FARMERS REFUSE RATES
OFFERED FOR TOBACCO
Action in Virginia Closes Ware
houses for Period of Waiting.
Meanwhile Prices Advance.

RICHMOND, Va. October 2 (Spe-
ciaD THAT the farmers of Virginia
are not in humor to surrender their
tobacco crop at the prices that were
offered when the markets opened last
month is plain. The offerings for tn e
first two or three weeks were light,
and the prices were even lighter. The
farmers refused to offer, and in many
instances the warehousemen closed
their doors and prepared for a siege
of waiting. Many of them are still
waiting, and they will continue so
to do.
One result of the waiting has been
that prices already are ascending. and
they bid fair to go even higher, but
they will not reach the height of last
year. One case in point comes from
a nearby town, in which a farmer car
placed it on the floor and offered it
for sale. He had fixed his own price
of $50 for 100 pounds. 1t was bid up
to considerably less than that. and
he refused to sell. He took his crop
away and reappeared in ten days and
made a second attempt to sell, and
succeeded. the buyers paying SAL for
the tobacco for which they had Of
fered less than $50.
Tobacco growers have organized
compactly. They have saved a little
money. and they say they will sup
port each other until they can get
approximately what the crop has cost
to plant, cultivate. gather and cure,
which also includes the extortionate
prices paid for fertilizers. The chances
are that another year will see the
farmers loosen up on the tobacco
business and raise more corn, wheat
pork, beef, chickens and turkeys,
beans and peas, and such other ar
ticles as will be for home consump-
ton. and they are also beginning to
turn more and more to fruits.
The corn crop in Virginia this year
viii come near to being a record for
the state.

WHEAT DROP CHARGED TO
CANADIAN COMPETITION

CHICAGO, October 2.-Canadian COM
petition has been a big factor this
week in forcing the wheat market
here sharply downgrade. Compared
with week ago, wheat this morning
was 8 cents to IA cents lower, corn
off ~ cents to S cents. oats varying
from II cent decline to Aa% cent
gain, and provisions at losses Of rs
cents to $1.45.
General cutting of commodity values
together with some uncertainty as to
financial conditions had shaken the
confidence Of wheat bulls, and it soon
became evident that the market was
unable to withstand continued an
nouncement of large imports from
Canada for domestic millers.
The fact that on the resulting de-
clines export business of large volume
took place in the United States failed
to act as counterbalance. Meanwhile,
bearish estimates of the world supply
did a good deal to influence sentiment,
and 1t was contended that no world
scarcity could develop before May or
June. In this connection, special at
tention was given to advices that
India had released 100000 bushels
of wheat for export Notwithstanding
recent word Of widespread starvation
there.
Despite frost, corn went downward
with wheat. One authority figured
government forecast by $4,000, 900
bushels. Oats were relatively firm
owing to scantiness of receipts.
Provisions reflected the weakness Of
breadstuffs and corn.

STEEL BUYERS PRESS
FOR PRICE REDUCTIONS
Metal Markets Apparently il
Period of Readjustment to
Lower Levels.
Lower Levels.

NEW YORK, October 1.-The metal
markets appear to be in a period of
readjustment to lower prices more
clearly than at any other time this year
Steel buyers have been pressing pro-
ducers for reductions. Inquiries for
sheet bars have practically establish
ed the maximum market at $500, but
buyers are waiting for further shad-
ing. BilletS have been cut to $500
at Pittsburgh and Youngstown. and
forging billets to 1000. Plates and
sheets and in fact most of the heavier
products have been reduced, while
wire materials, rails. hoops, bands and
ties remain steady.
Pig Iron Easier.
For the first time this year signs
point to an easier pig iron market.
Stagnant demand as result of con-
sumers' reluctance to place new BUSH
ness at present prices, together with
active production and shipments as
well as lowering prices for coal and
coke, are the leading factors. Valley
foundry iron 800 ton to 400, and
basic is in the course of weakening
to a $500 level.
Copper has taken the course of iron
and steel. Finding it almost impos-
sible to do any business at 1874 cents
quotations to 1872 cents and are get
ting few orders even at the lower
figure. Consumers have been well
covered by steady receipts on old con-
tracts and have not shown any in
terest in fourth quarter or first quar-
ter of 1921. except to place some emer-
gency requirements in the open
market.
Producers Prices Shaded.
HaaVv arrivals of foreipp conner
totaling $500 tons, against exports of
1900 tons this month, have placed
smaller sellers in a position to shade
producers prices Y to y cents a
pound. Tin is absolutely lifeless. The
market at 43 cents a pound is the
lowest of the year, but consumers are
taking little at this price. Lead is
dull and trading is absent. Zinc is
weak and featureless There is a
distinct absence of demand. Anti
mony is quiet, but prices remain I'M
changed.

