Groner. Of that city day or two ago. outsiders
may not hear much Of Norfolk, but it is going along
with rapid strides toward its certain destiny as a
great commercial and manufacturing centre. Its
export business has grown in the last two or three
years like magic. We shipped last year 100000
bushels Of grain. and not single cargo failed OF
arrival at its destination in good condition. 1t has
been feared formerly that climatic causes might
cause the grain exported from there to spoil, but
there no foundation for such opinion. Last
year receipts OF cotton put Norfolk to Savan-
nah as one of the great ports OF shipments for the
ncecy staple, and increased facilities necessary
for handling the bales. 4 compress is in
course of construction. and additional warehouses
