CONDITION OF TRADE.
"Bradstreets" says:


The unfavOrable turn given the general indus
trial situation by the strike of anthracite coal
miners and the possibility of wages disputes in the
iron trade with rather less activity in the latter
industry. and some increase of weakness in the
prices Of cruder forms, have given appearance
of irregularity the general trade and business
situation. On the other hand, the of staple
prices has been very generally upward this week;
fall distribution OF drygoods. clothing. hats and
millinery has been of large volume at nearly all
markets: there is a decidedly better tone noted in
the boot and shoe and kindred trades. and the
strength of cotton goods, though apparently in
excess of that shown by the material. has
been regarded indicative of confidence the
part of manufacturers Bank CearingS reflect the
expansion of fall trade in further gain in volume
but the stagnant condition of speculation. particu-
larly in stocks precludeS any important gain over
recent years. Gross railway earnings continue 10
show gains last autumnS heavy business but
net returns point much of this being used up in
increased cost of operating. Bank cleariugs assre-
gate 81 369 sol 173. a gain of per cent over last

many histories and tourists have sazed at
it with reverent eyes. 1t is pretty Old, OF
course, but Roife and Pocahontas both had
been dust for half a century before it was
built. Bishop Meade gives the correct his
tory OF il. The original church, q rude log
structure, was built about 1906. and was
damaged by fire a year later. Il was re-
paired but Captain John Smiths swash-
bucklers were not of a church-go3ng sort,
and when Lord De-la-War arrived in 1Glc,
he found the log chapel ruined and unfre-
quented ~ few years later the people
built a church Of hewn timber, fifty feet
in length by twenty in width. and here in
July, 1913, the first Legislature assembly
in North America convened.
No such ed:lice OF any kind was built at
jamestown until 1910 and the church OF
which the iyy-ciad ruin still standing was
q part was not built until about 1853. In
somuch as Pocahontas died in 1917, the
fact that she could not have been married
in this church is evident enough. In fact,
it IS merely suppositiOn that she was mar
ried at jamestown al al. Lady Francis
Berkeley is buried in the graveyard near
by. Almost all the graYestoneS have been
clipped by reltc-hunlers. At the edge OF
the river, scarcely visible above The Wa
ter's edge, are a few brick and masonry,
all that remains of the old powder maya
dations of the old houses may still be
seen outcropping from the ground, but
these are all that remain OF the old town.
Just below the island the river W.dens

of Newport News, Norfolk and Ports

regiments-two of twelve companies each
and one OF ten companies The Rich
mond Blues are unalterably opposed TO
being attached TO any regiment unless
it be in time OF war. When the Blues
We're reorganiZea they We're promised
main a separate and distinct organiza-
ton. In case of certain conditions arts
ing, the Blues would be attached to the
ten-comDany regiment.
The Newport News companies are
anxious that the Blues go into a regf-
ment with them. in order that the two
companies at Newport News and the
two companies of Blues may form a
battalion.
There are not as yet enough companies
to form three regiments. but there are
several being organized.
