Absorbed the Local Company. Fruit
Steamer Arrived Yesterday. What
VIII BE Done for This City.

i. The Boston Fruit Company has just
4 closed a deal by which it will control
gall ofythe. fruit trade entering Virginia
Through Newport News.
& This deal was forecasted by the Daily
Press last week and since then
the negotiations have been brought to
head. The Boston company, the most
powerful in the fruit business on the
Atlantic, has absorbed the Virginia
and West India Fruit and Trading
company. This deal was arranged by
Mr.. C. c. buchanan, president of the
Buchanan Fruit Company, of Baltimore,
who has large interest in the Boston
concern.

Boston Fruit Company at this port ar
rived yesterday from Port Marie.

and She brought 1850 punches of choice

The arrangements the Boston Fruit
company has with the Chesapeake &
OHIO railroad are similar to those with
the Virginia and West India Fruit and
Trading Company and as fast as fruit
is brought here it will be shipped to the
west on fast trains.

pletlng the absorption of the Virginia
company. which has been trading here

their departure all arrangements for
the operation of the Boston Fruit Com
pany at Newport News were completed.

have direct control of the business at
this port, as well as Baltimore, but the
local officials of the Virginia company

1t Is understood that the officials of
the chesapeake & Ohio railroad are in
terested in the combine.
The Boston Fruit COMPANY will run
vessels between Newport News and
ports In Jamaica at regular intervals
and the shipments of bananas to this
port Will be larger and more frequent
than heretofore. 1t has been rumored
thaf the absorption of the Virginia COM
pany by the Boston concern would
mean the death knell Of the fruit busl-
ness at this port but that lis an errone-
GUS impression. The officials OF the
appreciate the fact that this is
