More Inhunan Butcheries in the
McCOy-HatfieId Feud.

A Charleston wv. Va dispatch says: The
climax has at last been reached in the inhu-
man record OF butcheries that have made the
bloody feud between the Hatfields, of Logan
County, w. Va. and the McCoys, of Pike
County, KY, the most revolving record of
crime ever known in these regions. Word
has Just reached here that on Thursday night
last a raid was made by the Hatfield gang on
the house of Sim Mccoy, brother of Ran
dali n cCOy, whose house uad been burned sew
eral weeks ago. and a number of his family
killed. Determined this time to wipe out the
balance of the Mccoy tribe, the Hatfield
butchers surrounded the house in great num-
bers during the night and proceeded to storm
out Mccoy and his family. They first
secured the wife of Mccoy, whom they led
to tree aud securely bound with ropes. BY
her side they placed her eldest son and
riddled them both with buckshot, while the
father was covered with revOlvers by the
other part of the gang. This part of the
inhuman programme over they next placed
Sim Mccoy and his two Youngest children in
the house fastened them securely TO prevent
escape, and deliberately burned them TO
ashes III their home.
No arrests have been made, for the victO-
riOus HatfieidS are strongly barricadcd in
mountain fortress in the wilds of West Eir
ginia and would make short work of a
SberiffS posse.
This bloody feud. which seems to have
ended with the determination of the McCOys,
root and branch, began several years ago,
when one of the Hatfields had a fatal en-
counter with a Mccoy on the Kentucky side
of the river. 4 Hatfield was stabbed, and
his relatives swOopad down on the McCoys
took them captiveS and held them prisoners
until Ellison Hatfield. who they had stabbed,
died, when the HatfeldS conveyed the three
Mccoy boys 10 the scene of the altercat lOn.
stripped them tied them 70 paw-paw bush,
shot them TO death, and left their bodies in
that position.

volume of trade is almost universally unsatis-
, factory, but unfavorable weather is in most
cases accepted as the chief cause, and some
improvement is reported. In Oregon and
South Carolina exceptional reports represent
trade letter than that of last year. The ten
dercy of prices has been downward, both for
securities and for products. Cotton and SUI
gar do not gain. Iron is very irregular since

The improvement in crop prospects is decided.
While the loss in winter wheat will still be
large, a marked increase in acreage of spring
wheat is reported, with favoring weather of

where the winters injury was greatest. The
effect upon the markets has been important.
Wheat has fallen d cents, corn 81 and oats a
fraction; hogs 25 and lard 80 cents per 100
pounds, and oil =. Ct cents. Cotton remains
steady, and speculation has lifted coffee a
quarter. Butter is in large supply and has
fallen cents; eggs are lower, and an enor-
nous glut of vegetables has demoralized the
market almost beyond precedent. Tea is still
dull, with no change at auction, and the gro
Gerry trade as whole lacks the buoyancy
usual at this season. A slight Improvement
in grain freights to 14d. for wheat to Liver

''The wholesale grocers of the United States,

any plan which will enable both wholesale

which will defray the cost of doing business,

STANTON. Va, June 18th. {
Markets for grain, hay and produce general
ly are without special features. The most no.
ticeable thing of interest is the decline of
wheat III the West and consequently in Eastern
cities. Notwithstanding the fact is established
beyond question, that the growing crop is an
exceedingly poor one in the principal wheat
States, yet the price in Chicago and Baltimore
has declined about cents per bushel in the
last ten days, and 1t is thought that it will go
still lower. In our home market there is no
quotable change, the quantity Offering is SO
small that it does not affect prices 1t is taken
by home millers who need it to carry them
through the remaining months of the season.
Corn is few cents lower, and oats have de-
clined in same ratio Hay holds its own.
There are signs of weakness, however, in the
cities. Very likely the decline will be rapid and
deep about the time the new hay crop comes
into market. There are but few old crops left
We see that Mr.. Samuel Hunter is delivering
his this week, at Staunton, and Mr. Peter
Wine is hauling to Fishersville. Wool is COM
ing in moderately and is selling at "a cents
for good lots of unwashed. There is not much
demand from manufacturers, who are waiting
to see what Congress will do about the tariff
on wool.
Special kilograms to Bradstreets do not re
cord any material improvement in the course
of general trade during the week. The most
encouraging feature is in the somewhat I'M
expected activity and development of miscel-
laneous industries in New England. The
movement of dry goods at Western cities is
relatively more active than at Eastern produc-
ing centers. Crop prospects have continued
to improve.
The New England boot and shoe shops are
fairly well employed on orders. The sales of
heavy goods this season have been highly sat
isfactory. Few buyers are now in the market,
most of the orders for fall delivery having
been placed.
Business in dry goods at the east has been
of moderate proportions, but plain cottons are
firm, some of them at an advance. Some
mills are running on orders sufficient to keep
them busy for several weeks. Wooden goods
are dull. Print cloths are encouragingly
strong.
Rio coffee showed wide and frequent chang
es for future, with serious depression in the
later months. The market has rallied since
with notable strength for May, owing to the
heavy short account for that month. Advi-
ces from primary sugar markets have favored
holders.
Cash wheat has declined since Friday last
from SHE. to 924c., corn from 66c. to Csc. and
635c., and oats &c. to &c. Flour has declined
10c. to 15c. per barrel. Lard is 81 points
lower and dull.
