Fifty Cars of Wheat Received
at Local Elevator.
FOR SHIPMENT THIS MONTH
Movement Of erair to Foreign coun-
tries Will Begin Within a Week and
Brisk Trade is Looked for During
the Winter.

Fifty carloads Of wheat were re-
ceived at Chesapeake & Ohio grain
elevator A yesterday from the west
for shipment to ports in the United
Kingdom during the next ten days.
The grain will be taken by the Fur
ness Witty liner West Point. which
is now due at this port from Savan-
nah, Ga. in ballast.
This is the first consignment OF
wheat to be received here this win
ter, but other shipments will arrive
in the near future and the grain trade
promises to be brisk. In spite of the
dullDess i'm the foreign wheat mar
kets. caused by the almost prohibitiye
price Of grain in the United States.
bookings already have been made by
Furness-W Witty & Company fer about
0,O00 bushels of wheat and in ALI
probability other bookings will be
made from time TO time during the
winter.
For several years now the grain
trade at this port has been practically
at a stand still. but local shipping
men believe that the trade will be
heavy in the future. They base this
belief on tn fact that the new owners
of the Chesapeake & Ohio have
adopted policy Of upbuilding the
expert and import trade at this port
as well as using every effort TO IN
crease the coal trade.
During the past year or more, the
Chesapeake & Ohio road has been
double-tracked almost its entire
length from the terminals here TO
Cincinnati and the road can handle
almost twice the volume of freight
that it could several years ago when
Newport News ranked with the lead
ing ports of the United States in the
shipment CT grain and the general ex-
port business and yet held its own
among the coal shipping ports of the
Atlantic Reaboard.
