TIE COLLECTORS OFFIcE.-As was
stated in yesterdays Gazette, the
Treasury Department has taken up the
question of removing the Office of the
collector of internal revenue of this
district from Lynchburg to Alexandria,
and Mr.. Agnew will do all in his pow.
er to secure this removal. 1t is said
that both Senator Daniel and Con.
gresham Otey, of Lynchburg, will op.
pose the change. Alexandria people
think it is but natural for Mr.. Otey to
take this stand, but say that as Senator
Daniel represents the entire State he
should take no side in the controversy.
Collector Agnew has been notified that
Mr.. Otey and delegation from Lynch
burg will appear before the revenue
commissioner some day this week to
oppose the change, and it is proposed
tLat Congressman Rixey, of this dis.
trict, and strong delegation of Alex
andrians should appear at the same
time and meet the Lynchburgers and
urge the claims of Alexandra for hay.
ing the office moved to this city.

Chicago, Dec. 6.-Every sign in the
financial and commercial world indi-
Gates that not only is the improve
ment already attained to be perma-
nent. but also that the near future
will witness still further and mightier
strides on the path of prosperity.
At this season of the year, and es-
pecially on the eve of the session of
congress in which financial affairs,
the tariff and our relations with other
natious are to be discussed and acted
upon it is only natural that there
should be a declining tendency in
the price of securities which might be
affected by action on any of the sub
jects named, but at the present time
an exactly opposite condition obtains.
On the New York Exch ange to-day
the price of all good stocks had a
sharp advance, which shows that
shrewd buyers are on the long side
with the idea of anticipating the flu
ture course of the market, and that
they believe it will go much higher.
