Ocean Rates Advance.

Ocean rates have been materially ad-
vanced on account of the foreign situation.
Western agents Of the Union line, which
operates over the Pennsylvania lines, on
Saturday received the following telegram
from the general agent of the line at New
York. owing to the British government
having taken large number of ships out of
the merchant marine service on account of
the South African troubles the market is ad-
vancing rapidly so we will have to be par
ticular to accept quotations well within the
limit or twenty-four hours given US by the
steamship lines" OF course there are al
ways those who. in the heat of excitement
loose their heads and protest that under a
certain set OF circumstances any rate named
Is too small. There are also those who be-
lieve that when the first excitement Is over
rates and the demand for transportation
Will soon adjust themselves so that no great
fear OF a marked interference need be enter
tained. Had this occurred in time of light
traffic the Interruption would not have been
so greatly felt but just now every effort Is
necessary TO meet transportation demands
under normal conditions.

HEAVY FREIGHT TONNAGE
22,s3s LOADED CARS HANDLED AT
INDIANAPOLIS LAST WEEK.
Fast Run on the Panhandle Lines
Ocean Rates Advancing and May
Affect Export Shipments.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at Indianapolis last
week a total of 2ss1s cars. 22,s3S being
loaded. This was 397 fewer loaded cars than
were handled in the week ending Oct Z,
and 1.ls7 fewer than in the corresponding
week OF 1885. but. going back of 1885, the
present loaded car movement Is largely in
excess of former years. being 1.472 more
than were handled in 1897 5.CQ1 more than
in 1896. 1909 more than in 1895, and $40
more than in the corresponding week of
1894. 1t should be borne in mind that COM
parsons this month and in November are
with period when freight traffic Is at its
maximum, grain. live stock. coal. lumber,
provisions and produce all being moved in
Immense quantities. The problem with
transportation officials Is the proper distri-
button OF cars, so that no injustice may be
done any shipper. The last week the cereal.
Inc mills. which require forty cars of corn
per day to keep them running, were obliged
10 shut down because cars in which to ship
their product could not be had. For some
time past the mills have been unable TO get
any cars except those arriving loaded with
corn, which were reloaded and sent east to
all domestic and export orders. With
plenty of corn within one hundred miles or
less, 1t seems impossible to get cars to
bring In enough corn to meet one-half their
requirements. The greatest demand is for
stock and coal cars. Higher prices for
stock and the increased demand on the
part of manufacturers for coal are creating
a volume Of traffic never before known, and
this, coupled with the heavy business in all
other lines Of traffic. keeps the transporta-
tion officials in constant worry. The most
embarrassing feature is that each day
makes the matter worse so far as cars are
concerned. New cars are daily coming into
service, and this does not much relieve the
SITUATION. Old cars are being patched up
ana put into short service and despite ali
eHorts at many points a. large tonnage OF
freight Is accommodating. The table below
shows the number Of loaded cars hardled at
this point for the week ending Oct IA and
