Great Demand For Grain.

The grain trade during the year has
been, in many respects, one OF the
mast remarkable in a long series OF
wears, according to grain men. The
demand has been extraordinary. There
was fair crop of wheat, supplement-
ed by fair reserves; large crop OF corn
with considerable old corn remaining
on which to do business, and railroads
were not pushed to the degree to move
freight experienced in recent years.
One of the most singular features OF
the trade has been the small movement
Of corn from contiguous territory, such
az Maryland and Virginia. In former
wears the receipt Of this description
of corn have been an important FACTOR
and furnished the basis for consider
able activity. This year, owing TO tne
Grain the movement so far has been SO
small as to challenge the record. In
fact it does not seem that there Will De
anv increase until later on in new year,
when cold weather and drying conol-
lions may enable the holders to marker
their Grain with some assurance that II
will pass grade.
Grain dealers say there seems every
reason to anticipate fair trade next
year.

Grip Still Spreads Fast.

Not since 1890 has Baltimore been in
the grasp of such an epidemic of grip
as that which prevails. In numerous
cases whole families are i'll with the
disease, and it is spreading with great
rapidity.
Doctors and druggists are being over
worked. AS the cases are not report
ed to the Health Department, as are
contagious diseases, it is impossible to
ascertain the number of cases in the
city, but Health Commissioner Bosley
said Monday he believed that between
5000 and 100000 persons in the city
have had it or have it now.
The physicians If the Health Depart
ment are unable to give general line
of treatment for the disease. This is
mostly due to the fact that it affects it's
victims differently. In some people it
attacks the nervous system, while in
others it attacks the digestive organs.
DR.. Bosley warns everybody suffering
with the disease to go at once and
summon the family physician. If the
disease is not checked there is a posi-
billy Of pneumonia developing. DR..
Bosley says he has mum Der of patients
suffering with the malady and that two
of them have developed pneumonia
In describing precautions against con-
tra hn No1o
every effort should to taken to guard
against catching cold. He advises
Baltimoreans to keep their feet dry and
not to cool off too suddenly after being
in a perspiration. Every effort should
| be made to keep out of drafts. Grip
germs cannot catch hold unless its
victim has cold.
Only by long siege of cold, clear
weather, said Dr. Bosley, will the cpl
| demic be checked.
A number f persons make the mis-
take that after once having the disease
| they are immune from future attacks
II proper care is not taken, anybody
may catch the disease. One of the bes
preventives against the disease is plenty
Of exercise and fresh air.
A number Of city officials are suffer

elm other words, we find this crop to
be $40 hogsheads of fine tobacco, selling
at from / to 10 cents; AGO hogsheads
of medium TOBACCO, selling at to II
bacco, selling at from to 9 cents, or,
say, 2 per cent. fine, 8 per cent. medium
and 80 per cent. common.
Taking quantity and quality togeth
er, this is probably the poorest crop
ever shipped to Baltimore from South
ern Maryland. Analysis of the record
of the grades covering the one sixth of
the crop has yielded the percentages l
have applied as above to the entire
crop.
Further study of these records will
throw more light on the whole situa
ton, and we may depend on it that
many conclusions will be reached valu
able alike to our growers and to those
who represent them in the Legislature
Tobacco growing in many parts OF
the United States Is regarded as very
profitable, and even in Maryland it is
found to be satisfactory under condi'
tions that are fair. One grower told
me of sale of two hogsheads at Is
cents on the Baltimore market, and IN.
other grower obtained 1900 pounds OF
excellent quality from less than one
acre Of land. These are extreme cases
but compared with our present crop
records some idea may be had Of what
yet to be done in the way Of raisine
our average of quality, yield and price
In the basic work of the grading bu
reau lies the foundation Of healthy
condition in this industry. A complete
classification and record Of the crop i:
the only mirror that will reflect the en-
tire image and enable the grower to SET
the relative proportions of it's parts"