Into trains which carry it to tho set-up stations. The washed sand which is carried beyond tho crusher by great conveyors is lifted into the cars by means of huge clam shells and sent to the set-up stations.
 As has been stated. in these stations an the material is automatically loaded on the cars of the industrial railroad. The cement was first brought to the Fowler station, the only one yet in operation, in bulk to be loaded by a vacuum process. But that apparatus is out of order, That is, the air. lock does not work so that cement in sacks was hurried there and the cement is now loaded by hand, though from above the tunnel" The tunnel is the space under the station where the in- dustriar trains run. The work of load ing the cement by vacuum was di- rected by one man. It takes a dozen to do the same work now. The ap- paratus will berepaired within a week
 The "Sot-Up ps.S
 For the purpose of establishing "set- up" stations the territory within the county highway program is divided into nine sections. each embracing iron 20 to 40 miles of road, to be built. Flo, each set-up there is a station similar to that at Fowler, situated so that ma. terial can be delivered to 1t by rail tt be distributed to the work by the in. dustrial railway. There will be used fl each set up six and a half miles of thil railway which is taken up as fast a, the road Is built and moved from plac, to place. It has been figured out tha hfe rsR f~.Z t~r be made to serve 40 miles of construc tion.
 There will be only three of the sta tions in use at the same time, the in tention being when the work in on section has been finished, to move tn station to another set-up. That vii be a tremendous task. or apparently 1 will be when one sees the heavy tim bers. But they are joined together b. sections which are picked up by tn cranes and placed on flat cars. Thu even that apparently herculean work 1 as devoid of manual labor again, a the making of a chemise on a sewin machine.
 The Chandler set-up will be the mex to be used. The station there Is nov nearly complete and will be in opera ton by the first of next month. Wit three set-ups, that is. six mixers f operation the road will be constructe at the rate of 3oO0 feet a day.as tn average of each mixer is 500 feet.

 5ravins the River
 Only the briefest sort of a descrip- ton of the complex machinery, com plex, notwithstanding the simplicity and ease of It's operation is possible The trick of running a railway system out into the river for the salvaging of the material there, was regarded as risky, and no doubt much of the ground, practically all of it, will be covered with floods before the work is finished. But with 24 hours notice of the coming of the flood, the great dig ger can be brought out. As for the railroad tracks they are held against flood by long steel cables. In antici- patton of floods when material can not be taken from the river bed, great reserve piles of aggregate are being piled up on high ground for delivery to the crusher. There is, by the way, only one crusher in operation now but the machinery for the other is on the ground and will be installed within a few days. Regarding the work of the crushing and washing, tests of the materials show that less than five per cent of silt is left when the aggregate Is ready to be moved.
 Minimum Man Power
 People who know of road construc- tion only under old methods will learn with amazement that all that is going on at the stations, and on the roads, requires less than 300 men. These men, that is, those of them having to do with the machinery are all trained for their parts. Many of them have been with the Twohy organization for long time while others have followed such superintendents as MT. Mccoy in charge of the Fowler station and have seen service in all parts of the world. Many of these men are engineers of a high type.
 Messrs. Cavanaugh and Lavin are in charge at the central station.
 The organization of the highway commission consists, beside of the members of the commission, Messrs Hackett, Hurley, Jones, Carrick and Peterson, of R c. Perkins, chief en- gineer; W. H. Barnum, first assistant. Clyde Jenken, construction engineer ir charge of the laboratory and D. A McClung. chief draughtsman, in charge of the office work and formerly with the California highway depart ment. 1t was the intention of MT Perkins to adopt the latest methods that had been devised for road build ing. The plans have always been kepf up to the minute and as new processes have been invented and tried, they have been adopted when their wortf has been proved.
 The Planning
 The plans and specifications decided upon by the engineering department ot the commission were passed upon bJ the engineers of the Portland Cement Association at whose head is A. N Johnson, regarded as one of the fore most of experts. After mixtures have been made in the laboratory of the highway commission specimens are sent to Professor D. A, Abrahams oi Lewis Institute. Chicago, to be passed upon in order to get the best mix foI the highest abrasion.
 Engineer Perkins has adopted the dry mix as the best. Each mixer is equipped with a truncated cone-s shaped appliance into which the mixture is put and if it shows a slump of more than ar
