The Worlds Greatest Ports.

Most men, if they were asked to
name off-hand the four greatest sea-
ports of the world. would probably be
wrong on two of them at least. There
is Just a chance that they might be
right in the case of three of them.
Shipping men interested in the Allan
tic trade would probably name three,
but, taking either clearanees or entries
it is safe to say that no one man in a
hundred could place i'll their proper or
der the four greatest seaports of the
world. In Older of the entrances of
freight they are London, Hongkong,
New York and Antwerp. London is a
long way ahead of anybody. Antwerp
and New York are very close together,
and Hongkong is something like 600,-
600 tons in front of either. In the mat
ter of clearances HoDgkong is easily
| first. Antwerp Is tar second, New
York bad third and Hamburg fourth
aud we'll in front of London, which ls
only fifth on the list and no less than
IL, TAI, $50 tons behind its Chinese lead
er. If we add entrances and clearan
ces together, the order of the foul
great ports Of the world is Hongkong
London. Antwerp, with New York
only fourth, but well in front of Ham

THE KANAWHA DEAL


The Cincinnati Times-otar publishes
the following:
"The Pittsburg and Lake Erie Rail.
road Company has purchased the l.it
tie Kanawha syndicate coal lands and
railroads, which are in litigation in the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
in Cincinnati. The Times Star has
absolute authority on this point. ,s.---
1.-The sale was made by Joseph Ram
sey, Jr., former president of the .Wab-
ash system Mr. Ramsey and George
Gould did not differ on this PROPOSE
ton. They appeared together, through
counsel, before Judge John K. Rlch-
ards on W Wednesday morning. defend
ing their interests to prevent Mr.. John
Jones, of Chicago, from interfering
with the sale.
1.-The Pittsburg and Lake Erie is a
Wander line 1t will come into the
new coal field through Pitts tsburg The
several. railroad lines which are integral
parts of the Little Kanawha will be
used by the Vanderbilts to make ne W
line through Virginia to the Atlantic
seaboard. This is one of the greatest
railroad deals of recent times.
1.-THE property which the Vanderbilts
thus acquire is composed of the Little
Kanawha Railroad Company, the Park
ersburg Bridge and Terminal Compa-
nv. which has charter to bridge the
Ohio at Parkersuburg. the Burnsville
and Eastern, the Buckhannon and
/ Northern, the BellingtOn and Northern
the GAINESVILLE, Marietta and Parkers'
burg and the Marietta, Columbus and
Cleveland. In addition there are So
900 acres of coal land near Fairmont
and 35 900 acres in Gilmer. Braxton and
Lewis counties. These lands are in
the central part of the State. They
are not near the coal lands sought to bt
reached by the Zimmerman-Holland'
interests through the Detroit, Toledo
and Ironton line, which is j. Pier
pont Morgan interest.
ut is understood that the Wander
bilts, with their new property, will co
operate directly with the Chesapeake

Our Enormous Egg Crop.

The egg and poultry earnings of the
United States for one recent year
amounting to $3.50 100000 Such an
amount is sufficiently amazing as it
stands, but you don't get its full sig
nificance until you study the relative
financial values of other ''industrials. .
We find, for Instance. that the total
value of the gold, silver, wool and
sheep produced in America during the
year in question was $272, 424.3 The
sugar production of the country the
same year was but 100000 000 That
part of the wheat crop used at home,
which many consider the most valua
Bile of all our agricultural products,
was worth 1929 10000 The great
American hog, as consumed at home
and abroad, brought S1S6, ,529, ,035. The
value of the oat crop was $7S,9S4, 800
Potatoes grown in the United States
were valued at nearly as large as sum
as were the oats. The product of to-
bacco plantations was estimated to be
worth $35, $40, ,225. Cotton, the de-
tnroned of staples, could show only
$259, 16l $40. as against the magnificent
earnings of its feathered rival. The
crops of flax, timothy, clover, millet
and cane seeds. broom corn, castor
beans, hay, straw, &c, couldn't It, all
told, come within a measurable dis
tance of many millions of the poultry
earnings. The hens eggs produced in
this country annually would fill 43, 127,-
900 crates, each of of the latter holding
$50 eggs; also, a train of refrigerator
C ars to carry these fresh eggs would
be nearly 800 miles long. Furthermore,
1t would take 107 ,S1S such cars to make
up this train.-Success.

Practically all the coal lands on the
Pocahontas fields are now owned by
the Pocahontas Coal & Coke company
corporation that is controlled by the
N. & w. railroad company.
| This land lies in Mcdowell. Mercer
and Wyoming counties and consists OF
about 230, 900 acres, which was pur-
chased three or four years ago by
this corporation for $40, 900. 600 or
about $S7 per acre. 1t is said teX
thirty thousand acres of this land is
barren or the coal is not in sufficient
quantity to operate. This land is ori-
glnally known as the Flat Top coal
fields and owned by an association of
the same name. Isaac I. Mann took
an option on it from the Flat Top AS
sociation for an amount less than six
millions and sold it to the United
States Steel Company for $4,000. 900.
The steel company threatened to build
a railroad through the property which
would have taken all of that tariffic
from the Norfolk & Western road,
which alarmed the N. & w. and they
proposed to buy it and did so, for the
handsome sum of twenty millions.
These lands heretofore have been as
sessed at very insignl ficent values

new assessment as returned by the real
