MUCH CONCERN
CCCASlONED RAILROADS sY A
FREIGHT CAR SCARCITY
Curing the Past Year Thousands Of
Freight Cars Have Been Put
Into Service.

The scarcity of freight cars through.
out the country is matter giving rail.
road officials and shippers much con.
cern at this time. The continued lack
of cars which has been prevalent for
the past month has had the effect of
delaying traffic and in turn DELAYING
business in various lines.
1t is stated by railroad freight men
that the demand for cars this year is
as heavy as it was a year ago. if not
heavier. During the past twelve
months thousands Of new freight cars
have been put into service throughout.
the United States All the car works
CT Importance i'll the country are now
working on full time. turning out new
cars as rapidly as possible. and have
orders ahead that will keep them busy
for months Vet 10 come. Though new
cars have been pUt into service. the
demand does not seem to have been
relieved. Thes facts show that illa
amount of freight traffic this year is
heavier than in 1901. This is, to an
extent. caused by the crops of grain
and other agricultural products being
better this year than last.
During the mo- nth of July there were
handled thro' 8, the freight or e ir

i;e association a total of IS - cars.
These reports We're for about 80 l::tal
freight offices in the territor: su!-
rounding Memphis. In July 1901 the
number of ca : handled WAS 1860.
This shows an increase for I'i... Zoe.
over the CORES spunding month OF 1H01
Of 3. 3.525 ears. The business for Au-
gust only closed Saturday. and the re
port for the month will not b com
pleted for about ten days uni. all
the loca loffices have been heard from.
The cars We're handled with much
more rapidity than last year, the rail
roads keeping them moving in order
to make them of as much sef.iS., rs
possible. This year the cars We're de.
tanned on an average Of lbs days each
In 1901 the detention was LEA per

prompt than the consienees in getting
the cars on the eo t?a roads having
keep them an average of only 0.36 day
each. against % days by the con-
signees. the railroads. and .05 by the
consignees.
The demands for cars which keeps
them on the constant go. together
with the inauguration of the per diem
system of car accounting. makes the
cars earn much more than has been
the case heretofore.
The average earnings for each car
in July 1902. was % cents against 10
cents the same month of 1901.
It is stated that when the August
reports come in. the car shortage
will be shown to greatly exceed July.

With the opening of the seasons cot
tol TIA ftic this month it will make the
demand TO- ears still greater. This
will be especially true with regard to
