Despite the Continued Rain, OF
fcrings on the Richmond Mar
ket Have Been Good.
ExPEc 7 LAR E REC lPTs NOW
With Good Season for Handling,
More Tobacco Of High Grades
Will Come In. u

: Despite the execrable weather which
has been visited upon the city during
tho last week the last few. days have
been. rs far as the sales Of tobacco
have been concerned. very much as the
dealers had predicted. Tho sales for
Friday alone. which was tho biggest
day OF the week, were something like
125,OOO pounds. The highest price re-
sceived during the week was $3.50. and
all grades have averaged from s. La
to 1-2 cents per pound.
The deluge, which has boon falling
for the last few days, has. OF course,
had a bad effect on tho local market
and tho sales have been smaller than
they would otherwise have been for
the time. The fine season for the
farmer is, however, just what the
dealers have been looking for, and
they think this week will be a. record
breaker. They still hold out tho most
promising prospects for the farmer
and think that the receipts for this
week will BIO perhaps the largest OF
the season.
The warehouse people arc convinced
that in spite of the small acreage the
total weight OF the crop for the sea-
son will be heavier than when the
usual amount was planted.

Messrs a. ]. Miller & Sons, OF Clifton

walks in Blacksburg. are getting on. as
well with the work as the weather will
permit What they have been able
to do shows that the now walks are
OF the very best. both In material used
and workmanship. The Councilkof the
town, since the contract was first
made. has decided to continue the new
walk along the east side of Main
Street to the one leading to the
depot, and thence west to the Ecorpo-
ration limits. Also to pave the south
end of Roanoke Street to its terminus
at the Baptist Church and in hesnorth
end OF town. from Main along the
street leading to the Luther Memorial
Church. The estimated cost OF the new
walks exceeds $1,000: property owners
paying half.

is entirely too low-the known avail
able supply Of ores in the Lake region
would be exhausted in that time. On
such q limited. time as this Is the iron
and steel business Of Pittsburg and
the Lake region founded. SO far as
knowledge of ore supplies now goes.
+ ANY extension Of its life beyond
that period must depend upon the dis
icovery Of; new sources of supply not
now known Of or else the Stacking
up of the iron and steel business IN
the East in order to lengthen the life
of its ore reserves. In either case the
situation becomes intensely interesting
for the South. In the worlds con-
sumption iof4 iron and steel there Will
iba no Stacking up. so far as can now
be SEEM except for temporary, periods.
1t is. likely to double in the next ten
years. as it has doubled In every ten
year period for half century. BY
1916 or 1917 we must be making at
least 50,OO0,O00 tons of iron instead OF
25,O0O.0O0 or. 26,000,00O tons now.

the future stability of the Northern
Iron interests, or else a. very large
proportion of the increase demanded
by the growth of the country must
be provided by the South. And
when we come to the Southern situa-
ton, we find a marvellous condition.
According to Mr. Eckel's report to the
Geological Survey. Alabama. Georgia,
Tennessee and Virginia. counting only
to the 1,0O0-foot level. have a. minimum
OF workable ores OF 2,500,000,00 tons,
or considerably more than tho Lake
Superior district; but counting the
deeper levels. and ore is already being
mined In Birmingham much below the
1000 foot level. Mr.. Eckel estimates
that 1t is fair to assume that the total
Southern orc reserve will amount to
very nearly 1o.00Oo00.00O tons. or five
times that credited to the Lake. Supc-
rlor region. Though n considerable
lpart. OF that quantity Is Of low grade
ore, which will not for the present be
In demand, it is still a. source OF supply
for the. distant future. Omitting this
hover grade of ore, and counting only
to the 1,O00-foot level. there Is stun
a known available supply of ore in
tho Central South far beyond the
known supply of tho Lake Superior
district, thus furnishing foundation

DANNILEt;, VA, November a.
Messrs. Dibrell Brothers give this re-
view OF the Danville tobacco market
for the week:
The weather this week has been very
good for the handling of tobacco. and
as a consequence sales have been very
large. The quality of the offerings
showing up consist very largely OF
medium to good cutting tobaccos, with
a small proportion of fineacutters and
wrappers. and also n small proportion
of the commoner grades of tobacco.
Prices remain steady, although the
number of buyers actively engaged Just
now are small. tho larger part of tho
tobacco being taken by tho largo to-
#bacco companies. The tendency of the
market, however, under the pressure
or heavy receipts, is weaker. II heavy
receipts should continue, and thcre be
no change In monetary conditions. we
look for much easier prices. a slut In
tho tobacco market now would mean
a sharp decline In values.
Thereis. hut little trading inlllogs-
head lots. Only a few lots have heen
reported as changing hands in tho last
week. s ji8f53. Il y =

row TO take up the demand of business in

freight rates to that city from the east.
Inc case Involves some important points
to be determined and the investigation
may result in complete change in the

Rates from New York to Spokane are
now made by adding to the rate to Port
iand or Seattle the local rate from one
OF those ports 30 Spokane. The rates from
Chicago to Spokane. in most cases are the
same as from New York The railroads
are confronted with the task of justifying
those rates before the Interstate commerce
commission, their argument being that
they are forced to meet the water rates
to Pacific coast points and that these
rates are too low.
Two years ago the commission ruled
against the railroads in a similar case
brought by the business men Of Denver.
who protested against "A lower rate from
New York to San Francisco than to Den
yer. in deciding that case the commission
said:
Surely a rate which pays expenses for
5. l00-mIe haul will yield reasonable prof
its for haul not much over half that dis
lance, when the service actually rendered
is for the cheapest and easiest half of the
total haul.
If the commission i'm the Spokane case
follows its ruling in the Denver case. it
may result in z revolution in rate making
which will affect every commercial center
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

which are i'm Ssupete and Sewer Coun-
ties. The contracts prohibit the use OF
the hook knives and require the farm
ers to pit 10 per cent of their beets If
the COMPANY deems ii necessary. Par
lev Austin. agricultural superintendent
says that owing to the soaked condition
of the ground and the heavy snow con-
tanned in the mountains the outlook for
q bumper crop was never better. Last
winter many of the beets were frozen
and thawed out several times. making
them practically worthless and reducing
the sugar content in the beets to point
where if was a losing proposition TO al
tempt working them up into sugar. The
pitting of a portion Of the crop Will
probably do away with this loss in the
future.
