Baltimore Cattle Market.
THURSDAY, Sept. 4, lS7:

BEEF CATTrE.-The market has been somew hat
ver.supplied this week, but ii has been chiefly
owing to the heavy arrivals of such as rot
considered first class butcher cattle, which have
been in good demand at former rates, while the
Others have suffered shade decline, owing to
the unwillingness of feeders and gr0zers 10 pay
the prices. Altogether the market has exhibited
a trife more activity than last week with n cor
responding depression of figures in the grades so
referred TO above.
Prices to-day for Beef Cattle ranged as fol-
lows Best Beeves at 3 25GGS6 5O-that gen
orally rated first quality 2j(d}S5 % medium
or good fair quality 75@S4 %; ordinary thin
Steers, Oxen and Cows 75G9S3 75 inferior
and lowest grades Of Cattle 0 100000 OO-gen-
eral average of the market to-day 81 so; ex-
IRENE range of prices 2 75@S6 80. Most of
the sales were from 90 TO S. % r 100 lbs.
OF the receipts 302 head came from Ohio, 4sS
from Virginia, 257 from West Virginia, and
80 from Maryland-total receipts for the week
were 2ls7 head against 1851 head last week
and 2G0O head the same time last year OF the
offerings 1912 head were taken by Baltimore
butchers, - head sold TO Washington city
and country dealers, 596 to York county, Pa,
dealers, and 227 head to Eastern SPECTATORS
total sales for the week l9Gs head, against Goa
last week, and 2O7q head same time last year.
SHEEP AND LANES The arrivals this week fall
considerably short Of the number received last
week and few Of them were Sheep OF a good
quality good butchers Sheen are in good de-
mand, as well as good stockers and Lambs, but
they are all scarce. Feeders and stockers are
chiefly called for by the Pennsy lvania dealers,
who have been we'll represented in the market
We quote common 10 fair Sheep at 4G,5c, and
good to exta 5GD5{ cents, the latter would com
mand cents per 10 gross. Stock Sheep 2 5OC1
81 90 per head. Lambs at 2 OOGS4 90 per
head. Receipts this week 5l45 head, against
1912 last week, and 1869 head same time last
year.
Hoes There have been quite .ll receipts this
N u no los md
This, with the large numbers holding over, have
caused prices 10 give way l6sc per ID as com
pared with previous figures. The demand has
been fair at our quotations Prices at present
next anticipation when any change in figures
occurs, which will probably be next week. We
now quote corn-fed Hogs at 6 5OGS7, sillers

RETURN OF JOIN 4. KERSEY.-Johu A Ker-
ney, the young Cumberland merchant, whose
mysterious disappearance from New York in The
carly part Of last month has been the subject of
much remark in this city, arrived b ONE on the
seven . clock train ftom the West yesterday
morning.
Mr. kerney states that he was drugged in
New York by some parties unknown and sbduct-
ed to Chicago by railway. lie remembers no tn
ing of it, he says, except being led or rather
dragged across depot platform into car. On
the way or after arriving at Chicago he was rob =
bed of nearly all the money upon his person Ca.
bout 81 ,00O)-a small amount Of cash and a
draft of over 900 escaping the mott ce or search
Of his abductors. At Chi cago before he had time
to recover from the effects of the stupe:action he
was redrugged aud taken thence by rail and wa =
ter to the Rio Grande region, where he found
himself one morning, to his great establishment
engaged III herding cattle. He left there at once
and made his way 10 Fort Union, from which
point he wrote and te!egraphed home. Before
leaving Fort Union he anxiously awaited the
receipt of a telegram from home, but, strange 10
state, the dispat ch sent by Mrs Kerney did not
reach him, through failure Of communication
perhaps. lie waited a reasonable time, and then
started for Cumberland, coming through as ra-
pidly the iron horse could bring him.
MIR Kerney has evidently had a rough time of
it; looks careworn, and was considerably IA
tigued with his journey. We hope to soon see
him in wonted health, and again actively enga-
eed in busn ess.- Cumberland Ne,cs, SEPT. 8.
