TOBACCO MARKET
Reported BY Will L. Hazel.

Sales for the week have been moder-
ately large, with prices the best OF the
season, in fact as good as | ever saw
them, quality Of tobacco considered.
sold yesterday forty-five thousand
pounds at an average of 5000 for the
entire sale, which is the best average
for that quantity Of tobacco that has
been made in many year.

Charles Hyack, of Hanover county,
sold for $12, S35, $50; average $24.

their merit and was no "State Fair

Wrappers are scarce and hlgn' 1

the season, provided the farmers do not
rush tobacco on the market too fast and
cause a glut, that of course would
lower prices some.

OPPOSING TAT 7
Feeling Against Ills Policies

BILLS ARE BEING HELD UP
Opposition is Developing so Rapidly
That the President May Face
Task of Bringing the Regu-
lars Into Line.
BILLS ARE BEING HELD UP

washington. Jan. 17.-Opposition TO
the Taft policies is developing rapidly
within the ranks OF the regular Re
publicans in congress. II may be ne
cessary soon for President TAFT TO
address himself to the task OF bring
ing regulars into line. Representative
Mann. of Illinois, chairman of the COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce. who is recognized as Speaker
Cannon's frst lieutenant on the floor
of the house, as we'll as others identi-
fed with the organization, do not APP
prove of the presidents recommends
lions for change in the interstate COM
merce law. nor do they favor the ad-
ministration plan of federal incorpora-
tlon. Mr.. Mann has introduced sub
stitute bills in each case. He objects
TO the interstate commerce court fea'
ture Of the presidents proposal for
changes in the rate law and objects TO
his federal incorporation bill on the
ground that il is an interference with
the rights of the states. Representa-
tive Mann does not stand alone In
his attitude toward these two admins
tration measures. His objections to
them are shared by other members Of
the committee of which he Is chair
man. the very committee that must
pass on the bills before they reach the
house.
Conservation Bills.
The administration bills 10 carry out
Mr.. Taft's views on the subject of the
conservation of natural resources are
still before the house committee on
public lands awaiting the announce
ment of some volunteer that he is
willing to undertake their defense in
the house. The offer Of Chairman Mon
dell. Of Wyoming. to introduce the
bills by request" having been de-
clined by President Taft and Secre'
tary Ballinger. attention will be given
to the measures by individual men,
bers OF the committee and they may be
parceled out among several of the
western representatives.
Many people believe that the ad'
ministration forces made a mistake in
declining the proffer of Mr.. MOndell
His opposition to the Ballinger bills is
said TO be in harmony with the luke
warm support given By him In the
past to the Roosevelt or Taft pro
grams for the conservation Of natural
resources. II is pointed out that few
bills which withdrew for government
reserve any part of the public domain
that has been subject to entry have
had Mr.. Mondell's support. The meas
ures in question were drafted by Sec.
rotary Ballinger and the Endorsement
introduced by request" would have
brought them prominently TO the at
tention of the country a administra-
tion measures.
In view of the fact that Mr. Bal.
fingers conservation tendencies have
been questioned 1t might prove advan-
tageous to him to have his personal
label put upon them.
