A DECREASE in TONNAGE
PLENTY OF BUSINESS, BUT CARS ARE
LACKING TO HANDLE II.

uary DisappOinting-The Chicago
g. Alton on the Market.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at Indianapolis in
the week ending Jan. ii a total of 25,249
cars, 49, 424 being loaded, which was 1884
fewer than were handled at this point in the
week ending Jan. :, and 1881 fewer loaded
cars than were handled at Indianapolis in
the corresponding week of 1898. This marked
decrease in loaded car movement last week
might at first thought be attributed to
the advance in rates, but such is not the
case: it is simply the impossibility of fur
nishing cars. Freight officials say tfat at
no time have they felt the scarcity of cars
more severely than for ten days past. 1t
should be borne in mind that the loaded car
movement at present and for weeks to come
will be compared with weeks in which In
dianapolis lines did the heaviest business in
their history; this is considered in compar-
ison of the number of loaded cars handled
at indianapolis last week, with the second
week of January, 1884, which shows that
last week the loaded-car movement eX-
.ceeded by 2,261 the movement of the former
week, 1887 more than in 1896, 1878 more than
In 1895. and 5,515 more than in the CORE
spending week of 1894. The fact is that there
is now more business in sight for the rail-
roads than in any January in the history
OF the railways. Inc DeSl ledtuIe IL mat
business is not confined to any one class nor
one direction. business west as well as east
bound being good. Grain, flour, provisions,
cerealine products and cotton are going for
ward in unusually large quantities for mid
winter. Locally, in manufactured products,
provisions, live stock, machinery, lumber
and produce the outbound tonnage is heavy
beyond precedent, while inbound business
is spoken of as being very satisfactory. Be
low is given the car movement for the week
ending Jan. ii and for the corresponding
weeks of 1898 and 1897:
