BUSINESS THE RAILWAYS
Notwithstanding the Floods Last Week,
Freight Traffic Did Not Decrease.
An Increased Movement of Grain to the Sea-
board Expected Within Few Days
Differentials to Be Abolished.

The train records show the loaded car
movement of the week ending May to
have been about the same as in the week
ending April 30. despite the heavy rains
and other unfavorable conditions, there
being but eleven fewer loaded cars hand led
last week than in the preceding one. The
east-bound grain movement continues
light; in fact little but oats going forward;
but with the reduced rates made by the
all-rail routes an increased volume of grain
traffic is looked for this week, and the ef
forts making 20 have the rate on lumber
restored TO basis of % cents per one hun
dred pounds will likely cause the
hard wood lumber shippers to push
shipments. The belief prevails among
freight officials that the hasty action Of
placing all articles coming under sixth
class on a 20-cent rate basis, Chicago to
New York. will be so far revised that only
cereals and prod cts of cereals will take the
reduced rate. 1t is noticeable that while
west-bound business is not heavy, compar-
itively speaking, the tonnage Is greater
than at this season of the year in the past.
The development of the Southwest natur-
ally increases the business of the midland
routes, and il is also noticeable that
the Indianapolis through lines are
with each year increasing their
transcontinental-lne business in both
directions. The north-and-south roads
are doing heavy business. Ii will
be noticed that the j.. NJ. ~ /. division of
the Pennsylvania lines handled over one
thousand loaded cara last week. and the
Chicago division exceeded the i. ~ V. In
loaded-car movement The l.. +. & w.

Like all other indianapolis roads their To-
