NEWPORT NEWS As A FRUIT PORT.
New Line to Jamaica Connects With

Norfolk for Grain Exports.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Com
pany has recently put on weekly "ba-
mana train" that is attracting the atten-
ton Of railroad men. and is really indi-
cative of an important trade movement.
A line Of steamers now ply regularly be-
tween Newport News and Jamaica. These
are fruit steamers, and carry little

A steamer is scheduled to reach New
port News every Monday. The cargo is
there transferred to cars Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, and transported West

A BLOW AT BALTIMORE.
This is new movement on the part of
the Chesapeake end Ohio Ii is deeply
significant OF the growth OF the import
trade of Newport News Heretofore Bal
timore has been one Of the great fruit
importing cities of the country. The
great bulk OF the fruit brought into this
country from the Bahamas and West
Indies formerly came to that city. 1t
was distributed throughout the country
over railroads centering in Baltimore.

quantities Of fruit to western cities.
A very large portion of this trade now
comes to Newport News, and the Chesa-
peake and Ohio. 1t seems only a ques-
ton Of time until they have it all.
Kingston, Jamaica, is about one day
closer TO Newport News than TO Balu-
more. Newport News is closer to the
great cities of the West by way Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio, than is Baltimore
via any road running out of that city
WILL BE A GREAT FRUIT PORT.
II believe Newport News is destined to
become one OF the greatest, If not the
greatest, fruit ports of this country" said
a gentleman yesterday who has been
keeping we'll informed regarding the de-
velopment now going on in lower Tide
water Virginia. "She is not doing what
was expected Of her as a grain port. Nor
folk is forging 10 the front as a grain
port. The Norfolk and Western, with
deep-water terminus at Norfolk, runs
from Lake Superior through the richest
grain country in the world-the real grain
airy Of the world. Norfolk will undoubt-
edly be the great port Of this country |
for grain exports. She has already |
made tremendous inroads on the trade OF |
New York and Boston. She has hurt Bal |
timores even more"
