STATEWIDE PROHIBITION
ANNOUNCEMENT UNOFFICIAL
President Of Anti-saIoon League
Thinks Rev. Mr.. Taylor Must
Have Been Misquoted.
(By Associated Press)

NORFOLK. VA, Sept. l7,---Presi-
dent ]. w. Hough. CT the Norfolk Ar
ti-saloon League. said today that the
announcement purporting 10 come
from Rev. ]. A. Taylor in Southwest
Virginia that petition will be cir
culated urging the next legislature
TO submit TO the vote OF the people
the question OF statewide prohibition
does not come with authority and Mr..
Hough Is of the opinion that Mr..
Taylcr has not been quoted just right.
MIR. IIough and Mr.. Taylor are beth
members or the State Antisaloon cx-
ecutiva committee. Mr.. Hough said:
What think Mr.. Taylor eaid is
that he personally favored a petition TO
the legislature for statewide prohibit
ton and not that he meant to speak
authoritatively for the league because
1t has taken no such action.
Il am much in favor Of local op-
ton election for Norfolk. but can no
more say in advance OF action by our
49,
election here than Mr. TAYLOR could
declare that a petition is TO be sub
mitted to the next legislature asking
for statewide prohibition.
s'We all have our personal ideas and
have right TO state them. II is not
difficult for ones personal expressions
to be taken as authoritative. and this
mistake is frequently made just az
it has now been made. I am quite
sure, In the reported declaration oil
Mr.. Taylor to Congressman Slemp at
Roanok Ike. that Immediately after the
November election petitions will be in
circulation in every precinct OF the
state asking for the submission OF
state wide prohibition to an immedi-
ate vote to the people. The State
leagne has made no announcement OF

VOLUME OF TRADE NOT
AFFECTED BY PRICES
With Prevailing Rates High Orders
Are Far in Excess of Those
of Last Year.
(By Associated Press.)


NEW YORK, Sept. l7.-R. G. Dun
and Company's weekly review Of
trade tomorrow will say:
In spite of prevailing high prices
the volume OF trade continues not
only largely in excess OF last year,
but is even approximahng the records
of 1907. Most noteworthy is the con-
tinuing expansion in iron and steel
in which the position of producer and
consumer was changed, the latter now
displaying most of the eagerness TO
close contracts at prevailing rates.
The sales Of steel rails are the
heaviest in two years, while there has
been a decrease OF 80 per cent in a
month in the number OF idle cars.
The height of the jobblng season
in dry goods is .assed but consider
able business is offered in small lots
from retailers and others who bought
cautiouly in their first transactions.
In cotton goods and yarns the effort
to lift up selling prices TO a parity
with raw cotton continues as the
chief feature of interest.
Domestics exported from New York
this year to date amount to 2S3 1894
bales; same time last year. only 12S,-
3s5 Domestic uress goods show a
better tone.
Marked dizziness continues to rule
in the footwear market. The hide
market shows improved demand.

CEDAR GROVE, May est is an
Ill wind that blows nobody good and
the poultry men are beginning to
smile. Tho tears in their eyes are now
dried enough for them to see the price
of eggs soaring skyward. Not only
this, but chickens have topped the
price of turkeys, a thing never heard of
before.
The ordinary prices on the hen
product seen in grocery stores do not
cut any ice 1t seems. The real genuine
prices are found in the New York
produce papers and these figures are
not being made by the human beings,
but by the hens. But to look at these
produce papers Is but to find thai
eggs have actually been quoted at 6k
cents higher than they were last year
The average consumer of these shelled
luxuries who has the nerve may rea6
in the produce papers advertisements
like this:
"On account of the shortage of poul-
try in the country and the lay of egg,
March 10 to April 10 being 40 per cent
less than a corresponding period las

themselves work and trouble by grow
ing fiat. But the power exercised by
growing vegetation of any kind seems
almost incredible when proportioned to
its soft, often succulent substance. Two
or three years g a mar living in the
western part of the city noticed that a
brick in the pavement round his house
had been pushed up during the night,
one end being raised an inch above
those around it. Curious to see what
was the matter, he took UP the brick
and found a growing mushroom I'M
derneath. Many instances are recorded
of hugh slabs, like those of monu-
ments in cemeteries, pushed apart by
the roots of tress and shrubs and such
evidences of the power of growing roots
are almost awe-inspiring when 1t Is
remembered that it is exerted imper-
ceptibly, as, little by little, the tree
adds one tiny atom after another to its
roots and branches.
