WASHINGTON, October e2.-The re-

sion, which will be made to the Presi-

mend the adoption by Congress OF the

which has ever been proposed. 1t will
involve the expenditure of more than
s200,000,O00. almost rivaling In cost
the Panama Canal.
Two great schemes. one for the de-
velopment OF the Lakes to- the-Gulf5

Danyille va 0cfnher 40 1


Danvile. Va. October 90. 1907
Owing to unfavorable weather the receipts
we're not as large the past week they
would have been otherwise The quality
has been OF good medium character. with
an absence Of low grades and good to fine
wrappers. Up to the present the quantity
and quality OF good to fine wrappers has
beer disa ppointment. We had been led to
believe that there was larger proportion
thar has appeared In the breaks so far. The
demand continues very active on all grades.
with the big corporations strong competi-
tors amongst themselves. and leaving very
little for the independents and other buy
ers. who are disposed to buy. but not at pre-
vailing prices. While prices are considered
high they are generally thought to be justi-
ned by the situation. and no material de-
cline is anticipated under any circumstances.
There has been good deal of trading this
week in redr!ed stocks, both in old and new.
and some quite large transactions have been
consummated. and others are being negoti-
ated at advanced prices over "a few days
