RAILKoAps ANp DROPS.

'rhe transportation interests are
among the first to feel and the last to
recover from the effects of a general
business impression. IL strikes at once
at freight and passenger traffic and
soon reduce business from a paying
to a losing basis. During most OF the
time for the past three years the rail
roads OF the United States have suf-
fered more than any other department
OF business. They could not suspend
operations, as manufacturing corpora
tions cid, but were compelled to run
trains and keep up expenses that were,
in many instances, greater than their
receipts. A large proportion of the
railway mileage OF the country was
forced into the hands of receivers,
and much of it is still in that sad con
dition.
Bnt the tide has turned at last and
the railway managers are confidently
expecting long period of activity in
their business. The revival of manu-.
features and trade has brought great
increase in freights. The return of
prosperity has put new life into the
passenger traffic. There is cheerful
feeling all along the lines
The certainty OF great demand for
transportation faeil tiles to move the
large crops of this abounding year
would be more gratifying TO many of
the railroads II they were better pre-
pared TO meet it, During the period
of depression they could give no atten-
tion to improvements They had no
use for additional rolling stock even
II they had been able TO pay for IT,
The result is that they now find them
selves short of cars aud have little
time to supply tie deficiency 1t is
stated that the car-building establish
menIs all over the country have orders
booked for more cars than can be built
this year. They are working to their
full capacity, but feais are expressed
that scarcity 4 cars will be seriously
wheat and cprn crops are ready for the
market
Thi. large h vest of cereal staples
may be- productive OF temporary an
noyances and disappointments, but
the inability OF the roads to handle it
rs rapidly as the farmers wish may not
prove an unmixed evil. A sudden and
great rush OF grain to market is not
calculated to enhance prices. Proba-
bly, the average of prices for year
would be higher u the delivery OF
crops were evenly dlstri buted through
out the months Of the year. But that
plan would be impractieable, because
the producers need the pay for their
crops. II, however, there is an un.
avoidable delay in transportation IL
will tend TO the maintenance OF re-
munerative prices.
