II is said that the freights out of
Baltimore were never so light as they
have been since Christmas. One of
the Old Bay Line boats went down the
bay the other day with only a few tons
of freight-not drop in the bucket
to the smallest amount of former
days-and several other boats have
been discontinued on Maryland waters
during the winter as well as the POGO
moke. Our people appreciate the
Pocomoke, but they do not expect the
b., c. & A. to run their boats at loss,
and we hope when the boat starts
again she will carry heavy freight
both ways.
