the population that must be p.oyid I'd

While Richmond appears to fare I'M
usually well so far as the coal shortage
IS concerned, the people of the town are
much upset over the lack Of coal but
tho conditions in this city are not at all
comparable to Norfolk. Newport News
and other cities In Eastern Virginia,
where coal cannot be had. The 80
allied riots in Newport News. in which
both the rich and poor engaged, appear,
beginning. unless the shortage in coal
Is soon remedied. There are thousands
or cars OF coal in Newport News wait
ing to be unloadcd for reshipment by
boat to the New England States, but
the people seem to be unwilling 10 let
that fuel slip out of their possession,
ana. therefore have resortcd to confis-
eating the coal at their own risk. The
same is true of Norfolk, where coal
riots are threatened. Many hundred
cars of coal are In Norfolk, but the coal
is routed TO New England, and cannot
be touched by the local dealers in that
city.
GOVERNMENT ORDER
PREVENTS USE OF THIS COAL.
The State fuel administrator is un
able to commander the coal in Nor
ioik and Newport News because there
is priority government order direct
ing the shipment of that coal 10 the
states beyond the Pennsylvania mines.
The railroads IN New England mus,
nave the coal from the West Virginia
mines. and. therefore. these cars of
coal cannot be touched. and must T..
shipped to Massachusetts and other IN :
Northern States.
Many coal dealers in Norfolk have
closed down completely because ;hey
are unable to meet the urgent demands
OF the people who are clamorinC for
coal. Others have cut their phone wires
because they are unable to answer .he

that one Of the very first fruits of

These small orders that come to the

The manufacturers are stu pulling

Delns az satisfactory as the prOdu
dealers and commission merchants who
ihhabit Cary and Thirteenth Streets
could wish. but even in the fruit line
thcre was good business. Poultry re-
ceipts were hardly as large as the
previous week, and the active demand
kept the cpoos cleaned up about as fast
as they come in. However, there was
no increase in prices. The trade is still
depending on the west and the cold

count.
Vegetables were in good receipt. and
met an active demand all of the week
The Cary Street men are much dis
appointed at the shortage of rabbit
receipts since the opening of the sea
son. They had expected the hunters
and trappers to make very large ship
ments by this time. but the game was
really scarce last week. No explana-
