Mr.. Mark Young, which Is located above th

1t will be thus seen that the above enumerAte,
mills have facilities for manufacturing daily fron
], 500 to 1000 barrels Of -four, thereby requirin
from 1000 to 10, 900 bushels Of wheat per day I
keep them In operation. The bulk Of this graf
is received by way Of the Chesapeake and Obi
canal, but great deal also comes by wagon fror
the neighboring counties Of Montgomery an
Prince George, Md but the supplies are not al
ways sufficient, and the millers are compelled I
seek other sources ordering large quantities fror
the New York and Baltimore markets Parmsrl
therefore, will see the importance Of Georgetow,
as q grain market; and as prices hero general
rule high, they would save both money and tim
by bringing wheat, corn and other grain here
instead Of shipping to Baltimore and other dii
tant markets.
