The office of road inquiry of the Depart
ment of Agriculture has completed an
interesting investigation relating TO the
common roads of the United States. Re
turns have been received from about L.
200 counties, showing the average length
of haul from farms to markets or ship
ping points to be twelve miles. the average
weight of load for two horses 2.O02
pounds. the average cost per ton per mile
- cents and SO for the entire haul. Els
timating the farm products ut 219,S2i,-
221 tons in weight and making estimates
on other articles carried over the public
roads. it il calculated that the aggre-
gate expense of this transportation in the
United States is S946. 414.66j per an
mum. Reports have been asked from the
United States consuls abroad of the eX-
pense of hauling where the roads are
good so as to render possible calculation
which will show how much of this vast
outlay is due to bad roads. The estimate
is ventured, however. upon information
in the office concerning the loss of time
in reaching markets. the enforced idle
ness and the wear and tear 10 the live
stock and hauling machinery caused by
poor roads. that twO-thirds of the cost
might be saved by an Improvement of the

proved, though there is little change ex-
cept in the shrinkage of prices. which a
period of inaction naturally causes. At
ter the extraordinary buying of the sum
mer and early fall marked decrease was
inevitable, and it is yet too early in
most branches of business to Judge how
far the future was anticipated in pur-
chases. Retail stocks are still reported
full in nearly al, branches, with delayed
distribution in many on account of I'M
favorable weather The movement of
crops is only fair, both cotton and wheat
being largely kept back in the hope of
higher prices. and there is a prevalent
feeling that foreign imports will fall off. !"

A NOTABLE CHANGE OF VENUE.

The case of MIR. Gold-Brck- Red-Aus
lin-Parker-Smith has been removed from
the Hastings Court TO the Henrico Coun-
ty Court and that distinguished scientist
in swinding is now in Sheriff Solomon S
hands.
The question has been asked over and
over gain. Why was this change made?
The jurisdiction of the Hastings and the
County Courts is concurrent, the swind-
ling was done in both the city and the
county-begun in one, completed in the
other-one and the same transaction.
We know that Judge Wickham and the
Henrico juries are sternly set against
criminals, and that all the machinery
for holding a prisoner safely and prose-
cutting him thoroughly is complete in
Henrico. Then why the transfer? If that
man Parker escapes punishment, except
after a full and fair trial and by YER
dict of acquittal, there will be a deep
searching into hidden things.
We are utterly at less 10 offer even
any plausible suggestion of a reason
why the change of venue should have
been made, and therefore neither make
charge nor inuendo against any one
concerned, but " hen ii is said that Par
ker's friends are full-fanded with cash,
which they will spend freely 10 secure the
release of their pal" every step in the
proceedings is very noticeable.
