The Boom Yet to Come with indianapolis
Roads.


1t has been the fashion lately to ascribe the
loss Of railroad cravings to the slow movement
Of the grain crop, but an interesting article on
this subject, from the Railroad Gazette, says
that the movement of wheat from farmers in the
Northwest to the primary markets has been
larger this year than ever before in the history
of the country" a conclusive proof of which is
furnished by a statement showing the receipts
of wheat at St. Louis. Chicago. Milwaukee,
Peoria, Duluth, Detroit, Toledo and Cleveland
during August and the first three weeks in Sep
temher for every year back to 1870. From this
it demonstrates that there has been a very large
crop, and that it has come forward more rapidly
than ever before. Consequently the anticipa-
ton of a boom when the crop commences to move
is a fallacy. and some more reliable subject must
be discovered as a basis for the much-desired in
crease of earnings. The remarks of the Gazette
may apply truthfully to Northwestern lines, but
so far as Indianapolis lines are concerned it does
not meet the case. In September, 1881, In
dianapolis roads handled 6,085 less carloads of
gsain than in September 1889, while the tonnage
carried of other classes of traffic fully equaled
that of any former year.
