DECLINE OF GRAIN EXPORT.
Comment Made Mt the RnEtimore
Chamber OF Commerce Meeting.

Comment Made Mt the Baltimore
Chamber OF Commerce Meeting.
BALTIMORE. Jan 29.-Prrsident J.
Hume Smith. at the annual meeting of
the Chamber Of Commerce yesterday,
closed hi soficial career of three years
continuous service as the head OF that
body. In his address the wonderful
achievements IL trade development OF the
past century were touched on by Mr..
Smith, who stated that the export trade
Of this country had grown to the enor-
nous figure Of STATS, coo, coo year
Reviewing the shrinkage in grain ex-
ports. he said:
Wheat, corn, and oats were produced
in large quantities, but ocean frieghts
were either scarce and high, or else weak,
with no chance to profit by such condi-
tions. export demand experiencing periods
of extreme depression. Hence. an irTegu-
lar. hating trade, not calculated to yield
the best results to those engaged in it,
and the total summary of our port neither
measures up 10 our expectations nor
keeps pace with the movement OF com
petIng markets.
The receipts of -four and grain al ;his
port during the year ended December y
1900, thus compared with like figures for
1898.

to the sales on stock and produce ex-
changes. and the meeting today was for
the purpose Of framing these modifica-
tiOns.
The committee spent the entire session
in discussing the proposition designed to
Increase the tax on stock and grain trans
actions by bucket shops. but was unable
to reach an agreement before the hour
for adjournment. The amendments VIII
probably be adopted at tOmOrrow's meet
ing and Chairman AIdrich looks for the
passage Of the bill by the Senate before
the end Of the week
Another proposition is that transfers Of
stocks which are bought outright and de-
livered be exempted from the present tax
while purely speculative transactions,
where stocks are bought or sold on mar
gins are TO bear the burdens
It is probable also that the paragraph
reducing the tax on manufactured tobacco
from y TO cents a pound wiz be modified
so as to provide that the holder of tax
paid tobacco may receive a rebate equal
TO the amount OF the reduction The tax
is paid when the tobacco is removed from
the factory. so that the stock in the hands
Of joDbeTs and dealers on the day the bill
takes effect would be worth cents q
pound less than at present. That this
loss viii not fall so heavily the commit
tee viii probably insert a provision for
the payment OF a rebate.

A PRINTING TELEGRAPH
Said to Have Been Sue
cesSfully Tested in Omaha.
The Sender Like Keyboard and
the Receiver Like n Carriage and
the Morse Alphabet Is Not Used.
To HevoIuffonize Existing Methods

OMAHA. Jan 29.-An event Of great i'm
portance to the scientific world was an
exhaustive and successful test. Just made
at the Western Union Telegraph Office
here. of the Pearne printing telegraph, an
apparatus which. It's inventors declare. is
destined to revolutonize all, existing meth
DDS Of transmission Of intelligence
The apparatus consists Of a sender and
a receiver. operated By electricity The
first is not unlike the keyboard Of q type
writer. and the latter resembles the car
rage and pIaten. An operator manipu-
lates the keyboard and the message is
transmitted over a wire any desired dis
lance and IS automatically printed on a
roll of paper by the receiver.
Electrical experience IS unnecessary Tor
the operator and there is no telegraph al
phabet to learn. Anyone who can operate
a typewriter is capable Of sending d mes
sage. The receiving is automatic. the
only attention required being that the rolls
OF paper are supplied when needed and the
receiver kept il working order. The cost
OF manufacture viii probably not exceed
that oE Z first-class typewriter.
The inventor was patented October Q.
1900, aad application for letters patent has
been made IN the more important foreign
countries.
Each letter is made BY a certain motion
or one OF nine fingers, each finger being
susceptible to four motions from as many
grades Of currents, supplied by storage
batteries at either end of the line. Thus
thirty-Siy separate motions are obtained
one for each letter of the alphabet. eight
for the figures not already contained in
the letters OF the alDha bet one for the
period and one for spacing.
This is according to the model machine
built for Mr.. Pearne under his direction at
a typewriter factory at Syracuse. TO which
place he went several weeks ago. Later
other models. with different keyboaris.
VIII be constructed
In the test made yesterday il was the
intention to use a l 600 mile wire. but a
rush Of business compelled the use Of the
Omaha Kansas City loop. comprising 434
miles Of wire Added to this was I2U miles
Of resistance, making total Of 554 miles
The test vas satisfactory i current OF
twenty-fOUr volts was used AT first but
was incTea- I'd to eighty-1ive volts when
messages were sent at fun speed The
significance of this lies in the fact that
the telegraph company uses 10 volts on
the Kansas City line alone the test thus
showing that the new apparatus can be
operated with less than half the power re
quired by the oId-styie telegraph
4 second long-distance test will be made
in the Western Union ofTlce. and the long
est available wire viii be used Frank y.
