REVIEW OF THE
BALTIMORE MARKET,
(AND INCIDENTS CONNECTED THEREwITH,)
For the IYeek ending Lnst eren1ng.


REMARKS.--We are still compelled in truth to
say, that we can perceive no improvement in any
spect in the general market of our ctv and although
it in reality does not alleviate our condition. it tends
mitigate in idea TO have the same avowal made as
pertaining to the character of all other markets.
The announcement by telegraph of the arrival Of
the steamer America last Saturday, at Boston,
with Ia days later adviccs from Liverpool, produced
a momcntary start Monday in some articles of
Produce, but soon after the mail arrived on Monday
and letters and accounts investigated, prices
settled down again to their former level.
AMERICAN DRY GOODS.--Busncss, though
gradually Stacking off, continues still to exhibit
animation, particularly with Jobbcrs.
EESWAX.-Thc supply continues light and
enquiries making.
BREAD.-With the continuance Of very fair
demand prices for Crackers, Pilot Biscuit and Navy
Bread remain steady at quotations
prices, and all denominations, particularly City
Mould Tallow for export, in fair request
COFFEE.-The stock Of all descriptions is low,
that of Rio not exceeding probably 5000 bags in first
hands, and there III Of Java which arrived
Thursday. The only sales of the week comprise
about 1900 bags Rio at 7ba7s cts. per lbs and by
auction Thursday, 1929 bags Laguayra AT 64a7..

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT AND MANA
GERS OF THE
SUSQUEHANNA AND TIDE WATER CANAL,
SUBMITTED AT THE MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS,
MAY STH, 1913.
To The Stockholders Of the SuSquehanna Canal Co.:
1t becomes the duty Of the President and Managers
again to present to the Stockholders their Annual
Report.
The work under their charge is in good order and
is efficiently performing the purpose for which it was
constructed. Time and continued care have added
to the permanence OF the cmbankmcnts, and the other
portions of the work have been put into substantial re-
pair. Along the line there several points of en-
tlrely artificial construction, the preservation and re-
pair of which necessarily involve constant expense
in each year, and a considerable outlay interv ais
of several years An expenditure of the latter class
has been in part made during the past year and will
be continued through the present one; this, with
more than usual repair locks, for the larger
amount now charged than heretofore to expenses Of
the line. The trade OF the last year has exceeded
that of the largest previous receipt for like period,
by the sum of S2l ,469.3S. This receipt would have
been considerably augmented but for the freshcts
which occurred about the middle of October, and so
injured the line of State works above own as 10
deprye us of six weeks of the most profitable trade.
This circumstance the Board hope will prove to be
only deferment of receipts, and not loss of them.
Since each passing year shews steadily increas-
ing prosperity on the part ofhe Company, and gives
ust ground for the belief that the day is distant
when il shall be enabled TO pay interest upon its
cost the Board deem the present occasion not an in
appropriate call the attention OF the Stockholders
TO the general condition of the Company with a
view 10 such remodeng Of its affairs as, in its i'm
proved prospects, its interests may require by a
glance of the statement accompanying this report 1t
will be that upon an actual capital oiony mi l.
lion and quarter, the Company undertook work
which cost three millions and half of dollars. For
the difference between the Capital of the Company
and the cost of the work, the bonds and notes OF
the Company were issued, on part OF which money

French RepubIic-Tities of the Diplomatic
Agents.

Republican and Democratic Governments have no
need in their diplomatic relations with foreign pow
Of the prestige Of titles Of any great display of
pre- cminence at foreign courts The moral authori-
ty Of their agents abroad is in the of the nation
which they represent. Their display consists in sim
pcity their rank is in their title; their dignity is in
the respect which they inspire, and in the respect
which they testify TO the governments and nations to
which they are sent. The French republic cannot
too soon bring back to these principles the system Of
diplomatic representation. The uniform smplica-
ton OF the titles of its agents ought be- at the
time, characteristic sign of its republican nature,
and measure of economy, by the reduction of the
salaries appropriated to these high superfuities of
the diplomatic body.

that the Treaty, such as it is, will be
submitted by the President to the Sen

tionings Representatives, the Lesisla-
ture could not divide a county, and as
sign part oil a county to one Represent
%tative district, and part to another?-
Mr.. c. said he did mean 10 be SO un-
deystood; the Representatives must be
'apportioned among the several coun-
ties as counties--entire and undivided
counties. A county could not form a
part Of two Representative districts for
Representatives, unless in the case OF
a new county,"
Now the foregoing is all wing authority, and can
be found in the wing State Journal, of January,
1876. 1t establishes conclusively that the wings
then took the position that a county could not be
divided; yet now, for base party purposes Hamil-
ton county must be divided. To resist this viola
ton of the Constitution the Is democratic Sena-
tors left their seats, and for that act they will be
sustained by the people of the State.
1t was ascertained beyond doubt that at the last
annual election the democrats had a majority in
the State of over fifteen hundred. But by the APP.
portionment the wings have the power in the pres
ent legislature and to perpetuate that accidental
power they are using the Infamous means we have
been detailing.
The avowed object of the wings in dividing the
county of Hamilton was an al!edged disparity Of
interest between the city and county. If this be
true why did they not make tho entire city one
district in place of attaching some of the wards to
the county? The reason is obvious--the entire
city gives a democratic majority, whereas the
eight wards constituting one district give a wing
majority! Was ever such bare-faced injustice at
tempted 10 be palmed on free people!
