93 head against 1858 last
week, and 3l7S. head came time last
year.
SHEEP AND LAMBS-The mar
ket for sheep has been very dull during
the past week, and prices shade lower
with no immediate prospect OF any i'm
proyement-all this in the lace OF q
large percentage of decrease in the re-
ceipts. We quote fair to good sheep at
4@4Sc; good to extra at 42@5!c, and
a lot of extra heavy at SIC per ID gross.
Stock sheep very dull at 81 00@3 %
per head. Lambs 81 00@3 SO per head.
Receipts this week 2.400 head against

HOGS-The receipts this week, as
compared with last week, show con =
siderable diminution in numbers, but
the supply has been about equal to the
demand, and prices, which at one time
were little lower, have recovered, and
now stand as at the close last week,
with fair prospects jus; now for the best

The Louisville Ledger Of November

market during the past year. Con-
corning the month of October, it says ::
The financial disturbance which
commenced in New York and spread
with wonderful! rapidly over the coun-
try, has been specially disastrous 10 the
leaf tobacco trade, in its Oppressive ell
fects, bringing trar ssctiors almost to a
complete stand still. Prices for all
grades have declined, receipts have been
limited, and sales have been OF COM
paratively small importance.
