BALTIMORE SEES
Loss OF TRADE
Proposed Crisheld Boat
Line Causes Stir Among
Marylanders
BETTER FACILITIES
THE ONLY REMEDY

o BALTIMORE. Jan. 2s-Baltimore
commission merchants handling pro-
duce. fish and oysters from the West
ern Shore OF Virginia say that un-
doubtedly their business will be in
iured by the steamer line which the
Baltimore. Chesapeake and Atlantic
Railway Company will start in May
between Crisheld ard Western Shore
points. They hold that II will open
to northern markets a fertile farm
ing and dairying country which for
merly has had its chief outlet
through Baltimore.
The men handling white and sweet
potatoes will feel this more than
those handling fish and oysters, they
say. since a large portion of the sea-
food catch already is being taken
across the bay to the Crisfeld gate
way
There is one difficulty which some
merchants point out may for a while
stand in the way OF diverting this
trafnc-the fact that farmers OF the
Western Shore have not learned yet
to pack their crops properly Tor
northern markets. Il is generally
admitted. however. that the farmers
soon will learn to overcome this
handicap. although Baltimore COM
mission merchants do not intend to
help them. However. the fact that
! produce Is not always well packed
for southern markets was deprecated
by one commission man.
"The fact that produce Is 20 poorly
packed for the Baltimore market is
one of.the things that is running IT,.
he said. Il believe the move Of the
+ Pennsylvania Railroad in starting
this boat line may indirectly be a
good thing for us. because II will
bring us more sircctly into competi-
tion with Philadelphia and New York
markets and may cause us to i'm
-prove some OF our methods. There
is no reason why produce should not
come as we'll packed to Baltimore AZ
. nywhere else"
Just what effect the boat. which
/, will operate with Crlsheld as a base

They pointed out that Eastern Shor'

a. S. Goldsborough, secretary o
: the Merchants and Manufacturers

merchants in that much produc
now coming into Baltimore prob
ably would he sent north through
Crsheld. He said Baltimore woul'
lose a large trade with a rich terri
tory which IS likely to become still
richer in the future. He said he wa
informed that il the experiment wit
the Northern, Neck Of Virgini
proved successful the boat line wa
