place, has not diminished any, and a large
number OF persons are daily taken off,
Another dispatch announces that the fever

Governor Island. The malady was at first
thought to be cholera. and to guard against
possible contagIon, communication between
the island and New York and BROOKLYN was
cut off-the workmen employed on the island
being given homes there.

THE PROGRESS OF BALTIMORE.

Here are some commercial statistics, which
90 to show that Baltimore is going forward
rapidly The Gazette says:
notwithstanding the extreme dullness of trade
which has prevailed last year it is gratifying how
ever, to note the steady advance which Baltimore
is making as great Southern commercial centre.
Nothing shows this more plainly than the state
ment of the amount of duties received at the Bati-
more Gust om House. For the year 1868 it was
ST. 919 $50; for the year 1854 2,167 100; for the
yoa 1865 s. 9S3, ,2O2 and for the year 1866 it had
increased to the large sum of 81 665 O64. For the
current year. the duties received up to October 1st
are 81 4707 $50, against S., ,4S5571 for the same
period last year, at which rates OF increase the
total amount OF duties up to December 31st will be
nearly Sc, 900 600, far larger amount Of customs
than has been before received at this port and
one which represents an importation OF merchan-
disc to the extent Of about s125OO, 600, in gold,
nearly quadruple the Importation OF 1862 which
amounted to So 466 458, and more than double that
of 1865, which amounted to s6,211, ,257. These are
interesting figures. They need little comment,
and they are worthy Of eful study, not only by
those who have the interests OF Baltimore at heart
but by all those who really desire to see in Balti-
more great emporium for the supply OF foreign
goods"
"Ir looking down the list Of imports we find that
there have been imported 194, ,284 bags Rio coffee
as AGAINST 1876 199 bags during tho same period last
u
has been most important coffee market, and, with
its charging commerce and improving facilities,
will no doubt maintain its position as SUCH"
By way of explanation we would state that
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company re-
ceive cargoes of coffee in their cars at Locust
Point Depot deep water) and transport same
to Cincinnati at GO cents per sack-thus recog-
nizing the right of any merchant in the great
West to use Baltimore as his port of entry.
Baltimore merchants, Of course, object and say
all sort of hard things about the Road, but
Baltimore keeps on growing in size.
"In guano the importation has been, so far 35 4O1
tons as against Il, 1896 tons last year. In LIE Plata
hides it has been a. 112 as against 19 5S8 last year.
In molssses it has been 22,421 hhds. as against
1851 last year, caused principally by the increasing

demand for this article by our Baltimore sugar
houses, which are now extensively engaged in re-
fning sugar from molasses.
Why do cargoes of guano and molasscs pass
within sight of the light houses of Charleston
.harbor and go six hundred miles beyond to
Baltimore
''Thore is another branch Of business which
shows a considerable increase and promises to be-
come most important one. This is the cotton
trade There have already been imported into this
port 2S, ,141 bales as against 1891 in the same
period last Year. The total importations for the
year will probably reach Is 900 bales the greater
part of which will be consumed at home. The ex.
port Of cotton this year will hardly exceed 75Oo
