The new year finds the principal In
dustry OF this city. the Newport News
Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company,
with $14, 100000 worth Of work on hand
and an average weekly pay roll OF
$4,000. Although various other large
contracts are in view, the plant could
continue employing q force of about
5000 men for several years to come.
Probably the great weekly pay roll
of the shipyard is largely responsible
for the prosperous conditions in New

other cities have been affected by the
money market troubles All through
the worst OF the panic there was plenty
Of money to be had at all Of the local

Especial to The Tlmea-pispa,ch.l


BALTIMORE. MD. December 2s.-In
publishing in this weeks issue its an
nual detailed statement Of railroad
construction in the South, Oklahoma
and Missouri during 1907, the Manu-
facturers' Record says:
"rhe data thus gathered shows that
during 1907 there have been built in.
this section OF the country total of
3,331.l miles of line, or only about
seventy miles more than were built in
1906. It also shows that the probable
construction during 1905 is 3,531.3
miles, or about 900 miles less than
were projected for the year just ended.
The amount Of new construction to be
credited to the South for 1907. eXclud-
ing Missouri and Oklahoma. is 2,sS7.5
miles, and the amount to be built In
the South next year is 3,3SS.8 miles
In making up the estimates for 1907
figures for new corporations Which
have not begun construction are not
included, excepting In several instances
where the work is practically assured.
Some of the old companies also have
certain work proposed that has been
Indefinitely postponed on account of
financial conditions. and such construc-
ton is not noted.
"There is, indeed. much other work
contemplated that has been obliged to
wait for more favorable conditions
than are to be seen at present. or
which are in prospect for 1908. There
was only small amount of electric
railway construction during the year,
although one large project, that be-
tween Baltimore and Washington, is
completed, and another extensive en-
terprise, between Dallas and Sherman,
&c tn+sha pnenad r. Enrinp,
There are also some other important
pieces OF electric railway projected.
Louisiana Leads.
ut is a notable fact that Louisiana
leads the list of States this year with
the greatest amount of new track
$50 miles-TeXas, which has had first
place for several years, now taking
second place, her total being 460 miles.
Florida comes third with 322 miles,
North Carolina fourth with 264 miles
Virginia fifth with 254 miles. Missis-
lsippi sixth with 242 miles, Georgia
seventh with 2O1 miles, Oklahoma
with ITS miles, and Alabama tenth
| with 14a miles. There has been a no1a-
BILE Increase in construction in States
east OF the Alleghenies, and generally
there is a better distribution OF new
track among the States than was tbs
ease last year, when Texas was away
IN the lead with over 500 miles.

NO DUMPING GROUND FOR AMERICAN MEATS
An English Bill for Providing for the Inspection of Importations.

London. Aug. 2.-The bill introduced
 by John Burns. president of the local
 government board. enabling the board
 of trade to institute more stringent
 regulations flor the prevention of dan-
 ger arising to the public health from
 the importation. preparation, storage and distribution of articles of food ' passed its second reading in the house of commons today. In the course of the debate on the bill Mir. Burns ex- ilained that it empowered the authori- ties at all ports to inspect food i'm ports. take samples and destroy un- sound goods.
 It might be argued. Mir. Burns said. that since the recent timed meat ex- posures in England and elsewhere things had been put right but the gov ernment could not allow the laws to remain defective because there was a strong probability that matters would relapse to where they were before Continuing, Mir. Burns declared that he had received a report that the Ger man consul had said that the Ameri- can meat packers had informed his that they were willing to NSHTNHs tC hhN bisptCAiDu Ol meat provided that whatever goods the Ger man officials rejected should be re- turned to the packers. as they could be sold in the United Kingdom.
 The speaker said he was not going to allow that. and he did not see why the United Kingdom should take what ever Germany. France. Denmark and other Europeans would not accept.
