TONNAGE is INCREASING
LITTLE PROSPECT OF AN EARLY
FAILING OFF IN TR iFFIC.
a.. ID. Ashley. Chairman of Directors of
the Wabash, Takes "a Rosy View of
the Railroad Situation.

Freight traffic = continues heavy beyond
precedent for September, despite the fact
that not for many years has the east
bound movement of grain been as light as
the present month. The train records show
that there were received and forwarded at
Indianapolis in the week ended Sept. p a
total of 2S,376 cars, u, 969 being loaded, an
increase over the week ending Sept. IA of
Al and over the corresponding week of 1900
of III loaded cars. The Pennsylvania, the
Big Four, the Monon and the Lake Erie &
Western show increases, and the Vandalia
and the Indiana, Decatur & Western de-
creases. one of the noticeable features
was the evennes in movement of loaded
cars in opposite directions, this remark APP
plying TO north-and-south roads as we'll as
to east-and-west. The handsome earnings
the indianapolis lines are showing from
week TO week are in a considerable measure
due to the fact that cars are loaded in both
directions, unless it be coal and live stock
cars. Just now Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
Goals are moving in large tonnage, AMI the
shipments west of anthracite coal and coke
are quite heavy. Were grain moving east
ward as usual in the fall of the year it
would seriously interfere with the move
ment of other classes of freight. as the
roads are using all the cars and power they
can and carrying better paying
business than is grain. Seldom, if ever be-
fore, was there so much business done at
the city freight depotS as last week. Low
passenger rates on account of meetings at
indianapolis brought in many merchants
and manufacturers many of whom were
liberal buyers, and, combined with regular
tratflc, resulted in a large tonnage being
handled. The table below shows the num-
Der of cars handled at this point for the
week ended Sept. u, and for the CORE
spending weeks of 1900 and 1899:
