row will say: sS =. 3
with the unprecedented holiday bus
mess ended, transportation facilities are
more nearly adequate for regular require
ment Merchandise moves to consumers
more promptly, and in the iron region
there is less interruption to work because
OF insufficient fuel. Normal conditions
have by no means returned, however, and
it will be some time before shippers can
safely guarantee deliveries on a specified
date Buying of staple commodities Is on
a large scale, fully sustaining quotations
at high level, except in the few in-
stances where efforts were made to hold
prices above the point warranted by the
ratio Of needs to supplies. Labor contro-
versies are few and unimportant, while
the new year has brought advances In the
rate Of wages. at many points.
CONTRACTS HEAVY.
Holiday idleness, inventories and annual
overhaulings were all cut down to the
lowest possible limit at iron and steel
plants in the effort to meet urgent de-
mands from customers. Although rail-
ways largely augmented supplies OF roll-
ing stock during 1901. contracts for this
years delivery already aggregate many
months Of full capacity OF shops.
Activity continues at cotton mills, al
though domestic buying is on moderate
scale. Exporters are bidding freely for
heavy goods, but as a rule fall short of
holders views, and little new business is
recorded.
Reports of unfavorable weather in win
ter wheat regions stimulated prices. and
there was further support in the general
resumption of activity at flour mills to-
gether with added inquiry for foreign
account. az
Corn was fairly well held in sympathy
with wheat, but some soft spots devel-
ope6. as was natural, in view of the fact
that the price is now more than fifty per
cent. higher than a year ago. Cotton was
depressed by liberal receipts though for
eign conditions have improved. and the
quotation is almost so a bale lower than
at this time last year.
Failures for the week numbered 5i3 IN
the United States. against S24 last year,
and twenty-seven in Canada, against
thirty-seven last year.

DELEGATION FROM

WANT AN INSPECTION MADE
Special Dispatch 10 The .r.,nrs.l


WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. l0.-Repre-
sentative Jones secured for a delegation
from TanEier Island the first hearing be-
fore the Committee on Rivers ana tiar-
bors that has been given this session.
The del. ga.uon was composed of the Rev.
Mr.. Bounds and Messrs. j. w. Srigie
and e. J.. Crockett, and the Object of
their appearance before the committee
was TO have an inspection of the harpor
at Tangier Island ordered, with view
to the opening of a channel. TIE dele
cation was received most cordially by
the committee and both their arguments
and those presented in their behalf by
Mr.. Jones were listened TO most atten-
lively and 3 consideration OF them
promised.
AS stated BY the delegates before the
committee, the only landing-place they
have at present at Tangier Island is a
pier head, which is about 600 yards from
The island proper. Between this pier and
land the water is so shallow that at low
tide 1t is impossible to go to and fro.
From this difficulty it follows that all .ne
crabs and oysters with which the har-
Dor at the south end of the island abounds
have to be taken by the sail-boats 10
Crisfield, Nd, a distance Of twelve miles.
before they can be packed for Shipment
WELL PROTECTED.
The harbor in question opens only at
the east end, and is protected on the
nortl, by the island itself and on the
west and south by g sand-bar, SO that
vessels anchoring therein are sale from
storms coming from any quarter. rms
harbor is noted for its oysters and solt-
crats and is also an exceptionally inc
ice-aeld.
several Northern capitalists have e1-
rressed a desire TO establish flsh lac
tories and oyster packing and canning
,,Iante on the island If the channel can
be opened.
withstanding the present draw
hacks a great deal of fishing is done by
the inhabitants of the Tangier Island,
The commerce amounting last year to
quarter of million OF dollars. one
voting man, the Rev. Mr.. Bounds de-
clares, made sorty dollars week last
summer selling soft crabs TO the buyers
who took them to Crisfield for shipment
North. He sold the crabs at cent and
a cent and q half apiece, while the price
paid for them in the Northern markets
is from q dollar to a dollar and hall
q dozen.
The Tangier Island people feel that
the profits which go to the fish and
oyster factories in Maryland should come
to them, and this, they believe, will be
the case If a landing place upon the island
proper is secured, for then they will be
able to set up their own factories ana
ship direct TO the Northern markets.
They estimate the oostxo Of. The channel,
which VIII be about 400 yards long. to
be between fifteen and twenty thousand
dollars.
