The Grain Trade of Baltimore


The statistics of the commerce of Balti-
more, published this morning. present an
extraordinary aud at the same time crafty
ing incrt ase in the grain trade Of the city.
The entire receipts Of grain at the Corn and
Flour Exchange during the month Of Sep
TENDER were I, 149, 200 bushels, which is an
increase Of 686, 270 bushels over the same
period of 1870 There was shipped to for
eign ports during the month 221 $3.50 bush
els wheat and 1901 bushels corn, besides
32,082 barrels -four. This immense in
crease is mainly attributable to the opening
of the unbroken railroad communication
with St. Louis by the change Of gauge of
the Ohio and Mississippi road to that Of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and the trade is
expected to be fully sustained if not greatly
augmented by the erection of the immense
grain elevator on Locust Point, adjoining
the European piers, which is now nearly
finished. The Northern Central railway,
in connection with the Pennsylvania works,
also brings to this market large amounts of
grain from Chicago and other lake ports.-
The completion of the Pittsburg and Con.
nellsville railroad is also increasing rapidly
the trade here in petroleum. -Four vessels
cleared for European ports during the month,
loaded exclusively with petroleum, carrying
out an aggregate Of o70,362 gallons of the
fluid Baltimore Sun.
