LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Week of Fair Trade with No Material
Change in Values

On the wholesale streets and Commission
row the past week there was fair volume
OF business transacted and at steady prices
although at a low range. Especially is this
remark applicable to fruits, vegetables poui-
try. eggs. butter. provisions and. In fact all
kinds OF produce. The larger towns and cities
OF the State have been more liberal purchas-
ers OF produce-fruits and vegetab.es-for
some time. and this has helped matters. But
the commission men must sell immense
quantities OF such goods to realize any profit,
so low are prices. The seed market Is dull
and prices unchanged Hide market is more
active and prices firmer. Wool is fairly ac-
tive. but wool OF the best grades is selling

Egg Inspection.

BY holding an egg up between tn 2
eye and the light an expert can at
once tell the purpose for which it is
particularly adapted and promptly
pronounced as to its destiny.
There is the egg which exhibits a
small cloud floating in an orange
sea. This egg finds it's way to a
humble saloon and is beaten up
into ssgolden hzz" to soothe tie
weary palate OF the retired politi-
clan.
Again there is the egg which
shows a galaxy Of crimson stars, IN
timating that the industrious hen
that laid it is suffering from the
heat and needs rest. This egg finds
its way to the quiet restaurant,
whittier the sign, s.Mea1s five
CENTS" beguiles the hungry wan
derer.
A third egg shows a dark, solid
body surrounded by vapory liquid.
It aoounds in the generous barrel
houses, whose motto is, can egg or
clam with every drink" and
where the gay and careless reveIer
says, s'You spoke late," when the
hapless chicken squeaks at the mo-
ment of deglutition.
A fourth egg, light in weight and
Of sickly green complexion,
sprinkled with dark blotches, is
popular at political meetings where
the audience is not quite in har-
mony with the speaker.
But above all there is the honest,
fawless, unexceptionablee egg proud
ly laid upon fresh straw by kind
and wholesome hen. This is the
legitimate egg Of commerce that
makes the whole world happy every
morning. -Souther Farm.

An Old Soldiers Recon- enda
ton.

In the late war 1 was a soldier in
the First Maryland Volunteers,
Company G.. During my term of
service l contracted chronic diar-
rhea. Since then 1 have used a
great amount Of medicine, but when
l found any that would give me re-
lief it would injure my stomach, IN
til Chamberlain's Chollc Cholera
and Diarrhcea Remedy was brought
to my notice. 1 used it and will
say it is the only remedy that gave
me permanent relief and no bad re-
suits follow. l take pleasure in
recommending this preparation to
all of my old comrades, who, while
giving their services to their coun-
try, contracted this dreadful disease
as l did, from eating unwholesome
and uncooked food. Yours truly,
