ali coas!gnees 10 unload freight

business houses have been embar,
coed. The notices issued by all
eastern railroads received in the

Many Boats In Waiting.
Not for a long time has there
been SO many boats in ports in this
country awaiting cargoes. In many
instances these vessels are wait
Ing for coal.

In Norfolk, Va, says that at one
time there were Isl boats in that
port that were waiting to be load

Similar conditions are expert
enced at Curtis Bay. On MONDAY
Of this week there were 81 boats
at Curtis Bay and "a at Canton
The piers are practically With

Shipments TO Curtis Bay from

coal 10 arrive because OF the trans
por,ation tie up. Since the en-
barge has been lifted the Fair
mon. region sent 6S,S00 tons Of coal
10 Curtis Bay. This is largely eS

mcnts are going chiefly from Port
| Richmond and some,of the otheT
piers. However, no doabt some o.
The Curtis Bay shipments are for
coast-wise shipments 10 New Eng
land.
There is a little delay in foreign
boats, because New England ship
ments are given the right Of way
due iiNs' 10 the acute fuel shortage
