Mr. Z. II. Pearson. the manager of the Vir-
ginla brick company. which is located on the
virginia side of the river. said that he did not
mink that the cutting off of the canal facilities
would nave very much effect upon the building
interests. The materials brought over the
canal are not much cheaper than when trans
ported on the railroad The canal authori-
ties. he said, have all along been complain
ing that they could not compete with the rail-
road rates. and so the latter are probably quite
reasonable. Unless there is n monopoly and adj
vantage is taken Of that fact IL don't look forward
10 any increase in the prices. Coal, suppose,
Will be dearer. although have no information
as to that Just now it can't be had at all. but
probably next week a supply will begin to come
In over the railroads. The brickmakers on the
Virginia side are just now dependent on the
railroad company. They are in hope that the
road over the Long bridge will be repaired. At
present they have long haul over the Aque-
duct bridge. There has been no advance in
the price of bricks so far, and have not heard
that there is to be. Our company is just now
refusing orders. as we are going to look out for
our regular customers"
Mr.. W. c. Morrison. the builder said that he
did not see how the abandonment of the canal
would effect the building interests of the city.
Everything, he said. that comes from upper
Maryland can be procured in other directions
and IN many cases at more favorable rates.
Even when the canal was i'll operation a good
deal of the cement. &C.. was brought to the
city by rail. He thought that the Georgetown
milling interests would be affected for time.
but when railroad was built the mills would
be IN better condition than when the canal
was being used
King d Emmons. builders. thought that there
would be slight increase in the cost of build
ing materials, but it would be SO slight as not
to be materially felt There would they
thought. be some delay in getting bricks and
coal. but in the course of few weeks that diff
fcultv would be adjusted
