A Scheme to Remove ii to Some

One of the members of the house said
to he Interested in this move is Congress
man Knowles, of South Dakota. Whether
or not there is any legitimate reason for
associating that preventative with the
others interested in the transfer, it is n
fact that he visited Newport News Sat
urday, January s, and remained in the
city until the following night. He spent
sunday in inspecting the Waterfront
from the ship.yard to II point several
miles below the city on the roads.
1t is also learned that several naval
officers visited the city some weeks ago
and looked the ground over, presumably
with the purpose of noting the alvun
tages of this section as site for the
Naval Academy. Your correspondent is
informed that the proposed appropria.
ton of $4,000, 900 to be urged for the re.
construction of most of the buildings
now doing service at Annapolis led up to
the proposition to have the Academy
moved to more suitable location.
The advantages of this vicinity for the
Naval Academy are many. The pres.

are now building and more are likely to
lie built, the fact that this is the coalinp

ACTIVELY IN BUSINESS.
Previous Records Surpassed in the
Prices of Staples.

New York, Jan. 1.-Bradstreet'; to-
morrow will say:
The large measure of activity In bust
ness and industrial lines with, in some
instances, previous records surpassed and
very general steadiness in the prices of
staples, are perhaps the most, notable
features of the trade situation this week.
The quotations of cereals show most ag-
gresstve strength, while, those of some
makes of pig iron betray more decided
weakness than week ago. The mild
weather is frequently mentioned as an
influence to check the retail distribution
of seasonable goods, chiefly because of it's
eject on the country roads,
The spring trade opens slowly, as usual
this time of year, bntconfidence is still un-
impaired. The immense current produc.
tion OF pig iron. amounting to fully l ,OOO,-
600 tons per month, has begun to exercise
"n Influence upon the price of that staple,
b"t the decreases reported are still only
fractional.
The outlook in the steel rail trade is re-
ported as llattering. Large orders for
railroad account already booked Fave
been int reased Within the week, an ex-
ample of this being furnished by the
sales of $4,000 tons reported from Chi
cago at full prices.
Higher prices for wool abroad, based
partly on the short yield reports, are re-
iiected in the firmness of the domestic
quotations, although the demand, while
comparing we'll with the preceding years,
is smaller than it was in 1896, when the
tariff changes were anticipated
The industrial situation, with the sin
gle exception of the cotton industry
shows exceptional strength. AS yet, the
strikes in this branch of the trade, how
ever, are largely confined TO Massachu-
sets.
