IMPORTANT PROJECT
Movement on Foot to Start a Line
of Fruit Trading Steamers.
Capitol stock of tho Company $780,
900 subscriptions Stnrted-Com-
pany TO Import Fruits aud Export
General Mcrchandtsc.

Sometime ago the Vrginianplot
noted the fact that a line of steame.s
to bring tropical fruits to Norfolk. and
to also export general merchandise to
the West Indies. was contemplated.
Work has been progressing quietly in
connection with the enterprise. and yes
terday Mr. ~. Il. Bulack. one of the
chief promoters, reached Norfolk. Mr..
Bulack il Will he remembered. is the
man who organized and established the
fruit importing line that enters New
port News. This line was not long ago
disposed OF to the trust or oreanZa-
ton that now controls the fruit trade
of the Atlantic Coast section.
1t is now proposed 10 incorporate
company for the purpose of establish
ing line of fruit steamers between
Norfolk, the West Indian Islands and
Central American ports.
1t is believed that Norfolk. by reason
of its excellent railway and steamship
facilities. is of peculiar value as u dis
tributinS center. and that almost every
point through the South and West can
be reached quicker and cheaper from
this city than from Northern ports
THE LOCAL DEMAND.
Norfolk and its immediate environs
l. =
and it is believed that cargo of 10000
punches of bananas. besides large
quantities OF oranges and cocOanuts.
can DO sold here each week. The great
volume of local trade in bananas can
hardly be realized BY those living here
who arc not connected with the bust
ness in some way.
GOODS FOR EXPORT.
The projectors of this new enterprise
contemplate also the establishment of
an export trade in dry goods and no.
tons. boots. shoes. hats. caps, rubber
goods, beef. pork, butter. lard. cheese.
sadlery, crockcry. glassware. hardware.
lumber of all kinds. clothing. drugs and
other goods TO Jamaica and the other
West Indian ports at which they viii
trade.
The estimates of costs. expenses and
profits per trip on fruit alone appear
very encouraging and the profits there
approN!mated. Will probably be mate
rally increased by the profits on goods
exported and freights on goods out
ward bound
EXISTING FRUIT LINES.
Fruit lines are now established a;
the following ports: Boston. New York,
| Philadelphia. Baltimore, Newport
News, Charleston. Mobile and New Or
| leans.
1t is said to be n fact very favora Die
10 fruit line having a terminus ut
Norfolk that cargoes can be unloaded
and delivered here before other steam
ers can reach New York, Philadelphia
or Baltimore.
CAPITAL STOCK.
The capital stock of the projected
company is fixed at 100000 in shares
of 500 each par value. Mr.. Bulack will
proceed to push the project to maturi-
