said that although the management OF
the railway is satisfied that the old
plan, as asked, would be more advan-
tageous, it is determined to withdraw
1t and substitute another plan. The
members of the management have no:
changed their minds. But they are
anxious to get 10 work. They wish TO
avoid opposition. although the opposi-
ton is due to misrepresentation. If
those who oppose the new pier could
see the conditions Alright they would
withdraw their opposition. They may
cause delay unduly. This is not the
best pier but considering the ultimate
benefit the north pier is the one TO
build. That is what should be had If

The new pier proposed by the Norfolk
and Western railway is north of the
present coal piers. 1t is to be midway
between the coal piers and the mer-
chandise warehouses OF the same road.
These stl -cturcs are about 200 feet
apart according to the blue print chart
which reporter for the Virginian- Pilot
examined yesterday afternoon.
Say. therefore. that the steel pier IS
feet high is TO feet wide, the distances
between the warehouses to the south
and the coal piers to the north will be
$50 each.
The new pier will extend to the Port
Nardens line, as the other piers do.
The new pier is to have three tracks.
Two OF these will be along the opposite
sides of the pier for dumping coal into
ships. while the track in the middle will
be used to shift the empty cars from
both tracks

Many Deer Killed.

The State Game Commission at
Harrisburg has heard from all parts
of the State concerning the game sea-
son, and is informed there were more
deer killed legally this year than In
many years, and, SO stringent has
been the enforcement the deer laws,
that there are many deer yet in the
woods, and they are consequently
multiplying. Attorney General Elkin
has given the Game Commission an
opinion on the law, in which he says
that all special acts conflicting with
the general game act have been re-
pealed, and the Pike county people
will have to quit killing deer out OF
season. The Commission has been
encouraging the establishing of local
Game Commissions, and proposes tc
hold meetings all over the State.

The Last Week In Business.

Dunn & Company's report Of the
past weeks business is as follows:
No news is not always good news.
New business for manufacturers this
year has been light in some branches,
aud much below the production last
month. 1t is perhaps too often fol-
gotten that industries start this year
with larger contracts ahead than ever
before, amp when half the work of the
whole year has been ordered in ad-
vance there cannot continue quite the
same activity in new buying. The
woolen manufacture has just opened
new season with the largest trans
actions ever known in single week,
it is said, but in almost all other lines
contracts previously booked would
make similar activity impossible. Yet
there is seen enough of hesitation
caused by advanced prices to make
inactivity trying. Distribution to
consumers throughout the country is
rapid and large, especially IN quarters
where it has been feared retailers were
overbuying, SO that there is strong
confidence in the future.
1t could not be expected that bust
ness would adjust itself without any
embarrassment to such a rise of
prices as has occurred. Early in De.
cember wool rose too high for prices
then obtainable for wooden goods, and
weeks of dullness followed. But quiet
buying of wool at considerable con-
concessions appeared more than a
week ago, and the material for goods
now SO heavily bought seems to have
been mainly secured in advance.
Transactions are now not large, but
more disposition to sell is reported.
The boot and shoe manufacture is re-
ceiving small orders, as jobbers pay
the price asked only for such limited
supplies as are needed for sorting, bu,
their urgency to receive goods hereto
fore ordered is marked, and shipments
from Boston have been 3So.o63 case:
