FREIGHT TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT
Grand Army E%ncampment Cut
Down the Business Last Week.
In Passenger Lines the Greatest Number
of Cars Was Moved of Any Week
Since the Worlds Fair Began.

Az would be expected with Indianapolis

three days SONS of the roads had their
freight as well as passenger engines in the

Army of the Republic was the worlds fair

Big Four. the Cincinnati. Hamilton IL Day

While 1t was not expected that the freight
tonnage last week. or even for some weeks
TO come. would reach the volume of tho
same week of last year. the business OF the
fall of 1915 being phenomenal. an opinion
prevails with freight men that from now

Freight business for August

The train records show that in August
there were received and forwarded at In.
dianspolis o total of 50. 9S4 cars. 60, 397 being
loaded. In July there were handled ut
Indianapolis 74,13S loaded ears, or 4.74l
more than in August. Going back to An-
gust. 1892. there were handled in that
month S2.S12, or 1913 more loaded cars
than in August this year. To reach as
light a loaded car movement at Indianspo-
lis as that of August. 1898. one must go
back TO 1878. OF this decrease In business
in August this year, of. nearly 1900
osdsd cars, q shortage OF about $500
demonstrated in the light number OF
transfers over the Belt. The other 1900
decrease is traceable TO the Shutting
down of so many manufacturers and the
cessation OF building, n stopping the
shipments of building material to the city
TO q large extent. Through this decrease
In business the Panhandle lines. the Big
-Four lines and the Cincinnati, Hamilton
d Dayton have been the greatest sufferers.
The Indianapolis IL Vincennes. the Van
dalia. the Lake Erie & Western and the
Mopon have come the nearest to handling
m average August tonnage. The empty
Ger movement was much larger than usual,
reaching about % per cent, when IL usu-
ally averages 20 per cent. OF the total
movement
ON the Big Four system there were han.
died In August. on oil divisions. the L. ~
4. not included, 653. l73 passengers. The
Chicago division shows o handsome in
crease, while every other division handled
fewer passengers than IN August, 1892.
In August there were handled on the Big
Four lines proper 134. 653 loaded oars,
against 16S. 434 In August. 1e92, O decrease
this year oil 80, 7Sl loaded cars.
A fact that Is creating considerable COM
ment in freight circles is that the Peoria
d Eastern is the only road in this territory
which showed an increase in freight traffic
for the month OF August. there being
handled on the system last month rs ~
loaded cars. against Il. 1856 IN August. 1922.
an increase this year of 4.S2l loaded cars.
Had the passenger earnings Of the road
been as large as last year. o handsome in.
crease in earnings for August. this year,
would have been shown. Worlds fair

oursions were run. In years past. the l.. &

Some idea of the effect that the money
~etringency has on the business of the rail-
ways Is shown in the exhibits of the Penn

VERMONT MoRoANs AND MERlNos AT
CHICAGO.

DIR. II. II. McIntire. the Vermont COM
missioner to the Chicago fair. was in
town on Monday to settle with Mr.. II. r.
Cults of Orwell, the superintendent of
the State Morgan exhibit, and with the
officials of the Vermont MerinO Sheep
Breeders association, under the auspices
of which exhibits of fine-wool sheep were
sent. Mr.. McIntire said after he had fin
ished his business that the Morgan eXhib-
itOrs would receive about 30 per cent of
the premiums taken by their horses and
the exhibitors of sheep about 60 per cent
The entire cost of the Vermont Morgan
horse exhibit at the fair was about $2350
of which the State paid $500. 1t was
understood that the remaining expenses
would be paid out of premiums, and if
this was insufficient the balance would
be paid by the horse breeders. The bal
ance of the expense after the payment of
the States $500 is $3.50, and as the pre-
miuns received amounted to $S25, there
remains about $275 to be distributed to
such exhibitors as drew premiums. The
sheep exhibit cost Sll00, of which the
State paid $1,000. The winnings of YER
mont sheep were about $40. The Ayr
