rious capacities such as watchmen,
gate keepers, and officers at the fair
grounds for the week amounted to
S161. .55. In view of the fact, suggested
by Treasurer GreenWald, that these
laboring men were entitled to receive
their money as soon as possible the
committee ordered warrants drawn at
once.
c. W. Kouns, A. w. Dana and A. K.
Wilson were appointed to audit all
claims and accounts. This committee
met this morning at o'clock at the Of
flee of the secretary of the committee
and proceeded with the consideration
of the bills.
They will report to the general meet
ing of the Committee of Fifteen Thurs
day night.
When the fair grounds payroll was
being considered Secretary Swayze
said:
There is one claim of IS cents in
there which if the man comes after it
I will have him arrested"
The opposition of the secretary lies
in the fact that d. A. Shaw. formerly
employed by the City Railway com
pany operated the gate, which he was
hired to tend, for revenue himself. He
let people in the grounds for any price
he could get from ten cents to twenty
five cents each, putting the money in
his pocket according to the charge
against him.
that reason it is hardly probable that
he will claim the 15 cents due for ser
vices.
Grote and Ellison who contracted to
pay $18OO for the privileges for the
week have paid 81, 500 of the amount
but they hope to have the committee
release them from the remainder of the
obligation because they were compelled
to admit a large number of wagons,
teams and individuals, which were not
provided for in the contract, free.
Under the regular schedule of prices
the free transportation into the grounds
for vehicles and people amounted to
S507 60. This amount is shown in an
itemized bill which the two men filed
with the committee. This was simply
filed to show the justice of the request
to be released from the remainder of
the obligation for the privileges. Pro
vision for such was not made in the
contract but the owners of the privil-
eges for the week claim to have con-
ceded favors which they should have
been paid for to that amount, to the
committee, mainly to Major Anderson
who was in charge of the fair grounds

According 10 tho Baltimore Mnnufac-

from the United States in 1896 were 1885,
5lS.iH bushels, as against 81. 1853 500 bush
els In 1895, Il gain of G71O0,000 bushels,
OF which Go,000,0o0 bushels was The gain
at Southern ports. New Orleans made a
gain Of 1G500,000 bushels. Galveston,
100000 bushels, Newport News $500 600
and Norfolk $500, 900 bushels. The total
value OF all exports from the United
States for the first eleven months Of 1896
was SSSS,GG0,415, an increase Of Sl5G, 3O0,-
oDo over the corresponding period Of 1896
y little over one-half Of this total gain.
or $IS.600,000, was at Southern ports.
Tie percentage Of increase at Southern
ports was 81 per cent, while the gain at
all other United States ports was only
Is per cent.
This is gratifying exhibit of the
Increase OF this class of trade from
Southern ports, and no doubt the figures
OF 1897 will be still more so when they
are compiled.

JEALOUS OF SOUTHERN ronrS.

One Of the best evidences that tho
increase or business at the Southern
ports has begun TO hc felt by the ports
at the North OF us, is found in the fact
that the Chambers of Commerce of Bos-
ton. New York and PHILADELPHIA have
complained to the British Board OF
Trade that those ports are Disseminated
against in favor of baltimore. Norfolk
and Newport News, lnasmuch as Rrltisl|
vessels from Southern ports are allowed
70 load deeper than al the ports OF the
North.
The Baltimore News. In referring 70
the action Of the Chambers Of Commerce
as above explained. characteriZes it as
an evidence OF enmity on the part OF
the Northern ports, and adds:
The difference Is tr;tlinc in tho
amount of cargo taken, ana is ONLY
IN effect from October to April,
from time immemorial vessels from
southern ports have been allowed to
load deeper than from, those Of the
NORTH and 10 complaint has been
made. Just now the shipping traffic
or the ports OF Baltimore, Norfolk
and Newport News is the despair of
the entire Atlantic coast, and that is
why 50 many unliind and unjust
things are being said about u.s."
That's right contemporary. but let

getting the business and what's more
the indications are that they will con-
tinuc TO do so.
