The prediction that Newpor, New;
will become the leading p.5rt on the
Atlantic coast in the shipment of coal
when the new Chesapeake Il Ohio
coal pier. now nearing completion. is
put into operation. is being made h:
many local agents.
Newport News now ranks among
the leading ports on the Atlantic
coast in the output OF coal and ship.
ping men contend that when the new
ccal dock is put INTO operation the
present output will be increased over
1000 900 tons anually. giving thi;
part a total annual output OF nearly
5000 900 tons.
During the present year there has
been II steady increase in the shin.
ments of coal from this psrt. espec!.
ally in shipments TO foreign cuun
tries, in which trade Newport News
already leads all Of the Atlantic coast
ports. In spite Of continual rains
which hampered operations at tho
coal piers, total of about GO,0GO

countries in October. or that amount

and 5000 tons TO Kingston, ia. The
demand for Newport News coal in
Cuba, Clon, Mexico and jamaica. To-
cal agents say. shows no signs Of
diminishing, but OH the other hand
continues brisk and there is
every prospect that from now on
Newport News will be called upon T.,

New Field Opened.
Besides the shipments to the ports
around the Caribbean sea, a new field
has been opened up in Florida by

The demand for coal IN New En-
gland is steadily increasing and in
opinion of local agents Newport

er part OF that demand as it will,
next year, have better facilities for
handling vessels than any other port,
and will have lever rates than the
other ports.

receives an annual allowance Of aD

peror OF Austria an annual allowance
OF more than 100000. Both these
monarchs receive additional allowances
for certain definite purposes, and both
OF them own vast landed estates Ear

The Sultan OF Turkey receives an
annual allowance OF 100000, and
the King OF Italy draws over 5000
