million pounds.
At South Boston something like 1J0.O0
pounds OF leaf tobacco are being marketed
weekly, and Its quality Is very much better
than that offered month or two since
which has brought the average price uT
lately to 101x or II cents per pound. Largt
breaks are expected during this week, but

tobacco were fairly heavy for some weeks

nearly all grades being steady Not many
farmers have yet begun to burn and pre-.
pare beds to seed for the coming crop. but
the probability is that next years acreage

BERTH FOR PRESIDENTS YACHT
Dock Will Be Deepened to Accommo-
date Mayhower.

A dock-excavating machine has been at
work at the Washington navy yard for
several days past deepening the berth at
which the u s. s. Mayfiower, the Presi-
dents yacht. generally lies while she is
here. About week ago, when the May
flower arrived from the north. she was
taken to the navy yard by one of the big
naval tugs and put in her berth. The tide
was low at the time. It was then determin-
ed to lay her off Alexandria while her berth
was being deepened. and she was swinging
at her anchor there when darkness set in
last night
Since the Mayfiower left the navy yard
last spring the water In her berth has
shoaled considerably. 1t is stated, there be-
Ing less than seventeen feet Of water there
at low tide, while the draft OF the ship is
eighteen feer. The dock will be dredged to
depth OF nineteen feet at low water, Civ
ing foot between the keel of the May
flower and the mud. even at the lowest
stages Of the tide.
