Large Demand For Corn At Liver
pool.

A summary of the condition OF the
Liverpool market for breadstuffs is sup
piled the State Department by United
States Consul Boyle, at that place. The
imports into Liverpool from this country,
he says, probably will be on liberal
scale for some time, the estimate being
$4,000 to 10000 quarters weekly for some
months The demand for corn is large
and the imports into Liverpool during
the past year surpassed all previous rec
ords. The United States contributed
more than two-thirds of the whole. The
coming years demand upon the United
States is estimated at $4,000 to 10000
quarters weekly. The Liverpool trade,
the consul writes, complains of heavy
shortages in grain imports from the United
States. amounting at times to as much
as ) to per cent. This loss arises from
the practice of weighing the grain only
in the terminal elevator amd not directly
into the ship.

IN MIIMORIAM.

Died at her home, in Washington, on
September 21st, MARY EMILY, beloved
and only daughter of Louis E. and Mary
NJ Harkins.
Little Mary was taken with Il fearful
cold about four weeks ago, and was
brought to the country for her health.
Shortly after she returned home she was
taken ill and died. Her death was caused
by malaria fever and commissions Her
sweet smiles and cute sayings attracted
the attention Of all who saw her. She was
the pride of her home and the delight of
all her friends. Much sympathy is felt
for the grief stricken parents. Her loss is
grately lamented especially in her home.
But God knew that she was too young and
tender to bear the burdens of this world
of sorrow, and He called her home to join
the happy angels and her little sister who
passed away several months ago.
She is gone, our little darling
The one we tried to save;
Another precious little lamb
Is sheltered in the grave.
Greve not, fond parents,
The Lord knows best;
Your dear little Mary
Is now at rest A COUSIN.
