 of the Baltimore Custom House for .\ugust

 xpansion in the move-

 as compared with the corresponding month of lOl."! will not excite sur- 

 prise. The remarkable feature of the exhibit is that the recession should 

 have been no greater than It is, amounting to only about 50 per cent, 

 when It might have Iir.-n far .ji.nf swo.'ping. The shipments of oak

As Indicating the extent of the export movement for September It Is 

 instructive to take the shipments on one steamer which left Baltimore 

 tor Liverpool. This vessel had aboard 22!) pieces of white oak plank, 

 aggregating 17,700 feet, and 192,468 feet of oak lumber, in addition t.. 

 7,344 pieces of walnut lumber. a;,'s;ri.i;atinj; MA'5 feet. At that rat.- it 

 would not take many vessi-Is i.. Mini; il- L.tal of oak lumber .'xprirted 

 up to the volume for Au;,'n i i' uiier carried not less than 



210,168 feet of oak. Four si. i; i i !. iving about the same quan- 



tity of oak, would make up ih s4s imi i i,.ot, which constitutes thr 

 record for August. All of the steamers h-aving for British, Scotch and 

 Irish ports take lumber and logs, and the business may he expected 

 to expand.
