NEW B. & 0. CARS.
More Freight Cars WIN be Ordered for
Use on the Road

Freight cars of three different
classes have just been ordered tor the
b. & o. and will be delivered in lots
OF 20 and 30. The cars ordered are
sand to be box cars modelled after the
kind used on the p. r. X. wood and
steel gondolas The great car famine
of the pas summer caused the road
to Loose thousands of dollars and the
new management are guarding against
any such state of affairs III the future.
For some time past the b. and o,
have been using p. X. K. coal cars
and some few box cars for the ha Ill
ing of grain but the big system
could not spare many of the latter as
they needed them for their own
traffic Goal cars are now at a prem
lum and as scarce as hen teeth on the
B and O. The Fairmont operators
n ed 500 per Gay for their trade
alone, and for western shipments,
these cars must he steel gondaols as
none other are allowed to cross the
Ohio river br d2e at Belaire. The
eastern shipments of the Watson S
a mount to between two and two
hundred and fifty carloads a day.
These big operators are in arrears
with their orders on account of the
scarcity of cars and they are opening
up new coal fields. aud doubling their
contracts, twice as many cars will
be needed in the future. II is said
that only one third of the grain, in
the west has so far been shipped 10
the senboard as it is impossible 10 pro-
care cars. The grain for foreign
ports is being hustled through as rap
IDLY as trains can be made up, but
some days only eight or ten trains
can be shipped east when between
forty and fifty were expected. The
