TRADE HELD BACK.
Railroad Facilities inadequate to Car
ry hipments-Shortage Felt
in Coal Trade.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says: Although the latest
railway returns indicate that transport
ing facilities have greatly improved.
the nations business has expanded
more rapidly. Car shortage has, in
fact, become the chief retarding influ-
ence. From all sections of the coun-
try and many lines of industry COM
plants are heard regarding the inabil-
ity to move goods. Probably the de-
lay has been most aggravating in the
case OF coal, unseasonably high tenn
perature alone preventing serious in
conYeniences. Net only are domestic
requirements enormous, but coal is be-
coming an important article of export

France and Great Britain and also in
the British export tax Mild weather
