The Canned Goods Market,

The Baltimore TRADE offers the following
advice to packers of canned goods:
at is to be hoped that the packers through
out the country will dismiss any idea of pack.
ing to hold for extra fine profits, but will Sc
cure the goods when they can see reasonable
return from them; will sell when they have an
offer that will guarantee that profit, and will
stop packing when prices drop to cost. They
can rest assured that great profits are not for
them whilst there are so many country Gamers
with light means, and SO many heavy jobbers
watching them, whose goods thus make the
market. The greater the amount of goods sold
above cost to first buyers, the steadier will be
the market, and this is of all things desirable
We can count, during the coming year, on
cheaper bread-on reduced cost Of living in all
lines, and it can not be expected that canned
goods will 60 to fancy prices. Tomatoes at
S1.0O fol- the next eight months would be as
good thing as the packer can expect, and we
believe they will bring that price iffeverishness
can be kept out of them"
The Baltimore Gamer and Grocer also has
the following to say:
1.-THE recent advance in tomatoes is very en-
couraging to the packers of Hartford county.
While the price has not yet reached cost, it is
possible that it may before long go beyond that
point and pay to holders q profit on their last
years pack. The immediate benefit of the bet
ter prices, however, will not accrue to the pack
ers as general thing, but to the spectators in
whose hands the goods now are. The improy-
ed prices are not the result of any imitation, but
come from the legitimate demand of the trade
and will in all probability be permanent
"Harford county this season will not be in
position to depress even the most bullsh mar
ket, as her output will be at least 40 per cent.
short of that of last season.
THAT Hartford county does not make the mar
ket for tomatoes is an axiom that our New
York friends are fond of repeating But it is
fact generally observed, that when her crop is
Unexpectedly large there is a certain heaviness
in prices When the crop is unexpectedly short,
1t is fair to look for corresponding buoyancy
in the market"

Second District Congressional COnven.
ton

The second district Democratic COMPRESSION
al convention, after casting 1853 Intellectual
ballots, at Elkton, last week, adjourned to
meet at Barnum's Hotel, Baltimore, on
Thursday, August 18th.
On Wednesday night preceding the con-
vention large gathering of Democrats from
the several counties composing the district
was held at Barnum's Hotel, but up to a late
hour no solution of the difficulty had been
reached. The pre- eminent claims of Hartford
to the nomination were openly admitted or
not controverted, but the delegates from
Baltimore county manifested an intention to
force the nomination of Mr.. Talbot. The
assertion that one of the Hartford delegates
intended to give vote to Mr.. Talbot,
thereby securing his nomination. was indig.
nantly denied. The delegates held that the
claims of Hartford being SO great, they could
not even indulge in complimentary vote
for candidate from any other county than
their own, and representing the wishes of
the Democrats of their county they must con-
tinue to support Mr.. Hopkins. The names
OF Col. John Carroll Walsh, Col. Herman
Stump, Hon. Henry d. Farnandis and Hon.
Henry w. Archer, of Hartford, were spoken
OF as dark horses, either of whom might be
nominated, in the event of the withdrawal of
MIR. Hopkins; but of this there was not, on
Wednesday night, the slightest probability
Among those present from Hartford were
Messrs. VIM. Young, John s. Dallam, Muir.

On Saturday evening, March 18th, 1888, at
about O'Clock, an earthquake shock was dis.
tinctly felt through Hartford and Baltimore
counties. In Bel Air many persons heard a

a heavily loaded wagon rolling over the paved

beneath them. The earthquake characteristics
were undoubted. The phenomena were OBJ
served through a section of eight or nine miles
wide, extending through the middle of Hartford
county, from southeast to northwest, from the

The tremor of the earth was plainly felt
in some portions of Baltimore city. Two dis
tinct shocks were observed
At Macungia, Pa, the earthquake caused a
panic in church and the congregation fled pre-
cipitately from the building.
In Philadelphia it lasted ten seconds The
strongest buildings in the city were shaken,
rickety chimneyss toppled over on the roofs and
parts of the city. Plaster fell from ceilings of
houses, chinaware ratified in the closets, door
bells began ringing, glasses clinked lively
tune upon sideboards, and clocks were set to
running down. In some instances people were
Frustrated upon the floors of their dwellings,
Nervous people were frightened to such an ex-
tent that many thought the destruction of the
world was at hand, Everywhere the populace
became excited Large steamers We're dashed
against the wharves and ships parted their
hawsers and came near being driven ashore
Huge waves overlooked the wharves, deluging
people with water.
In New York passengers on the street cars
say the vehicles were moved up and down as
though on the waves of the sea. Tall houses
were rocked to and fro, and many persons were
badly frightened.

OUR NEW PRESS, Last week The 1Egss
was printed for the first time on our new
Campbell press. The Improvement in the
appearance of the paper was, perhaps, not
perceptibe to any but practical printers,
but this week everything about the press
has been better adjusted, and our readers
will join US in admiring its neat, clean
Typography. The new press is similar
to the old one, which did good service for
many years, and has now gone back TO the
factory from whence it came to be rebuilt and
take its place agan in some other printing
office. After long experience with the Camp
bell press we have no doubt that for country
printers it is the very best press made 1t is
exceedingly simple, not likely to get out of
order, and if it should do SO, it is easily re-
paired, can be used for any kind of printing,
and can be run AT speed of from 800 to
1900 an hour, by hand, steam or horse pow
err. Our press is run by horse power.
