BALTIMORE, Sept, 1885 P. NJ.
The amount ofbuSineSs The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Tor the month of August will prove most
satisfactory. The reguh'r meeting of the Direc-
tots to report upon the Nliairs of the Company,
will not take place until the l4th inst. 1t is
known, however, that the months receipts will
be from so, 600 20 $4,000 over the month of Ju
ly, which would ma the total about $4,000
for the month, being nearly $4,000 more than ev.
er received i'll any one month. This argues well,
and shows mist satisfactorily for the future. When
I very hot weather ceases and the Fall transtor-
ting business and travel fairly commences the re-
ceipts of this great work wilt largely increase be-
you'd anything yet anticipated.
Quite large business has been done here with
in the past few days in the principal articles of
our markut. 1t is estimated that not less than a
haItmiltion of dollars have been put into acton
in the purchase of flour, grain, sugar, coffee and
tobacco. Nearly thirty thousand bbIS. of flour
alone have been purchased, mostly for immediate
shipnen, to Europz. One ship is soon to sail for
Liverpool with. seventy thousand bushels of wheat.
The fact that most of the flour and grain recently
purchased, has been on European account, may
tend to keep prices up and market firmer than 1t
otherwise would be. The unexpected advance
in breadstufTs has caused much excitement. TIL e
Indications, however, are that this advance can
not be maintained, unless the accounts from Eu-
rope continue favorable, thing not altogether
certain. Spectators are busily at work and 1t
would not surprise me to hear ofsome being cor
nered npon a notvery distant renction.
Tn. - -, has also riyan
great frmness 10 this market, causing an advance
Of to II cts per pound. There is now an active
demand with sales of some COCO bags of Rio at II
alI4j closing firm to-day ct the latter figures.
The wet weather has operated somewhat against
political movements. The democrats have about
fifty aspranis in the field for the Legislature, two
thEis Of whom are young in experience, irrespon-
sibe and ignorant upstairs who are more fitting tor
the nursery and GRANDMOTHER Bib,' than the
legislative halls. tits a lamentable fact that the
standard OF legislative Office has become so low
tina. men of talent and responsibility are unwilling
oaccePt the Office. parcel of uulettered boys
will doubtless get the nomination.
The wings have not yet nominated Legislative
ticket and the hope is they will not. Arrayed
firgly against the democrats they mnst, of course,
oe dedicated, but II the temperance ticket were lac
only opposition, and the wings support it, will
many others inclined to do SO it would undoubt'
e'ily be elected
We have had series of very hot days. The
thermometer is now up 10 81. Several persons
have been sun-struck and overcome with heat.

Baltimore is good. In fact the list Of mortality is
smaller than usual. No epidem;cs Of any kind.
