Grain in Mexico.

Grain dealers In Baltimore have been
somewhat surprised of late by the demand
for corn for shipment to Mexico This
week one house was approached with an
offer for 25O.NO bushels. which it was
obliged to decline, as it did not have that
amount on hand. 1t is said that corn is
selling in the two states mentioned below
4 $3.50 bushel in Mexican silver. or SIS
in good money. and though the freight
rates are very high. yet the corn can be
landed there at handsome profit.
Some time ago the Mexican government
removed it's import duties on corn for the
two states of Vera Cruz and Tamaulpas.
for the reason that scarcity of that grain
in those sections threatened a famine. The
previous duty was one cent per kilo Mex
lean money!. The permission to import corn
free of duty is to continue only until Oc-
tober l next.
AS a result of the short crop in Mexico
and tn, removal of the duty, there has
been heavy movement of corn from this
country to the two Mexican states Just
mentioned. One steamship company has
already carried 100000 bushels. and it was
estimated by patty conversant with the
business that in the two months of August
and September 1.!O.OO bushels will have
been shipped. An idea of the increase in
the movement can be gained from a COM
parison with the shipment to Mexico dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 70. 1885.
which aggregated 1,67I .6sIS bushels for the
entire country. or but slightly more than
the above estimate of two months ship
ment to two provinces. The total ship
| ments for the year ending June 30, 1885,
Were but 1851 bushels.
The corn has been shipped principally
from gulf ports, and the greater portion of
1t from Mobile. There have also been some
shipments from New York and Baltimore.
The reason why the grain has gone via
Mobile, instead of New Orleans or Calves
ton. is chiefly that the railroads into Mobile
have been giving lower rates on grain. The
port expenses are also considerably less
| than at New Orleans.
! The present movement is. 1t is said.
largely a speculative one, as much of the
| corn has heen bought with the intention of
| holding it until after the duty has been re-
stored when it can be sold at advanced
| prices.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
A Long Trip Taken Through the Yellow

and Especial Interest.

Mr. and Mrs. George W. King returned
home last evening after a tour covering
about 1903 miles. through Yellowstone Ma
tional Park and a number of other places.
coming home via Niagara Falls. In the
tour the party visited Wyoming, Montana.
North and South Dakota. the Yellowstone
Park, and a tour of Lake Superior. Lake
Huron. Lake Erie and Lake ST. Clair. Mr..
and Mrs. King were accompanied on the
trip by a party of forty, in which Mr.. and
Mrs. Birch and sen of this place were men,
bers. A very enjoyable trip was spent by
all.
In this trip and over the lakes the party
visited the mining towns, especially the
large copper district near Lake Superior,
and came in contact with the miners. stage
drivers, cowboys and all classes of people.
The party endeavored to get a true Senti-
ment of the feeling with reference to the
silver question. 1t was found that in the
last four weeks spent among this class of
people the change of sentiment politically
had been wonderful. Where they had for
merly been on an average of ten silver
men, there could not now he found more
than three or four. and this was not among
the politicians, and those who have OBJ
ject in changing political faith, but among
| the non-political individuals. This is be-
lieved to be true sentiment at the present
time.
Mr.. King reported that the corn crop this
year in the west is enormous. and is selling
at an average of about s cents bushe!.
Oats are scarce, and will probably be high.
The apple crop in western New York is
greater than that ever known before, and
| thousands Of bushels going to destruc-
| ton for the want OF a market. The party
was sent out in special train under thu.

and the equipments and arrangements were
| perfect in every respect.
While in Yellowstone National Park the
| party had the pleasure of seeing the giant
geyser in operation, virtually Niagara Falls
