Sea Outlet for W, p. & g. Il. IL.

Considerable interest has arisen
| in Southern Maryland ovsr the rumors
that Col l.. NJ Shute, Of New York, is af'
tor the control of the proposed Drum
Point route AS we'll as the Washington
Potomac and Chesapeake Railroad
known as the Southern Maryland Rail
road The Drum Point Road has moi
been built, but the right of-way has prac
tically been cbta ined from Baltimore
down through Anne Arundel county to
to the southern end of St. Mary's. Mr.
Edward Lauterbach, of New York, holds
the controlling interest in the road, but
as vet be and Colonel Shute have not
been able to come to an agreement.
In the meantime the Southern Maryland
Road is arranging for an outlet to the
sea, and only within the last few days
have developments been anywhere nea.
satisfactory The road is now in opera
ton from Brandywine, in this county, on
the line of the Popes Creek Branch of
the Pennsylvania, over to Mechanicsville,
in St. Mary's county, distance Of 81
miles. The road has proved itself splen-
did investment. and, strange to say, is
owned by one man, Mr.. Henry V. Wat
son, of Philadelphia, who purchased it
about year ago at a foreclosure sale.
The road also has a right of-way into
Washington, almost in direct line from
Brandywine, distance of about IL miles,
but on account of some minor dispute
work has been necessarily stopped on this
portion of the road Several miles of the
proposed extention to Washington, at the
latter end, have been graded.
Within the past few days the entire
proposed route to the water front has
been changed, and now instead of the
road being extended from Mechanicsville
to Point Lookout, at the mouth Of the
Potomac River, it will be built a distance
of at least 20 miles, to Point Esperanza,
which is on this side of the Patuxent. op-
posite Drum Point. The owner of the
road believes that he can obtain az good
water facilities by erecting terminals at
the mouth of the Patuxent as he can by
running all the way to Point Lookout,
which would necessarily call for the bridg-
ing Of the PatuHent.
Point Esperarza is considered an ex-
cellent point as water front terminal,
and if the proposed Drum Point route
can be made certainty, with the
two roads conveying either at Drum
Point or Point Esperanza, Baltimore and
Washington would both be provided with
extra water terminal facilities, and that,
too, well down the Bay Baltimore

SHEEP-There was moderate run OF
sheep on the market this morning, thirty
seven cars, about 10000 head being re-
ported in up to noon. The receipts for the
day are about 5000 head larger than for
the first day of last week and about 5000
head larger than the run for the CORE
spending day last year, when 400 head of
sheep were received.
There was a moderate supply of fat sheep
on the market this morning and the de-
mand on the part of the packers was fairly
good, and as a result trade was active and
good choice fat sheep were selling readily
urday's close. The quality OF the stock re-
Ceived was somewhat better than has been
coming lately. A load of good killing lambs
was sold for 81, with prime western lambs
at S.25 and natives at $3.50. A load of
range wethers sold early in the day for
was in good condition and that prices were
In practically the same notches as at the
close OF last week. Later on the market
eased off considerable, closing lower.
The supply of feeding sheep onered on tne
market this morning was not very large
and the quality of some of the oneTings
was not what would be called strictly choice

CATTLE-There was a fairly liberal run
of cattle on the market this morning, zi'
cars about 600 head. being received up
to noon. AS compared with the run Tor
the first day of last week the receipts
were practically the same. The receipts
smaller by about LOO head. The quality
of the offering this morning was pretty
we'll divided The larger portion OF the
receipts consisted of stockers and feeders,
there being only a few scattering loads OF
beef steers and cows.
The supply OF beef steers on the market
was decidedly small There was fair
demand for beef cattle on the part of the
hackers and as "A result the trading was
active and prices were fully steady with
last weeks close 1t was expected that
the market here would be somewhat lower
today as there were large runs reported
at eastern points, with a considerable drop
in prices However, owing to the smali
run of beef cattle, the market at this point
remained steady.
There were only few scattering loads of
cows and heifers. The demand for good
choice cows made by the packers was fair
and trading was active The market on
this kind OF cattle was in practically the
same condition as that on beef cattle, ana

grade of stock sold at prices that were

the market on that kind of stock would be
