AND Buckeye Ele- and OUR GRAIN. Once pre Foreign Countries Seem to Be Hungry For It. A Striking Similarity to What For eign Tiade "Waq in 1879. There Is a Pressing Demand for 8hlppcrs and Evory' Vessel, Ileachlnc.Oar Ports -Finds a Cargo-Mu'nr Vessels Char ter ea' for I ho Winter nnd Spring Baltimobe, Oct 23. Tho Manufact urcrs.Recordof this week in tdviowlng business conditions says: Tho condition of ouf foreign trade at present is strikingly similar to whai it was In the summer and fall of 1879. Prior to that year tho average exports of wheat, flour included, for some years had been about 05,000,000 bush els a year, rising In 1878. to 02,000,000 bushels. But about this time tho European grain harv ests wero almost unprocedently short and for several years wo had a phenomenal foreign demand for wheat and corn. In 1870 tho exports of wheat and corn advanced to 147,000,000 bushels; in 1880 to 160,754,000 bushols, and in 1881 to 180,800,000 bushols. Un der this enormous European buying prices rose from 31.00, tho average ox port value in 1879, to 81.24 in 1B80, 81.11 la 1881, and 81.19 in 18S2. But for this unprecedented Europoan demand, that no ono foresaw the enormous wheat crops of thoso years would Inevitably havo brought ex tremely low prices. Making a comparison by five-year per cents tho valuo of tho wheat and flour exports for five years ended Juno 30, 1882, was 8800,872,462 against S317, 509,000 for tho preceding five years, a gain of over 8409,000,000. Tho increased value of corn exports for the same period was about 8200,000,000, making a total gain in grain exports in five years of 009,000,000 over tho preceding five years. This enormous increase in foreign exports completely changed all business conditions, burdened our seaports with vessels and resulted In great and unforseen importations of gold. Onco moro the world seems to bo hungry for our grain. A short supply In Europe and India has brought about an actlvo demand for wheat and corn. Not many months ago foreign ship owners were unable to find employ ment for their boats and hundreds of "ocean tramps" wero lying in British harbors. Now there is a pressing de mand for shippers and every vessel that can reach our ports finds a cargo. Chart ers havo been made for vessels cover ing tho entire winter and some cases lato into tho sprinjr. At Baltimore alone over ono hundred steamers have been chartered in advance of arrival to loud grain. This alone represents fully 13,000,000 bushels of craln, for which room has been engaged at this port At.evory other port on the At lantic and gulf coast the same thing is going on and the aggregate engage ments already made foot up over 50,000, OOO bushels. On tho Pacific coast the charters havo been proportionately heavy. Offers arc being considered for shipment from Atlantic ports to India and one charter is pending, if not al ready closed, for a steamer to load oats at New York for Calcutta. Tho Immenso grain exports of 1870 helped to give us tho boom of that year and it may possibly bo that the wonderful activity now seen In our exports will mark tho beginning of a general re vival in trade and a general riso in prices, just as was tho cuso in 1S79 and 1880.

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE Will .Unjoin tho Printing of tho Australian Ballot. Columbus, O., Oct 23. Chairman y". W. Durban and Secretary W. A. Taylor, of tho demnnrntio ntntn nnm. mlttce, notified B. F. Taylor, tho state supervisor of elections, Thursday night that they proposed to enjoin tho print ing of tho Australian ballot as ho haf certified it to the county boards in every county in the state, and that the probable result of thib would bo that tho ballots could not bo printed in time after the courts had passed on tho matter and the whole election, both state and national, In Ohio, would be prevented. Tho trouble grows out of tho refusal of tho stato supervisor to recall the ballot form and take off the name of W. F. Barr, tho sole populist candidate for elector, who resigned from the ticket Thursday. The supervisor holds that this matter has passed beyond his control, and that in many of tho coun-tio- tlu ballots havo been printed. Ho also ruled that the ballot could not be recalled to substitute a namo for that of W. IC Miller, a cousin of Maj. McKinley, republican candidate for elector, who is dying of paralysis. He holi that tho substitu tion must bo made by the uso of pasters. There is no provision for re moving a name, even by paster, where no name is to bo substituted.
