Mrs. Scott is a colored woman, who for

GREAT SHIPPING POOL.
Company to Handle Railway and
Ship Traffic.

New York, Oct. 6-From most reliable
sources it has been learned that an ar
ramgGanent has been entered into by the
railways and Steamship lines running
into and operating from Newport News
and Norfolk, whereby the foreign traffic
of general cargoes from those ports, with
the exception of full cargoes of grain and
coal, has been placed under one manage
ment and that the United States shipping
company has become the agent in control
by this new agreement. The COMPACT

the United States Shipping company will
hereafter handle all the foreign trafflc
of the Norfolk & Western railway, also
the Southern railway from the points
The United States Shipping COM
pany will continue it's working agreement
with the Chesapeake & Ohio at Newport
News The shipping company also has
working agreement with the seaboard air
line and the Atlantic Coast line at Nor
folk.
A representative Of the United States
Shipping company said that the company
had become the agent for foreign traffic
under the anaIgamation and had working
agreements with the railways mentioned.
He aAsO said that the shipping company
had decided to increase the sailing of the
following steamship lines: The Union
line to Hamburg, the Donaldson line to
Glasgow, the HOlland-Amerlcan line to
Rotterdam and Amsterdam, the Lord llne
to Belfast and Dublin, and the Phoenix
line to Antwerp.
The practical understanding of the for
eign traffic of Newport News and Norfolk
calls to mind the recent arrangement en-
tered into by the railways running be-
tween Buffalo and New York. AS point
ed out at the time Of it's announcement,
this railway gran pool absolutely abol-
ishes all New York competition EXCEPT to
the extent that the Erie canal may be
called competitor. The amalgamation
of the foreign traffic of the two Virginia
ports is another striking illustration of
the elimination Of competition between
railways and in this instance steamship
lines as we'll and the outcome of Doth
arrangements will no doubt be watched
with great deal Of interest.

COTTON LETTERS

New York. March 19.-Hubbard Bros &
Co. say Our cablegrams from Liver
pool state the surprising weakness in the
immediate deliveries in that market to
be due to the pausing in the demand from
Manchester and consequent desire, to
liquidate on the part of holders of the
immediate deliveries. This market did
not show the same weakness as shown
abroad, the decline not being in the same
proportion. Bradstreets report upon the
condition of the cotton goods trade was
an unfavorable factor, causing many
Northern buyers to withdraw their sup
port. The local temper has been rather
bullish, based on the belief that this mar
ket could not decline in face OF the
strong Liverpool position. They are.
therefore, rather at sea because of the
unlooked-for decline in that market to-
day. Receipts a the ports are heavy.
New York, March 19.-Murphy & Co.
