many the most promising young men Of
Southern Maryland seek their fortunes
in other places? Is il because they faA

ocean Trade Of the south.


The exports from ports available to
Southern trade are in touch with its m
land development. During 1899 and
1890 New Orleans increased its exports
from $50, 900, 900 to SS7 600. 900; Nor.
folk and Portsmouth from $40, $50, 600
to $4,000, 900 Baltimore made an
advance from S54 600, 900 to $65 ,O00.-
600. Galveston exceeds its record by
making a run from $40, 900, 900 to
SOB .000, 600, while Savannah, Will
mingten and Charleston make like ex-
hibit Of splendid advances. On the
other hand Boston and New York make
no very marked variations in their Sg-
ures, while Philadelphia notes remark
able increase from S2S.000,000 to
S34, 0C0, 600. These statistics forecast
the possibility Of New York and Boston
having to rely on the West for an in
crease in their foreign trade, the trend
of Southern expor,, being in the direc.
ton Of the nearest and most accessible
shipping points. We may anticipate in
the development of the American ma
rine that its heaviest quotations of trade
along The Southern seaboard will be
from contiguous and eontrbutory terri
tory. and t1e more decidedly SO when
our reciprocity treaties with the austral
republics Of the Western Hemisphere
are in operation. Brunswick and Mo-
bile will have heavy interests in the new
ocean trade, especially in the transport
of coal to Tampa. the West Indies and
.40Tr1uT7z. It beng proposed 70 run
thirteen liues Of steamers from these two
ports.

rVil eject OF this system is perfectly evi
dent to all who grow the weed or sell il
on the Baltimore market, aud yet is i
not strange that, with the experience d
years aud tue admitted losses under this
old fashioned system. the farmer should
SIT quietly down and soc the work Of a

IN the space Of a few days, when the

although the texture is remarkably good

ed to the people Of this country a new
market for our productions Under the
agreement made with Spain, Cuba will
exempt from charge most of onr raw and

grain and -four is greatly reduced, the
result is that it is confidently believe d
that Cuba will buy from us at least
500, 900 barrels of -four, which she now
purchases from SPAN. We will have a

A Frightful Runaway.

A frightful runaway occurred on Wash
ington avenue at $40 last evening, in
which lady by the name of Leek had a
narrow escape from death. The lady and
her brother obtained a horse and buggy
from Cory Brothers and were out for a
drive Mr.. Leek had an errand to do at
the Commercial Office and stopped there for
a few moments. After he had performed
his duty he returned to the buggy, and was
in the act of getting into 1t when the animal
became frightened and started to run.
Mr.. Leek endeavored to hold on to the
reins, but he was thrown to the ground
and was powerless to do so. The horse
went up the bench at Twenty-fifth street
and while turning the corner the buggy
was upset and the lady was thrown vio-
lently to the pavement She was picked
up and carried to the Reed hotel pharmacy
where she was given opiates TO ease the pain
she endured, and taken to her home between
Thirtieth and Thirty first streets on Adams
avenue. Her injuries were pronounced
by the doctors as not being of a serious ma.
ture. The horse was captured before the
vehicle was badly demolished.
