TRAFFIC FELL OFF
Grain Movement Likely to Receive mn
Impetus by Reduction in Rates
Earnings II Local Railways.

The train records show that in the week
ending Feb. 2 there were 25 fewer loaded
cars handled at indianapolis than in the
week ending Jan. rs; in the corresponding
week OF 1894 comparison shows that 3,20S
more loaded cars were received and for
wsrded this year. The decrease Of loaded
rars last week, when compared with the
preceding week, was not for lack of freight.
but was due to the fact that, because of
severe cold. freight engines could not haul
as many cars to a train. The outlook for
business for some weeks to come could
hardly be more favorable. The reduction in
east-bound rates. which takes effect to-day.
will doubtless largely increase the grain
movements, and in the near future that Of
other classes of freight, as it is pretty well
understood that east-bound rates will soon
be reduced on provisions, produce and lum-
Der. The east-bound tonnage is still largely
in excess OF west-bound. and, while there
has been a little increase the last few days
in west-bound traffic, east4bound business
has increased proportionately, more grain,
flour, cerealine products and lumber being
shipped than for some weeks. In ship
there was a marked falling off, and the

this feature of business the transcontinental

fruits or vegetables, and the local whole
sale houses were more or less curtailed in
their trade. The roads locally handled more
coal last week than In any week of the
present season, but in live stock shipments
there was a decrease of nearly so per cent.
Freight men are not complaining. as the
roads are doing more business than at the
corresponding period of 1884, and, In fact,
the volume now exceeds that of the winter
of 1893. Below is given the car movement
for the weeks ending Feb. 2 and Jan. &c
