C. & 0. PUTS EMBARGO
ON COAL SHIPMENTS
Yards at Hampton Roads Banked
and 20 Ships Are Awaiting
for Fuel for England.
BY the Associated Press.

NORFOLK, Va, June ga gen
eral embargo on all coal movement
over it's lines to Newport News has
been put into effect by the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway because of the
serious congestion at it's terminals
due to the heavy movement of high
volatile coal to the British Empire.
Approximately 100000 tons of coal
was on hand there today to be loaded,
with 20 ships awaiting cargoes, and
twice as many more en- route there
for service.
Approximately 1000 cars of coal are
banked up at the Newport News ter
mina,s and in every available foot
of track space that could be used to
store them. Coal movements have
been stopped for a short period only,
and the congestion can be relieved
and other freight movements can go
forward at its regular rate, it was
said.
The British government recently
contracted for 1,0OO, 900 tons of high
volatile coal to move through Hamp'
ton Roads. The Chesapeake and Ohio
serves the high volatile coal fields
largely, and is handling the bulk Of
the business. Already the movement
Of the coal to British ports. as after
math Of the British strike. has caused
the coal dumpings at Hampton Roads
to take a tremendous jump. Up to
midnight Wednesday the Newport
News piers had dumped 677,S93 tons
of coal this month.
The present contract represents one
of the biggest single movements
through this port since the World
War,

Several SDecies Involved

1.-The fact that there are several
species involved, some of which have
not been associated with this damage
previously, makes it very difficult to
anticipate how long they will remain
in the field. Observations I'm Texas in
past seasons have shown wide varia-
ton in the amount of damage. There
IL a chance that any Of these species
may leave the cotton fields at any
time and devote their attention to
other plants. On the other hand, there
is no reason for assuming that this
will occur. Furthermore, the later
generations that will develop from
eggs now being laid may or may not
attack cotton. Under the best condi-
lions which could possibly be imagined
with these insects leaving the cotton
In the near future, production will
still be a serious problem"
Reports received at the laboratory
indicate that the cotton crop has
been destroyed to a large extent in the
infested fields. and in some instances
this extended to what is ordinarily
termed the middle crop. AS result

COTTON HOPPERS
MENACE TO CROPS
Insects Have Caused Serious
Damage in All Parts of

BY the Associated Press.

TALLULAH, Ga, June 25.-Pros-
poets for a bumper cotton crop in the
South this year are endangered by in
sects known as hoppers, which have
caused serious damage In almost
every part of the belt. The semiarid
sections of West Texas and Oklahoma
are the only districts where these
pests have not been seen recently, re-
ports received by the United States
Bureau Of Entomology laboratory here
indicate. No accurate estimate of the
hopper losses already caused Is avail

Some fields have been infested for

fields have reached the point where

COTTON IS STEADY

NEW YORK, June %. - Cotton
futures opened steady. July. 1875;
October, 1857; December, 1887; Jan
uary. 1888; March, 1858. The market
opened steady today at q decline of
3 to points. and showed rather ir-
regular fluctuations in early trading.
1t was estimated that notices repre-
senting about 3,100 bales were issued
against July contracts and July broke
to 1887 right after the call. a new de-
cline of 20 points. Later months sold
about 10 to Is points net lower in
sympathy with the near month weak
ness. but the decline brought in cover
ing and there appeared to be good
demand for the July contracts.
July rallied to 1902, or within 5
points of yesterdays closing quota
tons, and later deliveries recovered a
few points on covering promoted by
reports Of heavy rains in some parts
of Texas and reiterated complaints of
insect activity.
