Corn and Flour Exchange in Baltimore
Friday "Notice is hereby given that
on and after the 9Th day of December,
1880, the rate of extra storage on wheat at
the elevators of the Baltimore Il Ohio
railroad at Locust Point shall be 3I6ths
of l cent per bushel for five days or parts
of the same, and p cents per bushel for
each and every 10 DAYS thereafter or parts
of the same" The officers of the company
say the object of the notice is simply to
prevent blockade of wheat in the
elevators and in several Thousand cars at
Baltimore, thus ensuring steady and
regular flow of wheat from the West, and
avoiding lookup at that point.
